“We are in our sixth day of our trip. We started out on bike trails into Croton, NY. We enjoyed camping and watching a 360 degree view of fireworks!. Our second day was brutal, because of the heat and hills. However, we finally made it to Snow Valley Campground, where we told ghost stories and ate cake. Our third day was very easy riding. It was mostly down hill. We stopped at FDR's house in the afternoon, and then continued on to our campground. That night, we had a water balloon toss and ate S'mores around a campfire while playing cards. We were sad to lose Daniel and Jacob from the trip. However, excited to continue on with the trip.
Our fourth day, we did a lot of riding. We decided to do more riding and then phantom camp. We stopped in the town of Hudson for pizza and found a place in the woods to camp. Yesterday, we made extremely good time, except for some bike problems and wrong turns. When we found our hotel, we decided to have a movie night with popcorn, taquitos, and Harry Potter! Our sleep was very nice. Today we are touring Albany. We stopped at a bike shop to drop off our bikes and are walking the city. We stopped at the Egg, the Capitol Building, and the NY State Museum. We will have lunch and shop on Lark Street, and then head back to our hotel pool ! :-)” – Abbey Ulman, Teen Trekker with contributions from all of the teens on the trip!
