An excursion to the our gallery in Montgomery, and then on to the Gunks beyond New Palz (after a reallyreallygood lunch at the Gilded Otter) brought us to the most astonishing and gorgeous ice forms on every branch, twig, and rock in the mountains called the "Gunks" which is a local contraction of "Shawangunk". Despite the incredible ice show we get on the trees behind our house several times each winter, the dazzling show we experienced today in the mountains was beyond unique.
