We went on a filed trip with the Sierra Photo NYC – New York City Sierra Club Photography Committee to the New York Botanical Garden (nybg.org) on November 11, 2023. I have over 300 photographs and of those I selected about 45 to show. Marc contributed some too. The first two are by Marc.

I had a hard time finding decent restaurants in the Poconos until a fellow traveler recommended Skytop Lodge | Poconos Resort | Skytop, PA. We dined at the Windsor. It was the best meal of the trip. I enjoyed exploring the fancy building and grounds.

The Kutztown countryside with covered bridges and red barns is idyllic. “Like most of Berks County, Kutztown was settled predominantly by Germans, most of whom came from the Palatinate region of southwest Germany, which borders the Rhine river.” (Kutztown, Pennsylvania – Wikipedia.) We drove through Greenwich, Pennsylvania too.
