Welcome to Massachusetts!

Crossing a state line is always a happy moment in the journey.

While on the road to Cornwall...

...we encountered this quixotic piece of art in the middle of nowhere, just poking out of the weeds.

Conneticut Sunrise

We rarely get to see the sun rise over the horizon because we're often camped in a valley. But the low angle of the sun creates rich colors and interesting shadows on the forest floor.

Dover Oak

The largest tree on the Appalachian Trail, the Dover oak is over 300 years old.

Hudson Valley

Taken while crossing the Bear Mountain Bridge. The most beautiful river crossing so far.

An exquisite piece of architecture spanning the Hudson River near Harriman state park.
