Sand Dunes

Lake Contours for major lakes in Cattaraugus County

A common request I get is for lake contours for fishing. Unfortunately most counties have not digitized this data if any data exists at all.  Cattaraugus County has posted lake contours for many of it's lakes.

Tulip Break.

While we are still about a month from a full outbreak of spring weather in the city, I thought I post some tulip pictures to get us into the spring feeling as we wrap up March.

At Washington Park.

Orange Tulips

At the State Capitol.

Tulips and the Egg on the Plaza.

Tulip Time!

A burst of color in front of the Moses statue.

I hope you enjoyed this brief intermission of color.

Besides following a lot of off-griders on Youtube and Facebook, I also follow a lot of homesteaders, although it’s kind of a blend between the two

Besides following a lot of off-griders on Youtube and Facebook, I also follow a lot of homesteaders, although it’s kind of a blend between the two. I am just endlessly fascinated about rural life and land, and how mankind interacts with nature for good or for bad. I like their independence, their spirit, their deep reverence for the land and all it provides to us all.
