A Peaceful Afternoon in Andes, NY

A Peaceful Afternoon in Andes, NY

I arrived in Andes, NY for the second time in late August afternoon in search of a moment of clarity and peace that I got the last time I came here. For one, my phone says “No Service” here (and unlike some of my friends, this makes me happy). Plus there’s a cidery I always wanted to check out.
