Driving Southwest to Central Bridge, New York

 Eric and I are relocating to Central Bridge, a hamlet in the Town of Schoharie.  Today's drive is about 80 miles, depending on the route taken.




A riding paddock with
"horse jumps" waits
for riders.




We drive south on




Leaving the highway at
Exit 12...





We follow signs at the top
 of the exit ramp to New






This exit of the Northway enters a roundabout.




A physically separated lane
allows traffic to move
smoothly onto New York

Eric, a retired New York State Department of Transportation Civil Engineer, tells me that a roadway with multiple roundabouts is called a "String of Pearls."

Central Bridge.




New York State Route 30 A
takes us over the
Cobleskill Creek....









And arrive at Hide-a-Way
Campsites.





We are settled in on a very
long campsite in an open
area of the campground.






This small campground, with 60 campsites, has water and 30 and 50 amp electric service.  Our DirecTV satellite dish picked up the TV satellites.  There's no need to stream the nightly news at Hide-a-Way Campsites.
