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.

We've passed through Fly Creek dozens of times on our way to Cooperstown. This time we stopped and stayed awhile. With a population that hasn't changed much at all in 200 years, it doesn't take long to figure out the attraction of this quaint hamlet. Just spend 5 minutes at the General Store watching people come and go and you'll understand, I mean, the Atlantic Ocean begins here after all, doesn't it?

Our tour guide, Jim Atwell
Jim Atwell wrote the book on Fly Creek (actually a compilation of his weekly columns he's trying to pass off as a book!) His multi-award-winning newspaper column, "From Fly Creek," is a humorous glimpse at small-town living from the perspective of Fly Creek, his adopted community.
If you'd like to meet Jim, he'll be coming
by the General Store sometime soon
now, Violette is saving him a seat.
Fly Creek Grange No. 844 was built in 1899 and is now home to the Fly Creek Historical Society and Museum. Fly Creek's historic district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and includes 200 buildings, sites, and structures.

The Hamlet of Many Mills
At one time, Fly Creek had mills all along the banks of Oaks Creek and Fly Creek. Today there is one still in operation. The Fly Creek Cider Mill still presses cider the old fashioned way, using water pressure from the mill pond.
Fly Creek Cider Mill is open daily 9-6
This weekend: Dippity Do Da Days from 10-4

Portobello's Restaurant
One of the best views of the coming and goings of the General Store is from a window seat or sidewalk dining at Portbello's Restaurant. This family-run fine dining restaurant is open for dinner every evening of the year right at the busy intersection of Fly Creek.
