West Point April 13, 2013

     Ten of us met at the commisary-once I found it [we came from Orange County over Bear Mt and, much as I hate to admit it, I'm directionally challenged.]  We then drove down to the area near the new library and Carol D led us down along the river.
     The day was supposed to be partly cloudy but we had only a brief glimpse of blue sky.  Nevertheless, we all agreed it was a great walk.  It was a nice trail that had many historical "markers" and it was interesting to view them all.  We finished on flirtation walk where we observed a portion of the change of command ceremony for the West Point National Guard unit.
      Five of us dined at the Alexis Diner in Newburgh.

I think Carol said this is the new library
