@gsteckelcreations.bsky.socialA quick visit lakeside in Findley Lake to check out the view. A very overcast, and uncomfortably humid day for temperatures in the low 70's. The slight breeze does help a bit. The mosquitoes are unforgiving. ~Gretchen

@ce-mckenna.bsky.socialAttending the #Boulder Histories Film Festival is such a treat. There have been some standout stories told, especially about Oscar White, a man who escaped slavery and moved to Goss Grove, about the history of irrigation, about the renovation of #Chautauqua’s auditorium, and Frozen Dead Guy Days.

@travelmuses.bsky.socialA 150-year-old scale model of the Holy Land sits on the shore of Chautauqua Lake, New York — built so 1800s visitors could "walk" from Dan to Beersheba without leaving home. 📍 Chautauqua Lake, NY #Chautauqua #PalestinePark #NewYorkTravel
