There Is More To This State Than Just New York City

I've found that most people think the state of New York stops once you cross the Hudson River well not so Buck-O!

This is a great state for the adventurous thrill seeker, culture hound, and sports fan,  remember Cooperstown is the HOME OF BASEBALL and the Baseball Hall Of Fame. Here are some ideas to help you enjoy the land simply called UPSTATE.

1. Ride a Bobsled over the Olympic course in Lake Placid. You'll have a lot more respect for the men and women that do that sport in the Olympics.
