Thanks guys. My thoughts are a fall foliage ride Start around Newburgh?Beacon up Taconic State Pkwy and Rte 22 to Hoosic Falls across Rte 7 to Bennington VT and Rte 9 to Wilmington and South on 122 to Mass Pike and break up there. Of course all this is very preliminary and early but gives an idea of interest and to see if its worth pursueing.
