walkway over the hudson...

 We saw New York.
 The state that is...not the city!


We crossed the Hudson River north of New York City on the 1.28 mile Poughkeepsie-Highland Railroad Bridge by bike.

It was built in 1888 and was the longest bridge in the world at that time.

 It is now part of Walkway State Park... open to pedestrians and bicycles.

The new bridge sits a short distance away.

What a great idea... preserving the old bridge!

We plan to enjoy the sights of Pennsylvania for the next few days!

  6. Stay at the Amish View! That would be so lovely to think we shared something there, even if it would be several years apart. I'm thinking you are having a very blessed evening.

  11. How fun that you biked over the bridge....gives you a totally different experience I'm sure. Where you are traveling these next few days is where I want to go one day.
