If I have properly identified your home location, you must have a delightful drive through the Adirondack Park on your way to Saratoga. Since you are approaching from the opposite direction, you just have to amend the famous Red Smith quotation when he said, "to get to Saratoga, you drive North for 175 miles, turn Left onto Union Avenue and go back 100 years."

One of the most wonderful places on earth. Patty and I visited Saratoga as often as we could even living in Texas. Wasn't cheap to get there but when we did, we felt like we had arrived in Heaven on Earth. The horses thundering around the track was then the music of Angels singing.
