My Shade-Tree Mechanic

I'm in love with a Grease Monkey! Not because smelling gas fumes all day is the bomb or free oil changes every 3000 miles helps too or that blue Carhartt Overalls is the sexiest thing going...my Grease Monkey is 'Super Unleaded' because he shows me historical places to hike right here in my own backyard. Check out the picts of this beautiful area just minutes from my home. The top shot is the Whipple Cast & Wrought Iron Bowstring Truss Bridge built in 1867. It's one of the only remaining bridges out of over 100 that was built for the Erie Canal and still in service. The bridge crosses a gully and was placed on the National Registry of Historic Places in 1971. The second shot is the Normanskill Farm established in 1630 by an early Dutch settler called "the Norman". The path runs alongside a deep blue river that feeds into the Hudson River. There's even the remains of an old saw mill and ice house, both from the 1800's and an organic garden that used to be known as the Normans Kill Dairy Farm in 1900. Go ahead and ask your Shade-Tree Mechanic what his favorite walk-in-the-woods is...and if he's not too busy fixing your flat bring him along.
