We
spent yesterday exploring the Hudson Valley with visits
to Van Cortlandt Manor in Croton-on-Hudson and the New Croton
Dam, which is the second-largest hewn stone structure in
the world--only the Great Pyramid is bigger! The leaves
are turning, and pumpkins are everywhere--

The
Phoenix One is headed toward Boston now, via the Massachusetts
Turnpike. It's a brisk, sunny day, and the road music's
blasting as we zoom east.

Boston's
skyline greeted us at sundown, and we made an unplanned
tour through the North End. Narrowly avoiding Callahan Tunnel
on the right (no propane allowed) and Charles Street on
the left (cars only), we ended up across the river in Cambridge.
Eventually, we succeeded in cruising Commonwealth Avenue
and hoping for a parking miracle. None materialized, however,
and we retired to Foxboro for the night. Today, we'll go
back to Boston... by public transportation!

The
Phoenix One received some extra TLC from Ray Savaria, the
Normandy Farms Campground Service Guru, while we zoomed
our way into Boston on Amtrak. A jewel of an Indian Summer
day provided the setting for our brief walkabout near South
Church in the Back Bay area. We toured an Internet convention
and then headed "home' back to Foxboro. Today we are
looking forward to wandering in the forest and enjoying
the exuberant fall colors.
