A New Hike, Bike, and Ski Trail
in Old Forge
There's a new trail that takes you from the village of Old Forge (trail head just behind the school) to the McCauley Mountain Ski Area. This trail is for hiking, biking and cross country skiing. It takes you along an old tow path used by downhill skiers in the 1930s & 40s, before the McCauley Mountain was established. You can see some old downhill ski equipment along your hike, like an old truck that was retrofitting with a shive to tow skier up the hill so they could ski back into town. Die-hard skier would hike beyond the tow hill to McCauley, carrying their skis on their backs.

When we heard that Fred Castronovo was retiring, we thought we would talk with him and look back over his career as a businessman in East Utica. Owner of Castronovo's Original  Grimaldi's Restaurant, Fred's first love is cars. The famous Utica Flash dragster is still a popular discussion, not only in Utica, but also with classic race car enthusiasts online.

When Fred says he's retiring, he's serious -everything's for sale. So if you'd like to be a restauranteur, body shop owner, or driver of a classic Barracuda or Buick, give him a call.

Visit Sharon Springs
It's hard to believe how long it's been since our last tour of "F.I.M. Country" (the Frankfort, Ilion, Mohawk area). We've had many requests that we return. We discovered a new farm, Brick House Acres, and visit some places we missed on our last visit. We have a lot of hamlets and villages to visit this summer we have yet to feature, but it's always nice to return to places we've been.

Brick House Acres
The young Davis family is growing plants in their greenhouses and berries in the fields. Their plants are grown naturally, utilizing weed geese to do much of the weeding of the berry fields. If you can, stop by and watch them at work. The strawberries are almost ready and their greenhouses are filled with unusual arranged baskets as well as herbs and vegetables.

Frankfort-Highland Airport
Although it's a small airport with just one narrow strip, the Frankfort-Highland Airport sees its share of visitors thanks to its location high above the valley and proximity to towns and villages not near any other airports.
