Part of the Northeast USA Tour Guide Books series
Paperback / softback
Description
BOOK LAYOUT:
Not everyone wants to see all the various categories of things offered and thus, the author has separated this book into chapters that should help a visitor find specific attractions. Example: If you are looking for vineyards, then Chapter # 18 is for you, but if you were looking for a place to RV, then Chapter # 15 would be the place. The TOC is your key to finding what you wish, and the Index will allow you to narrow your search to specific locations.
ADVERTISING:
There are many websites on the Internet that provide a look at all that the Hudson Valley has to offer, but most only have a few of the attractions, and these are the attractions that paid to be on each website, or are used as 'bait' to attract the viewer to other advertising.
This touring guide to the Hudson Valley may be the most complete guide you will ever find as it does NOT depend on advertisers, and contains no paid advertising.
AUTHOR'S GOAL:
The author's prime goal is to introduce you to the abundant opportunities to visit and learn about in one of the more exciting locations in our history, a history that dates back hundreds of years.
RECREATIONAL OPPERTUNITIES:
The touring guide also presents to the reader the dozens of outdoor recreational opportunities for skiing, hiking, swimming, boating, fishing, camping, and RV camping by providing names and addresses with GPS location of places to seek.
NAPA VALLEY EAST:
For those that like to party, the author includes the Hudson Valley vineyards and wineries that have become an east coast challenge to California's Napa Valley.
ADDRESSES & GPS:
Unlike many books that only provide a name or a name and address, this manual provides the name, address, and the GPS to use on mapping applications like GOOGLE MAPS(TM)
COUNTY & TOWN LISTING:
The Appendix has a listing of the counties and the towns that are in each so that if you want to search by a specific county, you can.
TIME:
The author provides a short description of each attraction and suggest the amount of time it will take to see that attraction; this valuable attribute will help you plan your day's trips so you have time to see what you want, time for restroom breaks, and time for meals.
AUTHOR'S VIEWS:

His parents lived there for decades until the 2010 period; he and his parents frequently visited the various historic, nature made, and man-made attractions.
