Speechless Sunday|The Outhouse

 

Living in the Hudson Valley I run across buildings from other periods.   Over the years of have seen a variety of outhouses.  Some were ornate and other were just plain.

The one in the photography was on the grounds of Cedar Grove one of the many Historic sites to be found in the area.  I must say the colors certainly make you take a second look,

The fall foliage train is back on track in the Catskills

The fall foliage train is back on track in the Catskills.  What a relief! the ride along the Esopus River is very scenic and taking a train ride is a great way to see the fall foliage.  All this was in jeopardy because Hurricane Irene caused extensive damage to the track;

I was concerned about the loss of the entire season because these rides bring tourist dollars to the area and would be a significant loss to the economy.

So plan to board the train this fall for a very scenic ride and keep in mind that the money you spend will contribute to the recovery of the area.

For details on the tours visit the Catskill Mountain Railroad website

In the meanwhile, here is a short video of a trip I took on the rail to see the fall foliage 2 years ago
