  • Osprey Point

    Osprey Point

    Well, if you have to be stuck someplace, this is a nice spot. The view from the boat to shore is pictured. The Inn, Restaurant and Bath House are in the large building. A nice pool and playground are alongside. The docks are all floating, so there is no need to worry about tides. Bicycles…

  • Sleepover

    Sleepover

    After the bad news about the engine yesterday, we were treated to ice cream at the local drugstore, which is a trip back into the 1940’s.
