Fall in New York, October 2010

First week of October 2010 Patti & I traveled to Bronx New York to visit David, Jana, and our grand kids. What a wonderful time to visit. Since we visited most of Manhattan by subway last time, we decided to discover what New York has to offer in the great outdoors.

One of the highlights was camping in the Catskill Mountains. Jana once again performed her magic and reserved a beautiful spot next to a softly rolling creek. It was just beautiful and wonderful spot.





We enjoyed an awesome family hike up Kaaterskill Falls and created the following movie of our journey.

This was a lot of fun getting some exercise while enjoying the wonderful scenery. The grand kids did marvelously on this hike!




The boys had a great fishin trip planned on the Long Island Sound. We recruited Captain Rich Tenreiro and his first mate Natalie Roseberry to take Spencer Mangum, Roroy Sandberg, David Badger, and I out to catch some Blackfish. Rich Tenreiro interview available at JustGoFishin Tales and Reports Podcast Show. Video below shows the great time we had.

Just another awesome vacation in New York. I've miss placed some other pictures we took of the Bronx Zoo and Apple Picking. Both were a lot of fun.

We do our best in getting out to enjoy the outdoors which we both love. Camping is something we love but don't get enough opportunities do do it.
