Some of the towns in the area didn't serve any logistical purpose, but just provided a destination to get something different to eat or drink.
Woodstock - This is a town still stuck in the sixties but that's the way they like it. Their marketing is still playing off the nostalgia of the 1969 concert that bears the same name but actually took place many miles away in Bethel, NY. Left over hippies still walk the streets and head shops and psychedelic 
clothing can be found all through town. Sandy and I ate lunch here on her first day in the mountains before the floods hit. We didn't shop, the "it's 4:20" theme plays out quickly for me.

Saugerties - A historic Hudson River town with a vibrant down-town filled 
with antique shops, restaurants and a couple of bars. One bar in particular, the Exchange Hotel Bar and Grill, fit the bill while my son and his friends were up there just because it was one of those places that had the same people sitting on the same bar stool they were twenty years ago, only older and heavier. Draft beers are only $1.50 a mug and the place is dark and old. Very NY and just the way I like it.
