Where are we now? Right next to this sign.



Below is a panorama of the anchorage at Middle Ground near Athens. We saw deer and fox and lots of geese here. A truly beautiful place to linger. Click on the image to see it full screen.


The Cheaspeake is famous for lovely shore side homes. But we think that the Hudson has the best ones. Unfortunately, the best estates, owned by Rockerfeller, Roosevelt, Vanderbilt, Carnegie etc. have all allowed trees to grow in front of them. They can't be seen much from the river, nor do they have river views for themselves.

Some of the homes on the banks of the Hudson are ostentatious, some are modest. The collage below shows some of the prettiest. Click on it to see it full screen. Note the picture left, bottom -- look in the center and you'll see a child's playhouse -- just charming.
