TAKE OUT TIME!

Early morning steam coming off the water and cool nights signal that it's time to take boats out and winterize. Pictured is Henry Leck and buddy from Sweetwater Lake meeting the boat mechanic at the launch ramp preparing for winterization.

HAUNTED HAY RIDE / TRAIL

The annual Haunted Hay Ride and Haunted Trail will be held on Friday, October 29th and Saturday, October 30th at Sweetwater Beach. Hayrides begin at 8:00 PM each evening and continue until Mid-night. Fee is $4 for youngsters under 12 and $8 for adults. This fundraiser benefits the Cordry Sweetwater Fire Department.

SWAN SONG

Early morning kayakers were also enjoying the swans at the north end of Sweetwater. At present time, the swans seem quite docile but they have been known to be quite agressive in the spring. The Conservancy is dedicated to relocating the swans to a private owner's pond.

MORNING KAYAKERS

Early morning kayakers today! Anita, Betty, Cathy, and Marylou were out at 8:30 AM enjoying the glass-like water and the fall colors on Sweetwater Lake.

WING DRYING

I passed across Cordry Dam on Wednesday morning, September 29th about 11:00 AM and enjoyed the turkey vultures drying their wings in the sunshine. Some of their brothers and sisters were across the road at water's edge jumping in for a morning bath.
