Did another 560 mile loop yesterday and found some really pretty backwater spots. The roads between Madison on US 20 and Cooperstown are barely wide enough for cars to pass in opposite directions in a few spots and the worst traffic was a few loose goats.

Capt. Lou falls under the Paul Teutul Sr. rule and is therefore an upstater.

When I used to travel to Newburgh regularly, I ran into Paul Sr all the time at Matson's deli in New Windsor.

You're making turns on what appears to be an uncrowded decent slope in sunny 60 degree weather on a November Thursday with a cold IC in hand?

I see nothing wrong with any of this.

I see nothing but right with all of this.

Now that is a region I can speak to. Spent a lot of summer time days around Cherry Valley and one valley over in a town called Roseboom. Nice area and yeah, more cows than people, one revolutionary war era massacre and probably a few stray bison wandering around.

I think that one of these days I need to do Rt 30 complete from N to S

I've ridden the whole section below the Thruway on my motorcycle. The section around the reservoir is fun, but the road surface is patchy is spots. North of Rt 28 it's a bit too open for peg scraping. Rt 28 from Andes to Oneonta is fun and well maintained.

Yeah I've done pieces but missed a lot. There are some super pretty spots along the way and it's up great north.

the section above the thruway is beautiful; but take a right on rt.8 for a great drive up the east branch of the sacandaga river…

Not sure how relevant it is to you guys but just in case somebody’s looking for some lower upstate night skiing opportunities, Holiday’s revival seems to be full steam ahead.

excited to make the turkey day pilgrimage back to the upstates this week. heading out to Utica/Marcy for thanksgiving with the fam and then hangin in the Dirty Roc for the rest of the weekend. tomato pie on the menu as an appetizer before the bird gets served, and you know we'll be washin' it down with some UC's.

You have a very cool job. In an old school, low tech way.

How many times does one need to quote a long list of images? Put a tarp on that shit.

As many times as it takes.

[twomartinis]

Wait, are we rewinding rotors, replacing journal bearings or both?


We got out for a night filled with upstate goodness:

UC on tap


Utica greens on the menu


Gold cans at the show

Hey does anyone here know a NYS DMV attorney? We have a title problem with a car and I need to solve it asap.

[BmillsSkier]

Bout that time someone got the lake-effect machine out of the shed and fired it up.

Looks like it's a good thing I also have plenty of customers here in SE NY, I really love driving in the snow but not for work. I decided a looong time ago that if I wreck a car going skiing or doing family stuff so be it but, if my car gets wrecked when I could've been working on the phone or sending emails I'd be pissed.
