OK--Asgaard coords are 44 25.528N; 073 40.109W

Although not on a direct route from NYC to Maine, you would be hard pressed to surpass the beauty (sublime) of the Adirondacks. Two spots come to mind-1) the view from Asgaard, the farm owned by the late artist Rockwell Kent, is amazing, particularly on a sunny morning with the light hitting the mountians in front of you and at sunset with the mountains in stark relief; 2) the castle at the top of Whiteface Mt which was built in the 1930s and the views from same. Both of these require no hiking, driving can do it, although plenty of opportunities exist if you so desire! Coordinates for Whiteface are: 44 21.952 N; 073 54.188 W. I will get back to you with Asgaard's.

You menion you're not getting much feedback from the North Country--we're up here in Plattsburgh, which is about as far north in NY as you can get, and we'd be very enthusiastic about a local group . Give me more info on what you're looking for, perhaps we can work this into something. CMondon@aol.com (Tom-n-Cat) Tom and Cath
