Battenkill orange (and a long story)
I was lucky enough with help from Mr. Pitarys to do a day on the Battenkill with Mr. Twombly in the passenger seat. It was a wild 60 hours or so that began in Rutland, VT the previous dawn. After VTR did annoying VTR shit under persistent cloud cover I went southward to Moodna Viaduct via the Kingston-Rhinecliff bridge, stopping in Kingston where I took my previously posted photo of a boxcar with the LV flag logo on it. After Kingston was Moodna for the previously posted sunset silhouette shot then to Montgomery for dinner with Dad. We're just beginning....
So now we're about 15 hours deep into a day when I had slept in my truck the night before. Still running hard I jumped the Hudson River again at the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge and set sail northward up the Taconic Parkway aiming for the Anytime Fitness in Bennington, VT. After a lift and a shower I went over to Eagle Bridge and slept in the truck in a heavy fog.
The morning dawned foggy and cleared into beautiful blue sky as Mr. Twombly arrived and the Battenkill began work. We followed the guys all day, bagging this bucket list shot south of Shushan and meeting Glen Perry. The BK finished up, Adam headed home for Connecticut and I aimed towards Troy, NY to meet up with William Gill. After some beer n' bullshit I jumped the Hudson once again at the Troy-Menands Bridge and pointed towards Dave Magill's place for a dime tour and some magazine article prep as well as an unexpected dinner (thanks Marilyn).
I still wasn't done.
Back on the road well after dark heading south for Mom's about 40 minutes west of Port Jervis and an actual bed for the first time in 5 nights, just to set the alarm to go shoot 2102 at Tamaqua Tunnel the next morning.
Ahhhh, vacation.
