I didn't think I'd get lucky enough to get on a boat again after I had gone pontoon boating to party island with Sam Musselman and his friends, so the opportunity to ride around on the only Ferry left on the Susquehanna was readily welcomed by me. I got up early this morning and took the first few trips across the river with Captain Cliff Tschopp and his first mate Nathan Hoy. I saw a few herons, egrets, eagles, and deer, and learned from a story by Captain Cliff that even valedictorians can do stupid things like blow their hands off with homemade fireworks. Also learned that bear meat works well in stroganoff.
