This is the stuff nightmares are made of. Locals call it the cold spot, a place on the road where there's a drastic drop in temperature and a super thick mist.
Before you throw up your arms in disgust, hear me out.
There are several things that are staples in Central and Upstate New York - halfmoons, greens and tomato pie, hiking and camping the Adirondacks, cheering on the Orangemen, running the Boilermaker. Everyone rants and raves about it all; how great the food tastes or how fun the great outdoors is.
I just don t get it.
Oh, I ve tried these delicious dishes you are all salivating over. I ve experienced the fresh mountain air. I ve even tried running and never reached that runner s high athletes claim to have.
CNY Staples Everyone Loves I Just Don t Get
This isn t sleeping under the stars, this is sleeping among the stars. A special astronomy event is coming this summer in Kortright, NY, about an hour and a half from Utica.
A two-hour laser guided astronomy program is held in an open field far from any city or suburban lights. The sleeping part is optional, drive your vehicle into the field and pop up a tent and spend the night or just bring some chairs and watch the show, then leave when you want. There are even nearby hotels if you want to stay late and not drive home.
The program is presented by USA Astronomy.com and Astronomer, Mark Coppinger. They have been doing stellar events for ten years, including; stargazing boat and bus cruises, solar eclipse trips, and mountain top observatory trips.
