Heading up New York 2 past Dyken Pond Road and the Brunswick Sportsmen Club. Never been to the Dyken Pond Preserve, I should explore that some day.

Taconic Mountains gracefully rise from the landscape on this late March afternoon.

Quiet afternoon heading through Posten Kill in late March.

It was very quiet heading through much of Western Massachussets, with empty roads lacking traffic dominating the trip past second homes in this mostly gentrified rural area.
