Northeast Trip Christmas 2003

Dec 19

The day before I left STL I noticed the construction cranes on Forest Park Parkway were decorated for the holidays.

Dec 22

A trip to John Boyd Thatcher State Park.

Thatcher is in the Heldeberg mountain range and provides nice views from an escarpment. In the third picture downtown Albany can be seen.

Thatcher Park is scenic. This is a stream through one part of it.

I slogged up along the stream through foot deep snow for this pic.

Yes, the snow was reasonably deep. No picnicing today.

Not far from the park is this barn - decaying farmsteads are common throughout the Northeast.
