Those who know me are aware that Noah John Rondeau, The Hermit Of Cold River, has been a long time hero of mine. Some may see Bill Gates, one of the world's richest men, as a hero, but I'll stick with those that are rich in more spiritual ways..
It's Sunday, and the weather outside is unfit for man or beast, so I thought it might be a good day for a good read..
This comparison of two unlikely compatriots, might fill the bill...
From the writings of The Airondack Museum...
Noah John Rondeau..
Enjoy a relaxing Sunday..

25 years ago, I went looking for Cold River in a canoe with my young wife in the bow. We paddled down the lake from the bridge over Route 30 and I scrambled out of the boat "looking for signs." Since we had used up quite a bit of energy and daylight, I soon had to return to the boat for what turned out to be a tough paddle against the wind all the way. When we were nearly home, a seaplane nearly cut us in half taking off.

Michael,
ReplyDeleteThe old hermitage can be found by taking the State Trail out of Long Lake, out near Shaw's Pond.. My wife and I started down it on more than one occasion, but never made it..
