This blog post is much delayed, because we've discovered AT&T signal is not strong in the areas we have been visiting (must be Verizon territory). Our trip to the New England States got off to a late start unexpectedly, but by putting in extra drive time in the first couple of days, we actually wound up almost a day ahead of plan, so had the opportunity to drop in on unsuspecting and very welcoming relatives in Basking Ridge, NJ (Liga's brother Uldis and his wife Wendy). On this visit they introduced us to
Duke Farms, Hillsborough, NJ, a wonderful place to visit on a lovely fall day (unusually warm though it was). We walked only a portion of the walking, biking, and hiking trails available which include a variety of building ruins and paths which were beautiful, but for me the highlight was the orchid conservatory, which contained a remarkable variety of orchids, only a few of which are shown below.

Wonderful old sycamores line this path
