**Brownski** · 09-05-2024, 05:18 PM

Somebody from Pittsburgh tried to tell me on a paddling forum I kind of follow that Hyde Park is downstate.

Heh, heh. Kayaking. It’s good to be open minded though. But not on this “Hyde Park is downstate” stuff. That has been decided already.

Lol. No but it's representative of the way many think. They're wrong but that's what we're here for.

First "turns" on a dusty coating of ice on Whiteface is a long standing tradition.

I like Saranac root beer. Does that count?

RPI is my kids safety. And he already has a scholarship.
What do I need to know? Other than it’s definitely upstate.

If we do a tour what could entice him? Other than Ted’s.

^ Dinosaur BBQ. It's not as good as the OG in Syracuse (mostly because it's not a biker hangout) but the food is great.

**m2711c** · 09-13-2024, 12:36 PM

rensselaer is just fancy talk for troy...

fact.

**MyNameIsAugustWest** · 09-13-2024, 12:52 PM

The town of Rensselaer is a couple of towns south of Troy. RPI is in Troy but both are in Rensselaer county.
