Thanks to everyone who supported our "b.e. curious" event!

As part of Hudson River Ramble, Moving Planet and National Public Lands Day on September 24 ,2011 Turning Point Design sponsored a Blue Elm Clothing "b.e there" event at Hudson Crossing Park. We got moving locally to act globally with over 177 other countries to show our support of moving beyond fossil fuel, planted daffodils in the gardens and other park projects, tried out our hula hooping skills in the beautiful Play Garden, and offered information on "Clothing Choices for Climate Solutions" all while enjoying the magnificent Hudson River Valley.

Do you know what 350 stands for??? b.e curious at 350.org.

Old Saratoga Folklore Questions answered:

During the talk about folklore on September 25th a couple of questions were asked that Mike did not have the answers to. Here are the questions asked and their answers.

1. What is the depth of the canal?
a. The modern Champlain Canal has a depth of 12 feet. The original canal depths ranged from 4 - 5 feet.

2. If a Packet boat with passengers caught up to a cargo boat, could it pass the cargo boat?
a. YES, Canal boats could pass one another traveling in opposite directions or overtaking one another traveling in the same direction. Packet boats were given priority.
