Took a trip to Mason Brothers’ Architectural Salvage Warehouse this past weekend. You should definitely check it out if you are ever in Essex Junction, VT. It is a treasure trove of antique doors, old hardware, furniture, lighting, and a million other odds & ends salvaged from old homes & businesses. I could have spent all day there. They have a small book section when you walk in… scored this gem in the SH/Co. palette. It tells the story of a group of junior high boys exploring the Connecticut River. According to the book, “Becket Adventures, each summer, sponsors a traveling school with the mission of canoeing from the Canadian Border to Long Island Sound. During the 400 mile long journey it was the job of the twenty-eight boys to compile a report on the condition of the river in the year 1970. This is their report.” Sounds like an adventure. If only girls were allowed!* Found here *Sounds like the girls had their own adventures… the record for July 17 tells of running into a group of girl scouts at a campsite in Twin Mountain, NH. The boys had two tasks that evening: “One is to make contact with the girl scouts; the other to try to buy out the Dairy Queen.” Tough life! Photos by AB
