Today we are touring the Upper Hudson where New Yorkers come for winter getaways......Our loop along Route 23 and 23A covers the Catskills that Tropical Storm Irene in August 2011 struck with heavy rainfall, high winds and severe flooding. Clean up effects are still in progress.....And yes, Miss Saddi is ready for another day on the road..
Time to GO!!!!!
Lots of curves and small quaint towns to see
The Esopus Creek empties into the Hudson at Saugerties. Water rushing out of the mountains once powered a mill that led the town to the forefront of the paper industry.
Saugerties
Slide Mountain rises 4,180 feet, is the tallest in the Catskills
Nice view of the Valley as we climb
Windham Ski Area
Saddi in her back seat covered with sheets
St John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church
Built without nails
Crazy Bicycle Race.....downtown blocked off
Think we are on Needles Hwy in the Black Hills

Bob Dylan was a long time resident
Lunch today at the Hot Dog Wagon
