Dan and Tiffany's (Day 2: Sept 25, 2021)

 Woke to a clear chilly morning of 44 degrees. I wandered the front of the property with my coffee then caught up with Dan. We took a ride to their friend Mike's home to pick up some basil and then he showed us how to get to an Amish woman, Sarah, who sells produce. Bought and ate a huge glazed donut and bought some peppers for grilling later in the day. Then headed into Warren to wander around and explore. A nice little town where the downtown is fairly well maintained. A number of historic homes that are in fine shape.


On the way home we visited and walked around Chapman Dam state park near their home. Irene and I did some drone flying around their property. First time for Irene to fly and she did well with the Mavic Air.



I set up the solo stove with the tripod and dutch oven to cook Dutch Oven Chicken Marbella. I had prepped the chicken and marinade before we left Rochester so it was easy to pull together. It came out amazingly well.
