To Blennerhasset Island- finally met Linda and Herb Roush at the sternwheeler “Blennerhasset” for the trip over and met Ray Wick, historian for the Blennerhasset Park Board. All pleased to have there a descendant of a family who lived on the island before the Blennerhassets- Benoni and Phoebe Hurlbut and children John, Abigail, Mary and Benoni, Jr.
The reconstructed mansion is beautiful- three-story Georgian with two sets of Colonnades curving to “dependencies” (small houses.)
Got to Salt Fork Lodge after dark 6 mi from route 22! Seven of us guests of Bill Nolan for dinner there.
