Drove the road below the cliffs today. Started at the Alpine entrance, traveled south in the X. Did not even get 1/4 mi. and turned around. Road was horrible with huge potholes, narrow and cyclists. Could not go fast. Went home, got SUV and back on the trail. Drove the entire length to below the GW Bridge. Great road, beautiful scenic under GW, etc. Not for our cars though, too many fallen rocks from the cliffs, too many holes. The best route will be to go north from the bridge on the parkway PIP and exit at Alpine. Then 9w north to Tallman state park entrance, cut through and down into Piermont. Plenty of parking down near town and some safe lots for the X’s.
Bastille Day will begin at 12 Noon, Saturday, July 11 and we can stay as long as we like or drive some more or even up to Bear Mtn. Lunch could be nice with samplings of French Cuisine in the streets. Nice Hudson river views there and even canoe rentals! Anyone ever play Petanque au boule competition in Bryant Park behind the NYC library? They will have Petanque, as well, on Sat. in Piermont.
