I was going to spend some time in upstate New York with friends from Canada. The plan was that I would take the Amtrak train from nearby Croton-Harmon station up to Saratoga Springs where we would be staying. Or so I thought. Things didn’t turn out quite as I expected, but more on that later. We would explore Saratoga Springs; visit the Saratoga Revolutionary War Battle Site; Take a look at one of my “bucket list” destinations: Fort Ticonderoga; and while in Ticonderoga take the Star Trek Original Series Set Tour.

My friends had kindly offered to drive me back home, so after all of the above we headed back to Westchester County where they would stay for a couple of days and take a look around Briarcliff Manor and other parts of the lower Hudson Valley.
