Hello Friends of the Road,

I’m writing you all to share some big news: drum roll please…. it is Spring again! I know it has been for a while now, but with weather like we’re getting here in the northeast, it is invigorating! With temperatures in the 80’s here, it is more like summer actually. I’m in no rush. I prefer the cooler weather. I hope you all are doing well. 

Time has been flying by quickly for me lately and I lost track of time a bit. I’m rushing to get a reminder out about the upcoming outing this weekend. Number one for 2021! I’m excited about this one. To me, it’s like starting the season with the Daytona 500, as it could be my favorite for the year. It will have lots of uncharted territory for me and with a team of Jim Rowe and Bill Powers leading, I’m guaranteed to fill my head with interesting history. Hopefully the weather is hospitable. 

I have news to share related to one of our treasured roadside markers. If you’re looking for marker #45A , you may have a hard time finding it. Last year a discussion began to reset the marker as it was sinking deeply and was getting difficult to read fully. The town of Pittsford generously offers their road crew to help pull it out of the depths of the underworld for us. Then after further thought and discussion, we changed our direction to temporarily remove it from active duty. It has a date on it of 1759, and historical research has led us to believe the 1759 route of the CPR did not go along Depot Hill, but only later routes. So for now, we are storing it for future deployment. It will return to active duty when a suitable location is agreed upon. If that makes you think that a new markers book should be released, well so do we. There are a few good reasons to create a new edition, and some work has begun. But with weather like this, I expect it will be back burnered for a while. So in the meantime, don’t forget that marker #45A will be absent for a bit.

For you that don’t have your CPRA magnets handy, here’s the details about the outing Saturday:

Bill Powers of the Pittsford Historical Society will co-lead with CPRA historian Jim Rowe. There will be a combination of driving & walking. We will visit a variety of locations that include former forts, a CPR branch road, and the original Pitt’s Ford crossing of the the Otter Creek. Wear hiking shoes, bring water and a lunch. For more info, call Jim at (802) 434-7415

And one last thing, if I don’t see you soon, have a great Memorial Day, and let those flags flap in the breeze. 

Take care all!
