Mystery Point – A walk along the river
The narrow, rocky trail high above the river offers some spectacular Hudson views. Here the river with Sugarloaf Hill in the background.
According to Wikipedia:
Sugarloaf Hill is a peak along the Hudson River in Putnam County, New York, part of the Hudson Highlands. It was named by the Dutch for its resemblance in outline to a sugarloaf when sailing up the river towards it. Sugarloaf Hill is in fact a ridge, running northeast and southwest, close to the east shore of the Hudson. The peak of Castle Rock lies off the northeast end of the ridge, while NY 9D runs along the west side. A small stream runs along the southeast side and flows into the Hudson, while to the northwest, the ground declines gently to the Hudson. The hill is about 760 feet (230 m) high at its summit, towards the middle of the ridge. A red-blazed trail climbs its western side, and then runs along the ridge, across the summit, to end at a viewpoint over the Hudson of about 700 feet (210 m) elevation.
…
Beverley, the house of Col. Beverley Robinson, was built at the foot of the peak in 1758. Robinson, a Tory, lost his house and estates there to confiscation in 1777. It was used as a headquarters by several American generals during the Revolution, and Benedict Arnold chose to dwell there when he took command of West Point in 1780. It was at Beverley that Arnold learned of the capture of John André and the failure of his treason, and fled thence to HMS Vulture.
Beverley later passed into the hands of Hamilton Fish, and was destroyed by a fire in 1892. The hill was donated by the Osborn family to the Taconic State Park Commission in 1974, and now forms part of the Osborn Preserve of Hudson Highlands State Park
Book of Mormon
A couple of weeks ago we went into New York City for a meal and a show to celebrate my wife’s birthday.
For the meal we went to “The View“, which I believe is the only revolving restaurant in the city. It’s 47 floors up in the Marriott Marquis hotel and takes about one hour to complete a full revolution.
For the show we finally managed to get tickets to “The Book of Mormon”. It was a very well done show, but somehow it didn’t fully engage me – I’m not entirely sure why.
As were were walking up Broadway I noticed these brightly colored signs around the intersection with 47th street. One of them was for “The Book of Mormon” (although it’s not located at the theater itself – that’s a few blocks away). Although they’re not the huge, bright signs you find around 42nd street I felt that they still summed up the feel of “The Great White Way”, perhaps in a more subdued way.
