we just returned from camping at clarence fahnestock state park with a colleague from my department and some of her friends. each family had a kid around the same age, and they played together beautifully. we sort of love group camping. the state park was only a short hour or so drive to get there and back, and it was absolutely beautiful. the landscape here is a lush and gorgeous...just getting ready for the brown soon.

Jeff just told me about your camping fun so now looking at the pictures makes sense. Glad you are out exploring your new state and meeting new people.
