New York State Thruway

The Mainline of the Empire State

A double ribbon of concrete widening gracefully through the mountains, making it possible to drive from New York City to Buffalo without any traffic lights.

Dear Gloria & Dick

The next time you have a honeymoon, you'll have to take this trip. It is most beautiful country. We are on the last lap to Boston and Cape Cod. We hope to come back through the Adirondacks and see Lake Placid. We were going to go to New York, but the people around Albany where we stayed last night said the traffic is terrific and you couldn't possibly see it all in one week. So we are taking it slower and enjoying it rather than trying to see New York, this time.

Love Dot, Dan and Mike

 

Since the photo could be anywhere on the NY Thruway, here's a picture of where the postcard was sent to:
