I Am Very Much At Home On The ‘Hudson Valley’.

I am no stranger to the Hudson Valley.

I first visited it 1967/1968. Have been back many times since then. But, this year, visiting ‘Poughkeepsie‘ (for old times’ sake from my days at ‘IBM‘) I have formed a deep attachment. This was my second visit (for a total of 6 days) in 6 weeks.

It is now May and it is getting TOO BUSY for my liking. But, plan to go back in September. Yes, more visits to the Hudson Valley than Maine. But, NO BOOKS. They have a surfeit & it will take me a few more visits to feel like an expert. SMILE.

This picture was taken at ‘Locust Grove‘ (from THE ‘house’ looking towards the river).

This was last Thursday, March 7, 2024, during my 3-day trip to Poughkeepsie, New York.

It was WINDY. Blowing a GAIL. Howling. But, I wasn’t sure whether I would have another chance. So, I had to give it a try.

I was HOPING to just walk across the ‘Walkway over the Hudson‘. But, that looked closed and I assumed it was. I was WRONG. So, I ended up walking that too. SMILE.

Check it out. You will enjoy it.
