NORTH OF SEVEY CORNERS

Greetings from Colton, NY and the
ROOFTOP OF NEW YORK STATE
aka "The North Country"

 

For the uninformed,
99.9% of 
New York State is
NOT New York City.

Huh?       Wherezat?
North of Lake Placid, between Lake Ontario and Lake Champlain.
It's a long way from New London and the ocean. 
But ya know what?      It's reeeal quiet up here.    I like it.
