Jun 2 - 19, 2017 Saugerties, New York

Glad to get out of New York City... it's like you have entered a new world... leave the city and it just gets absolutely beautiful. Staying at Rip Van Winkle Campground in Saugerties, NY... what a gorgeous place!!!
  

And a new state... New York!
  

POUGHKEEPSIE
45 minutes south of Saugerties is Poughkeepsie. It has the "Walk Over the Hudson" bridge. This used to be a  railroad bridge that is now the longest pedestrian bridge in the world at around 1.25 miles. The view is incredible.

These pictures are from the middle of the bridge...
   

  

Finally got a pictures of us thanks to a very nice lady...

The Poughkeepsie area is where Franklin Delano Roosevelt's home and Presidential Library are located...

Presidential Library

The house... 

  

FDR and Eleanor are buried here...

  

The Vanderbilts also had a house here... It is being renovated so we did not see much, but the grounds and the views of the Hudson are incredible...
  

  

WOODSTOCK
Just a few miles north of our campsite is Woodstock. The famous concert was supposed to happen here, but it actually grew so much, that it was moved to a nearby town. However, the name stuck and the town remained a Hippie Mecca!!! It's a small town with shops and an occasional concert on the plaza...
   

   

   

Of course there is this...


We've had rain almost everyday... now time to move on to Connecticut!!!
