Hudson River Plus





    The Hudson, what a beautiful trip. About 20 miles north of Manhattan this is what you 
     see until your about 10 miles south of Albany. Notice the tunnel just below the bridge.
    Trains run about every hour from freight trains to Amtrak.



    Bear Mountain just outside of West Point.



    The upper Hudson has to rank right up at the top with any area we traveled through
    for absolute beauty. You go from the Catskill Mountains to the Adirondacks.



    Emily and Tim Martin ( Tim's daughter Florence) and their mother Monica. Their father Bill 
    was my best friend growing up and was best man in our wedding and I was best man in 
    he and Monica's.
     Bill passed away in 1985 at 39 years young.We spent the afternoon visiting as 
    we were at a Marina a few miles from their home in Coxsackie.
 


    Anybody need a plastic bag?


    West Point.......213 years old. Notable alumni......Ulysses S Grant, Dwight Eisenhower,
    Jefferson Davis, Robert E Lee, George Armstrong Custer, Douglas McArthur, and 
    George Patton. Not too shabby!




    Albany.
