I visited Camp Huntington earlier this week.  The sun was shining and the weather was beautiful.  The snow started to melt drop by drop creating a lake atop of the lake.  I used a Ranger (covered ATV) to cross the lake on the ice road.  The water was spraying from the tires as though I was in my boat.  Cracks in the ice were everywhere, but were not a concern at the time.  The ice road was still approximately two feet thick.

The College of William and Mary were busy with winter activities as they enjoyed their spring break.  Two weeks ago, SUNY Cortland art students had a sculpting retreat at Camp Huntington.  The group created and eight foot tall snowflake.  It was visible through our Web camera, www.cortland.edu/outdoor/raquette/webcam.htm, especially at night.  After lunch on Monday, the WM students noticed the sculpture melting.  One girl decided that she should have her picture taken next to the art work.  She moved within about two feet of the snowflake as someone said, “Don’t touch it.”  I can bet that you know what happened next.  The girl extended her pointer finger and without even touching the sculpture, it crashed to the ground.  Her face was priceless.  It was as though candid camera was there somewhere.
