After the walk, with future walks in mind, our group of five decided to check the beach parking lot at Canopus Lake. There was a $7 vehicle parking fee, however, so we didn't go in. Next we decided to check out the camping area behind Pelton Pond. WOW! We couldn't believe how many sites there are and there were scads of campers there. It's very extensive.
On our way back to Fishkill, we spotted the sign for Stone Crop Gardens and decided to check the site out. It's very large and beautiful with a wide variety of plantings. After leaving the gardens, three of us lunched at the Red Line.

| how about a picnic here? |
 |
| gotta get at least one flower pic in |
 |
| this is our choice for a picnic site-there are tables outside with a view of the lake |
 |
| and we can go inside if the weather isn't favorable |
