Driving back on US 20 on Guilderland got me thinking how different Guilderland is compared to the more westerly parts of the Western Turnpike … 🚗

It really isn’t that many miles to the west before you leave the suburban businesses and four lanes of traffic — mostly beyond Carmen Road and get out into open farm country. 🚜 It’s really beautiful, working land, not so perfect like suburbia — full of smells and dirt — old houses and falling apart machinery. I really enjoyed my trip out to Madison County last weekend, and hope to get back out that way later this winter or spring.
