Ferncliff Forest and The VPo Man

VPo in the Hudson Valley!

Today he'd have to settle for a bit less.  We took a nice little stroll to the fire tower to watch the sunset.  The VPo man pointed out how the northeast doesn't provide the best sunsets.  I'd have to agree.  Some of the best I've seen were out west, although I have seen a few sunrises in the past year on my way to work that were extraordinary.  Tonight's sunset was great.  The sun setting over the Catskills and hanging out with an old, great friend cannot be beat.
