No kidding! That's right in my backyard. I live in Kingston, and my brother lives in New Paltz. I'll be in Poughkeepsie tomorrow for my job and used to work in Highland often as well.
That road is a blast for sure! Radar detector mandatory lol
I lived in NYC for 19 years and was sad to learn the FDR drive and west side highway were built against much opposition because the city planners originally wanted to have public access shore around Manhattan. Having driven the Lucid on both sides of that hellscape drive, yeah Robert Moses needs a trout slap. The Taconic is fun as hell though, not many places for the cops to hide but when they do you can’t ever see them, so yeah, as mentioned above my little Uniden saved me $$&. But the Hutchinson River Parkway…white knuckle terror non-stop. Upstate has some nice drives, going from Ithica to Cazenovia is fun…unless it’s snowing heavily. But once again the Lucid handled all of those situations like it was nothing.
