These two photos were taken at a pull-off on the way back from West Point. You can make out the stadium in one of the pictures. It is very difficult to take pictures from this mountainous, winding road.
These two pictures are poor attempts to take photos from a moving car on the bridge over the Hudson:
We had a crowd on this shopping trip - Sandy, her mom, the two boys, and me. I just thank God I can do my own grocery shopping alone. I've paid my dues trying to shop with kids in tow when my own kids were small.
I hate to say it but I am growing anxious to get on the road again. I am going to change my planned route somewhat. I had planned to drive first to Kentucky to visit relatives, but not having a place to leave the dog (such as inside an RV) narrows my choices. I'm afraid it will be too warm for her to stay in the car in a few weeks. I am putting her in a kennel for 3 nights when I go to the graduation in Pennsylvsnia, and that gets expensive.
I looked at a few maps this morning, but won't make up my mind until I return from PA. I'd like to keep my daily mileage way lower this trip, but it all depends on where I can find pet friendly motels - not easy when you don't travel the interstates exclusively.
- West Point
Today we drove to "The Point" to shop at the PX and Commisary, and I am really beat! It's a nice trip though, and scenic for much of the way. The photos were taken from a pull-out on the very winding hilly road leaving West Point, and...
- Views I Will Soon Be Missing
I never tire of all the trees, grass, and greenery! The picture below was taken of a neighbor's yard, and I love the beautiful symetrical pine tree in the center of the photo. Since I had planned to drive a different route back to CA I didn't...
- Graduation Weekend
My granddaughter is the 5th one back on the left. There were about 350 in the graduating class (out of 500 who began 4 years ago). It was a very nice ceremony and a beautiful sunny day. I forgot to put sunscreen on my shoulders and got a burn that is...
- Not Much Luck Today
I set out this morning to find another historical site in the area. I had a difficult time finding it and ended up driving up a winding road for several miles and then back down again. The site turned out to be exactly where it should have been, and...
- Big Timber, Montana
I was on the road this morning at 8:00 am, headed for Jackson, WY and the VC for the Grand Teton National Park. I felt like I had already done half a day's work by the time I made umpteen trips to the truck with all the stuff. After driving about...
