Along Twin Arch Rd in Washingtonville, New York sits an interesting railroad bridge that spans a waterway and a roadway with a twin arch. Discovering it, led to other discoveries worth going back for.
Sometimes a sign just speaks to you and you have to go in for a closer look. When we doubled back to grab a quick photo of the Roseland Ranch sign, I found it sad to see that the resort that was attached to such a great sign was in a very sorry state of disrepair.
On a day ride Fuzzygalore and Crudmop visited two New York State Mail Pouch Tobacco barns. One located in Orange County, the other in Dutchess County.
It’s still cold, icy and salty out on my little patch of island. So, after breakfast today we headed out to watch the ice boats that run on the bay. I’d never seen them...
Harriman State Park – Nestled on a small parcel of land inside the park on a turnoff that is easy to miss when you’re zipping by on the bike, sits St. John’s in the Wilderness.
Kenny and I used to ride by this curious buggy now and again. Sadly the mystery mobile is no longer parked at the bar near the old Kings Park Pyschiatric building. I snapped these back in 2004 and just happened to find them on my photo drive tonight. I thought they were too good not to share~

I thought for sure I’d find Roscoe P. Coltrane on the other side of the sign. He must’ve been chasing after those crazy Duke boys again.
I bet there is some very serious, historical and lofty explanation for the name of this street in Sayville, New York. It’s probably best that I don’t look up the origin so I don’t...
On Saturday we took a ride up to Dia: Beacon in Beacon, NY. One of the pieces in their collection really did a number on me. I was particular affected by Louise Bourgeois’ Crouching Spider....
On Saturday we took a ride out to Coney Island. It was unusually warm, in the 50’s and it just seemed like the perfect opportunity to see this place that has been eating away...
Each bike has a secret life, rich with memories that the passer by knows nothing of. When we were walking down the street in NYC a few weeks ago, we cruised passed this old BSA that was parked on the street.
Along Palmer Avenue in Mamaroneck, NY sits a pagoda that has been servin’ up split hotdogs since 1928. Walter’s Hotdogs has been in business since 1919, so they must be doing something right. We...
