2021 Thanksgiving NYC

Post by abscate »

First time making the trip through the heart of NYC , going through the realm of Kings and Queens

Caitlin and I met up in Mass I drove down Route 8 together. I was an idiot and almost ran out of gas. Put 58 liters into the 60 liter ManBeetle

Started out with early morning walks of dogs in Port Jeff since they will be crated all day

I’ve never seen anyone even nearby; the nearest house is about 1 kilometer away.
