Anyone from upstate NY??

I grew up in Ulster County but moved south many years ago. Seemed to me, there was "the city," and then there was "upstate."

I only remember Stirling Forest from my time stationed at West Point.

Bingo, that's right where I am from! The beautiful Hudson River Valley.

Yes, that's the way I saw it as well. I still explain it that way.

Every so often I'll run into someone from "up" upstate (Buffalo, Syracuse, Lake Placid, etc) and they are quick to correct me. New Yorker's are a shy bunch.

Yes, but tell someone from Georgia that you're from New York and they immediately think you're from Manhatten. I actually grew up in Saugerties. Great place, just have no reason to go back anymore.

I lived in the Hudson River Valley for a time...lived in the Mohawk Valley as well...

I think Westchester County (where I currently live) is technically the Hudson River Valley also. or is it just parts of Westchester that are?

I also frequent Sterling Forest in Tuxedo, NY every summer. ;)
