A couple weeks ago (June 24 to June 28) I went on my first real road trip by myself. Sure I’ve driven to and from Vermont a few times (and took back roads to visit Vermonter Stations on my way, including Palmer for the back-up move) but on all those trips my Brother, who I was chauffeuring […]

Well, I went slightly out of order down the Hudson Line but with this update, the entire Hudson Line is “complete” outside of New York City: Hastings-on-Hudson–(68 Photos) Greystone–(50 Photos) Enjoy! Stay tuned for something still on the same railroad but west.
Since I’m ‘only’ working full time and without classwork now, there should be a few more website updates coming around this summer. I’m first determine to actually finish the Hudson Line. These rebuilt stations are out of order but I have my reasons. Yonkers–(66 Photos) Ludlow–(25 Photos) Enjoy! Happy 4th!

Where I had to go yesterday inspired me to get back to work on finishing the Hudson Line. I found out about an APA-planning related book talk being held at the Hudson Valley Writers’ Center located in […]
