#1 BOAT RIDE IN THE USA - Thousand Islands, New York

USA Today Travel subsidiary 10 Best declared the 1000 Islands as the place for the "Best U.S. Boat Ride" during the summer of 2015 in an online readers' choice competition among 20 water-touring destinations. The 1000 Islands, the international vacation region stretching for 50 miles along the St. Lawrence River, "seems made with nautical tourism in mind" according to 10 Best.

Welcome to Hammond, NY

A Small Town with Big Character

Over the years I've gone from "can't wait to leave this country town" to moving back to raise our family in this small town, with a small school ... and even a small flock of chickens in front of the Citizen's National Bank of Hammond today.  Yeah ... this is MY town and I love it ... and yes, debit cards are also just catching up (novel idea, eh) ... although a lot of business transactions around here can still be done the old fashioned way ... based upon your word and a handshake not plastic!"
