I turned aorund a Copake Falls:
Getting really close to New York:
There's actually two sections to the trail. I drove between the sections:
back on the bike:
Amenia (latin for Pleasing to the Eye), NY. I agree:
One of the ways you can tell if you are in Upstate or Downstate is how close are you to a New York City Commuter Train:
End of the Line:
Back home on the Taconic State Parkway:
I was going to the walkway across the Hudson in Poughkeepsie, but ran out of time. Today, I went down to Martin Van Buren's House in Kinderhook:
Old singal:
200 Feet above the hudson:
A needed improvement. They'e had several folks jump off:
Sculling:
The Mid Hudson Bridge:
Poughkeepsie, NY:
End of the Line:
Old caboose and station:
Another part of the old Railbad is now the Dutchess Rail Trai:
End of the line in Hopewell Junction:
A nice horse farm:
and to wind up the day, 75 miles on the Taconic parkway:
