Piercing Ken Explores Orange County Choppers

A few weeks ago I was visiting friends upstate and one of the things my buddy likes to do when I am there is keep my time occupied with the coolness of the area. He knows that I love blogging up the sights that I see and felt that a quick visit to the Orange County Choppers complex in Newburgh would be time well spent. He was right. So out came the little point and shoot and I snapped with fervor as I walked around the showroom.

Visiting Cronomer Hill Park (7/22/2012)

For the past few days I have been sharing my photographs from a recent visit to some friends who live up in Newburgh, NY. Before I caught my train my buddy suggested that we do a quick visit to Cronomer Hill Park which was on the way to the station. In this park is an elevated tower that lets you see across the Hudson Valley quite clearly. Depending on the weather you have with you this can be a wonderful visual. Fortunately for us, this was a very nice day so in we went.

Visiting Washington’s Last Encampment (7/21/2012)

Not far from the Cantonment which was presented in a couple of previous posts lies the location of Washington’s Last Encampment. The buildings have been skillfully reconstructed and if you are in the area you should add this part to your exploration as well.

There was a slight path to walk down before we reached the grounds where the buildings were standing.
