September 19, and off to Amenia NY NOT Armenia

BRRRRRR!!!!!!!  Was 40 degrees when we got up this morning in the campground.  Not quite ready for cold weather, although no rain, so cant complain too much.  Sun did come out and day got better as progressed.

In no mans land as far as campsites and hotels so we have to plan distance as well as lodging.  Only went 28 miles today, but the next alternative was 65, wid lots of hills!!!!  We had a couple of  big climbs this morning then it was easy.  The last 8 miles was on a paved rail trail. 

Here goes the pics.....

came upon a small dam used to run water wheel that pumped air into steel furnace...cool huh?

Furnce

Some type of limestone/marble quarry

And its off to general New England pics

This was going down, but to get here, we went up, and steeper

Millerton NY.  We caught an 8 mile paved rail trail here.

Got on the trail and couldn't stop, so I took some pics on the fly while riding

Not quite like I pictured Harlem, but I'll take it.

Almost ran over this little guy.  Looks well fed
