New York-Montreal (NYM A5) is Making Their Way to Albany!


The group checked out the Franklin D Roosevelt house in Hoyt Park, New York.  Everyone got an interesting history lesson while touring FDR's favorite home and the expansive gardens, which are sprinkled with statues and resting areas.  
Yesterday, the Trekkers had a long day of biking, with a riverside lunch and swimming.  They biked along pretty farms, up some hills and got plenty of ice cream in return for their hard work.  The group spent last night staying at an estuary preserve that was full of bloomed flowers. Everyone relaxed, check out the flowers and swam in the Hudson during the evening.  The worst part of the day was that a few spoons broke in the ice cream.  Some suspect that a conspiracy is in play.
The group is in Albany today, and everyone is excited for the hotel and pool.  Kyle, one of the Leaders, is attending grad school in Albany, and has a few interesting spots to show the group.
After biking over this river, the Trekkers decided to check it out.
It turned out to be the perfect spot for lunch and a cool down.
Everyone was excited for wild grapes!
