Onwards to The Berkshires where the event is being held

We weren't too keen on the city of Albany, NY when we set off this morning towards the city downtown area and down to the river Hudson.  However, we did some cool virtual caches with lovely some lovely monument caches as you can see from the photos.

 Some random bloke.  Don't know who the guy with the dog is either!

 SUNY - State University of New York

This is just the admin block!

When we got down to the river the building (see photo) reminded me of Aberdeen university.  It also being made of granite and a similar architecture, very pretty.

Looking back at SUNY over the Interstate after crossing the Bridge of Remembrance.

The Hudson river is at our backs.

Caching then took us to a swimming hole, the water was cool and clean and quite deep.

 The highlight of most caching expeditions for Lindsey

 Next was a conservation area but the caches were a struggle so we returned to the car and a shady spot for lunch.  Cached our way into the Berkshires, MA and the Inn of the same name which is our base for the next 3 days. Checked into the motel, jumped in their pool, showered and off to the cache meet for hot dogs (steve only).  Thought it was going to be awful but it turned into good fun.  Cachers are such geeks but very nice and friendly.

One of Lindsey's new best mates at the event.  His name is Signal.

Of course we are a bit special having come so far, many have NZ on their bucket list and a few have already been.  It is a little cooler now, this evening (8:30), we came home, jumped in the pool again, Steve went to buy some beer and we are now sitting on the bed using the WiFi and watching the double climb in the Tour.
