My friend John Manzi lived in Mongaup Valley. Now in St. Petersburg, Florida living with his daughter. A great guy!
I went up there until the year 2002, the area was mostly woods and plenty of wild animals including bears. I had a long walk from my driveway to my house and at night and it was pitch black dark, I shook my keys just to let the wildlife know I was coming.
I had a close friend living in White Lake and one night I went to visit him and, on the way home I got stuck on the road. I walked down his dark street, and I couldn't see anything. Apparently at one point there was a duck right next to me and it quacked, I almost jumped out of my pants.
