I think NYC should be its own country. Love the Adirondacks.
Adirondacks, Finger Lakes, Watkins Glen, The Katskaals, Niagara Falls, Thousand Islands....
New York is very, very diverse geology-wise.
I often miss the place, but never miss the politics!
I guess the only other added bonus is I don’t miss the black flies either!
