Whaley Lake to Upstate NY
We left the cozy cottage around 8 AM for a lovely downhill ride towards Poughkeepsie. Today was our first day of rain which thankfully cleared up as we approached Acropolis Diner. Our two waitresses…
We left Larissa's at around 10 AM after grabbing breakfast at Annabelle's Village Bake Shop just across the street. We'd need the fuel for the monster mountains that faced us on NY-199 and US-44. Stops in Millerton, CT at the Four Brothers Pizza Inn and Harney & Sons Tea helped us as well. The work wasn't without reward; each uphill granted us a rollercoaster rush downhill.
We climbed about 2100 feet in just under 40 miles, earning a nice afternoon reading and sewing in the hammock at Locust Tree Bed & Breakfast. The property consisted of a hill leading up to a charming house overlooking lush greenery and some mountains in the distance.
