New York State - FOUR

 



The Stone Windmill - Circa 1825
Built by Hugh McConnell, miller from Scotia. Through the 1800's the structure served as a local jail & in WWII as an air warning post. After the war it served briefly as an American Legion Club House. The land was donated to the village by Charles Chapman in 1943 & 1947 was named Chapman Park.

Verona Beach Light House Association Inc.

while we were there, a man working, so that makes you happy to see folks keep the towns looking so pretty, now we were there right before Memorial Day, so maybe they were really beautifying the area??! I am amazed by New York State and their amazing workers, the cemeteries were so well taken care of, just thumbs up there!! WELL DONE!!




I am curious how old this train station was?? We just happened to notice it sitting back in the forest here, it could use some work, but still good bones, fun right??!

Tibbetts Point Lighthouse, Cape Vincent, NY
Wow, this lighthouse, no clue what kind of bugs were infecting the area but wow ...now they were not biting or stinging you ...but they were a real pain, flying into your face, bugging your nose or ears, it was a real windy day, and they were just covering all warm surfaces. It was wild to come back to your vehicle to see they had totally covered them. WILD TIMES!!!







Route 104A, right near the Post Office in Sterling, NY

"Bar U Ranch" , National Historic Site. Established in 1882, it was huge ranching operation  "even more info here." .  if you know anything about me, you will know I have always wanted to live on a farm, own a farm, have horses, cows, dogs, cats, garden, fields, quiet & peace the whole 9 or is it 10 yards. I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall" .  so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get

Bass Pro Shop, Memphis, Tennessee

Bass Pro Shop, "Memphis Pyramid", in Tennessee. We always enjoy visiting Brass Pro Shops around the USA. They are so always so creative, all different and interesting to see what they will be sharing. We are not fisher people. we just can appreciate the business. All sorts of games to play. Shopping. Lodging. Restaurants. In the brochure you can get at the front door this quote can be seen... "Ride the tallest freestanding elevator in America. Experience a ride to the top of the Pyramid in the 28-story glass elevator. Once you are at the top, stand on glass-floored observation decks that offer 360-degree views 300 feet above Memphis and the Mississippi River." (we didn't do this, it does cost extra doe to ride on up. but fun to see from the bottom looking up.) A must see if you are in the Memphis,TN. area. Thank you for stopping by. Enjoy your day!
