So the last couple of weeks..we have traveled vis postcard to ..

Galveston Island..beach picture and also a postcard with Hurricane Ike damage. Thank You Liz

Then we got an envelope full of New York State postcards..with the state of New York, animals, Mt Marcy and lake, Upper Saranac lake, Adirondack Mountains and Lakes, ..Honestly I have never thought of New York with so many mountains and lakes... I think most of hear New York and think..the city as that is what make the news most of the time. Thank You Cedar.

You are entirely welcome, I really enjoyed doing that. I'll also look for some Vermont ones as I'm only a few miles away from Vt. I just sent you a PM asking if you'd gotten them, as I hadn't read these posts yet. Glad you enjoyed them!

WELL NOW!!! Cedar just beat me to the punch (not hard to do!) and sent all the cards I had been collecting from the Saranac Lake shops! So, I will actually use my post cards to mail to people!

Upper NY State has the Adirondack Park which is larger than three of our National parks put together----can't remember which 3 of them, but know it's true. Our "Forever Wild" policy up here has been the bane of many locals who think they should have the right to develop the area as they choose, but I am so thankful for most of the regulatory rules as we have a beautiful, un-ruined wild place. My property, which is within the park, butts up to a completely wild section of the Park allowing no development, and is zoned for having a house for every 26 acres-----that means no company can come in here and put up tons of houses on acre lots. That was the plan of the original owner of this property, but it was shot down when the Adirondack Park Agency came into being! We lucked out when the owner ran and lowered the cost of our 400 acres with a brand new house which was to have been the demo for the development.

Well..I did add that to our bucket list of places to visit...it won't be until DH retires..it is too hard to get that far over on 2 week vacation time.
