ROAD TRIP! VT!

This is a poor mans post. Meaning we hiested most to all the content and copy from other blogs. Go here and here, to see and read more of what we got up to this past weekend. thanks for the photos and adventures Ty and Kenz!

We had a rad Labor Day weekend. We had a rough plan to head north to Southern Vermont for camping and swimming. On our way, we made a serendipitous stop in Saugerties, NY, where we met Rae Stang, the owner of a chocolate shop. When we told her we didn't have a place to stay, she offered to put us up for the night if we'd help clean up the shop and then help her set up her farmers market booth the following morning. Rae had a beautiful old truck and an amazing apartment above the chocolate shop, full of awesome modern design (see below). Despite Rae's hospitality and invites to stay another day, we moved on to Vermont, where we had scoped out some fantastic swimming and cliff jumping spots. In the pics below, we're cliff jumping at one of the oldest marble quarries in the U.S. It has since filled with water and makes for the raddest cliff jumping site I've ever seen. We did a little apple picking and Cardon did some bouldering to round out the weekend.

FORT TILDEN, FAR ROCKAWAY QUEENS

Fort Tilden today is largely a natural area of beach, dunes and maritime forest. Most of the old military installations are abandoned, though some buildings have been renovated and are used by local arts groups. Atop one of the old batteries, Battery Harris East, is a viewing platform offering 360-degree views that encompass the city, New York Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. We feel this is the best (free) beach around. You will see jetty after jetty. Pick your spot, and enjoy the solitude. No whistles from over zealous life guards, no screaming, only serenity... oh and one topless mom. You decide if that is a positive or negative.
