August 13, 1983, 42 years ago today: It was still cloudy this morning when I woke up, and the air had turned even chillier. I had not seen a morning that cold since Tennessee. After the persistent heat wave that dogged me through six states from Virginia through New York, shivering was a pleasure. Still, in order to warm up, I really had to start moving quickly when I hit the trail.

Yesterday was shooting day!
We had a blast in the first surrounding our house with my friend Léonard Daver.
I will now work on editing all that raw video and release there first extract of the album as soon as possible ;)
I also want to thank deeply my friend Léo for being there, supportive and helping, since the very beginning of my musical project ❤️

From the woods with love,
Quentin

I have to modify my tactics to better protect the aspen saplings on my hill.

Two aspen saplings in a wire mesh cage that protects them from deer and elk, but it doesn't protect them from chipmunks and other small animals that periodically strip them of leaves.

The sapling on the left has been trying to grow for years, but gets mown down every season. The very young sapling on the right shows very large leaves and has doubled in height in two months.

If they survive next spring, I will cover this cage with very tight wire mesh to keep out the small animals.

August 12, 1983, 42 years ago today: Macedonia Brook abounded in tough climbs. The rocky trail off Cobble Mountain descended very steeply over boulders sheathed with slick, dripping moss. There were more nice views a mile later from the top of Pine Hill. The entire state park was beautiful, one of the nicest stretches on the Appalachian Trail since Shenandoah National Park in Virginia.

August 12, 1983, 42 years ago today: The open, grassy crest of Cobble Mountain looked just as lovely today as the image which had lingered in my memory. Encircling the summit was a sprawling rock outcrop with extensive views to the north and west. The mountain overlooked a lush, green valley filled with forests and pastures in the foothills of eastern New York State.
