We can't say much about the areas of Massachusetts and Connecticut that we drove through on Wednesday. Very beautiful country, deeply forested with old, old towns and villages, many established in the late 1600s, early 1700s. But, looking at the days we have left to us for this trip we made the decision to take the highway and Interstate so as to arrive at Gettysburg, PA a little sooner.

This is the bridge on I-84 spanning the Hudson River at Newburgh, NY. We apologize for not stopping to take pictures of this majestic river which is about a half mile wide at this point. Ocean going vessels can navigate this river clear to Albany and beyond.

The West Point US Military Acadamy is just a short distance downriver. This area is full of history, but we traveled on, the days left for our trip pressing upon us.
