“Stop children. What’s that sound? Everybody look what’s going down…” Stephen Stills

I usually like 1960s original recordings best. But I do love some good swamp blues, especially when it’s Tab Benoit. Thanks for indulging me in this digression. It does relate to the story. That’s where I got the titular question for this chapter. Lauren Scott More than Coffee

You’ve reached The Armadillo Files. Stand by for a wild and crazy ride.

When mentioning my weird imagination, more than a few people have asked me if I was doing drugs, specifically the psychedelic kind. After this chapter you might ask the same question. The answer is “No.” Although lately I’ve been intrigued by the healthful properties and nutritional aspects of some of those fabulous fungi. Since I’m not on medication, I sometimes look for natural things to help with my PTSD anxiety issues. Lion’s mane mushrooms sounded promising, but I haven’t noticed any results. However, they’re super-cool looking, and that got into this chapter.

Photographer Tim Price at Off Center & Not Even let me use some of his beautiful mushroom and fungi photos for a serial in the past, and I’m featuring them today.

Fish Creek Ponds- 3 in One

Want to paddle on three different lakes or ponds in one day? Would you like to do this without getting out of your kayak or canoe? There are a few options to do this in the Adirondack Mountains of New York.

Three bodies of water you could paddle in one trip are Follensby Clear Pond, Fish Creek Pond, and Upper Saranac Lake. One way you can accomplish this is to start at Follensby Clear Pond on the south side. There is a parking lot and boat launch there. The boat launch on the northern end of Follensby is further away and would lengthen your trip. Another option is you could start at the boat launch on Fish Creek Ponds.
