• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Walkway Over the Hudson
When completed in 1888, the 6,767-foot long Poughkeepsie-Highland Railroad Bridge stood alone as the longest bridge in the world. Its tracks were destroyed by fire in 1974. In 2009, Walkway Over the Hudson re-opened as the world's largest pedestrian bridge, connecting Rail Trails in Dutchess and Ulster Counties and began attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors.

No credit for this one. Even though it has historical significance it's still a normal bridge despite its conversion from railroad to pedestrian.

+At 48k, I dropped the bike off at Dutchess Rec for service Thursday evening (the rain was actually bearable) and picked it up this afternoon.

Not enjoying your Spyder like you used to? Has the quality time diminished during a winter downtime? Perhaps you need a Whee Alignment to bring back the fun factor... 8^D

25. At the highest point in your state/county (25 points)
Did I tell its pretty darn flat around here?

31. At a sign with the word "Gap" on it. (50 points)
 
I hear what your saying Irish.

Harris County is pretty flat. It goes from sea level upward as it goes north to Montgomery County. We had to research flood plain maps to find the elevations. In that particular photo, the boundary between Harris County and Montgomery County is Willow Creek. There were no signs of the name of the Creek or the County boundaries.

Will get a better marked photo and include a flood plain map for proof of elevation.
