What I'm doin'

Instead of wasting my time posing for a picture with Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck for the seventh time, on this Friday the thirteenth I depart for Crown Point, New York. On the way I can see a shadow or two on the Hudson, and stop at Fort William Henry and Fort Ticonderoga. After Crown Point I will hike to St. Francis on Lake St. Peter in Canada and return via Lake Memphremagog. Then I will fly to Fort Michilimackinac in Michigan and search in vain for the Northwest Passage to the Pacific. Pontiac says it exists but I trust Sir William Johnson with my life.
