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.
