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.
A short walk on a long abandoned pier now used for recreation. Lamont Dohrety has a Hudson River Field Station | Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at the end of the pier. Here’s some history about Piermont, New York – Wikipedia. I made a collage out of the many fish things on the poles.
Nyack, in Rockaland County New York, overlooks the Governor Mario Cuomo bridge, that used to be called the Tappan Zee Bridge. The bridge is in the background of the middle picrture.
Back in 2012 when I was still working for AECOM, doing GIS and graphics for the environmental division, we worked on the environmental impact statements for the new bridge. I did GIS mapping, designed the website, covers of the reports, illustrations, and diagrams in the reports for the archaeology and environmental departments. These environmental impact statements covered the Hudson River by the bridge, the towns of Nyack on the west bank, and Tarrytown in Westchester on the east bank.
