After having to shovel out cars for the past three days, it would be pretty friendly to have taken us to the beach...

Where do you live in upstate NY?

[Yates]

Albany.

[Tommyrod]

Albany.

Gross. I pass through there to see my family. Concrete and depression. :P

Well, I say "Albany" because that's where I work but I'm really in Saratoga. That said; there's a lake and a 3,200 acre nature preserve practically across the street from work. Granted; you have to cross a highway, go under an overpass, and brave 2 roundabouts to get to them but they are THERE! But yeah. If all you see is Albany from 787, it's not very impressive. And that's a problem. The kind of problem you have when you are the oldest continuously chartered city in the country. Our rivers were used for industry and as a super highway back when the Erie canal was THE way to transport goods between the interior of the country and the East coast. Not that I've spent HOURS tooling around on my boat in the Hudson and Mohawk rivers wondering why our river fronts aren't way more awesome than they are...  

 

But hey.  At least it isn't Jersey!

[Tommyrod]

I've lived upstate. It's provincial and dull in 99% of locations. Sad times.

LOL.  Well, "upstate" means a lot.  And any place is what you make of it.  If you are an Urbanite, the Adirondacks probably aren't the place for you.  But if you are an outdoors man?  It's pretty epic.  Likewise, the tug hill plateau can be "dull" if you aren't into some ridiculous snowmobile and ATV trails...  Like, I'm not going to crap on NYC because I have a ton of friends there, but I can only handle that pace for a long weekend.  Then the crowds and smells and consumerism start to make me feel walled in and claustrophobic.  To each their own.

[Tommyrod]

Yeah I live in NYC and it's too far in the opposite direction, I can't win

[Turin Turambar]

That's a bit of a commute Saratoga to Albany. 

 

I was up in Saratoga in 1986 when I was training at the navy nuclear prototype there. It was small town then and I guess it still is. Pretty woodland.

[Yates]

40 minutes - with traffic. I can do it in 25 to 30 minutes at night. That's my plan for when my wife goes in to labor, anyway!

GTFO! I am very familiar with KAPL. Like... VERY. Did you ever make it in to Downtown Saratoga Springs? Or to the track?

[Turin Turambar]

Went to the track once or twice but only while they were doing harness races. It was fun. Not quite Santa Anita but alright. That area was crazy during the big meeting for the Travers?? I think that was august. We thought about renting out our house for the month and staying with other guys for the month but decided not to. Subletting wasn't in our lease.

 

We would go into town ( I guess that includes downtown) when schedules permitted. I was young then so was the designated driver. It was all good tho. I was there for nearly an entire year because I went thru the standard training and then stayed and did ELT also. I had my week leave in between and when I came back my car was under a foot of snow, in early October. The snow stayed until I left in February.

Ah the good old days before global warming...  

 

We haven't had snow like that since I moved up here in the mid 90's.

 

And yes, Travers Day is a MAD HOUSE. It's hilarious to see the Lamborghinis and Ferraris parked in the mud next to Ford F350's!

my best friend grew up in ballston spa and we hung out in Saratoga springs on school breaks. it's a lovely place. a little too sandy to garden easily but still.
