A Visit to the Rockefeller Preserve – Horse Riders

I often see horses at the preserve. Harley doesn’t seem to know what to make of them. He doesn’t usually bark at them the way he does with deer. Maybe he’s just overwhelmed.

From time to time I also see horse drawn carriages. This isn’t too surprising as many of these trails were originally carriage trails owned and used by the Rockefeller family before they donated the land to the state.

Lunch at Buttermilk Falls Inn and Spa

Back in September we went for lunch on the other side of the River Hudson at Buttermilk Inn and Spa in nearby Milton, NY. Above, Henry’s restaurant where we had a very pleasant brunch.
