Battenkill

I took advantage of my travels to stop in Manchester VT last week. I stopped by the American Fly Fishing Museum and lucked out. Ogden Pleissner's [American Painter 1905-1983] paintings and etchings were on display. I had 20 minutes before the museum closed, but I did my best to take it all in...he may be my favorite artist of all time. What a treat.

I also managed to do a little fishing on the Battenkill. A few fish were caught and I have a "the one that got away" story, but it was nice to wade through this historic river. At 9:00 the lightening made me nervous and I bolted to a local pub.
