Minnewaska
We went to Minnewaska State Park this weekend.
What a wonderful ride.
Peak leaf season makes for a full parking lot. A full parking lot makes it difficult to maneuver a 24' trailer. I called after we got home & found that if needed, they will unlock the entrance near the horse parking lot for leaving.
Whew!
That's a good thing to know.
Also...
Great news!
"No Hunting" allowed near carriageways. They are open & safe all year to horses & people.

NYSHC Fall Pleasure Ride
Well, we just came back from the NYSHC Fall Pleasure Ride in Brookfield, NY. What a great weekend! The horse council works so hard to put this weekend together & they really do a fantastic job.
There were so many people there, we ended up parking in the track area. The barns were full & many horses were in portable corrals.
The food was delicious as usual. The auction was fun. Sitting around a campfire with friends makes for a really good time. There was a lot of laughing, especially when a skunk showed up.
*The guest speaker spoke about roll over prevention on farm machinery. He showed a few gruesome pictures.
Did you know... NY has a rebate program for installing roll over bars on older tractors that don't have any. That's great news.
The weather was so warm, we even walked around in T-shirts in the evening. It rained Saturday & Sunday night, but no problem. By morning, the sun was out challenging you to get in the woods before it got too hot.
We had enough fun to keep me laughing for awhile, especially when I think about that skunk.
