It is cooler and the trees are just starting to turn. The Hudson River valley is the home of this country's first Rich and Famous. The Vanderbilts, Rockefellers, and dozens more built some small, get out of the city, country homes in this valley. Right. So did our military. West Point is spectacular and it occupies perhaps the prettiest stretch of the river as it cuts through Bear Mountain. We could not see the cadets marching across the plaza today, but the place was buzzing with activity.

Here was a secluded place that the cadets sneak down to the river to swim. Someone cut these steps into the rock a long time ago.

It is fall in New York. I understand that it is still in the high 90's in Texas, so this feels good.
