I was surprised to hear that the Beatles’ Yellow Submarine (song) – Wikipedia was in Coney Island Creek, in the New York Harbor. Initially we drove out there to see the area and wildlife. I saw the Yellow Submarine on Google map and had to check it out. It is an old wreck that has nothing to do with the Beatles. It does have an interesting story. It was originally named Quester. Please read about the inventor and how it got there: Quester I – Wikipedia
We had planned to drive up to Bear Mountain. However, the road to the top was closed because rain was expected. So we stopped at Bear Mountain Bridge – Wikipedia instead. More information is on this site: Bear Mountain Bridge | History | Facts
Iona Island – NYSDEC is next to Doodletown, New York – Wikipedia on Route 9w in Rockalnd County. We planned to stop there but the road out to the island was flooded that day. You can read more about it here: Iona Island (New York) – Wikipedia.
On a drive up 9W we stopped briefly at Rockland Lake State Park in New York.
We paid for the privilege of seeing the magnificent view at Boscobel House and Gardens, Museum, Hudson Valley, NY. We didn’t do the house tour.
On the way to the Hudson River from Faunestock SP we passed by a farm. The rest are from Faunestock, The last image is of a wooden creature by a lake.
A few autumn leaf closeups from our day upstate New York.
We drove up to Fahnestock State Park – NYS in October. Faunestock is in Putnam County. Sunken Mine Road is in the park too. It was a gorgeous day for an outing. After exploring a few lakes and enjoying the countryside we ate an early dinner in Cold Spring. There is a beaver lodge in the last photograph.
