I was asked to join some friends for an afternoon on the Allegheny River. Ted Duncan is a recent acquaintance. We met with our mutual enjoyment to play 
music. Ted is a bass guitarist. We hit it off immediately. He, also, owns a pontoon boat. Words had been expressed a couple of times to get together and do a boat ride.

The original plan was to go on Lake Arthur, but appointment issues with my wife, Laurie forced a decision to attend some boating on the beautiful Allegheny River at Kittanning, Pennsylvania. Mutual friends, Dick and Danna Vernon were, also, on the ride. We had a lot of laughs and great conversation. Don Gaiser and his lady-friend were present, as well.
The September 22 weather was very warm and bright this day. Of course, boating in such weather is a good thing! 
The trip went south on the river and way up the lower Crooked Creek watershed beginning at Rosston, Pennsylvania. Afterwards we all went farther south on the river to Lock Number 6 before turning back north.
Wildlife spotted included Canada Geese Soft-shelled Turtles, Great Blue Herons plus a couple of Red-Tailed Hawks.
Thank you Ted!
