This weekend the 2011 NYS Outdoor Guides Association Rendezvous proved to include all the fun of a day on trail. Saturday I took a group of visiting guides and new friends for a spectacular if short climb up Owl’s Head in Lake Placid. Pictured are Janice Joyce, Jim Zach, Donald McDonald, Dana Bol, Hank Rope and Phyllis Whittemore.
Later in the day an equally distinguished group photo was taken of NYSOGA guides who were among the charter members when NYSOGA formed in 1981. NYSOGA celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2011. These guides are all special men who have given hours to shepherd the tradition of guiding in a positive direction. Thank you for your dedication, your hard work and your willingness to chat with those of us who are following you.
