Oceans are one thing, and big ass rivers are quite another. Townspeople by the Hudson will tell you that the river is as fierce as you would expect a major artery to the Atlantic Ocean to be. Anyone whose driven along the Palisades State Parkway will tell you that the fog bank that rolls off it at night is like something out of a horror movie: thick, impassable, and almost tangibly powerful enough not to be cut through with a car. We've all had those nights when you simply follow the tail lights in front of you, hoping that car doesn't drive right off the road, and that's how we get through it.

There remain no lights to lead the way, because of it's Federal Park status. Some folks swear they "know" the road by heart, but any good pilot will tell you that the true test for them is flying solely by instruments, because looking out the window does you no good, and that's exactly how it feels. It's scary, surreal, and wild, and that's the way it goes with forces of nature: you're not in control. That's what makes great adventures. What adventures will you have?
