New York City North / Newburgh KOA
Today we went to New York City. The KOA is in Plattekill, NY which is about an hour and half north west of New York City. We drove to Beacon, NY (about 11 miles from the campground) and took the MTA North Train to Grand Central Station. It took about one and half hours. From there we decided to walk to the 9/11 Memorial. We had a reservation to get in at 1 p.m. We arrived in Grand Central Station around 10:30.

The tree Kathy is standing by is the only tree that survived the 9/11 destruction!
After the Memorial we took a trip on the Staten Island Ferry and saw the Statue of Liberty. The ferry ride is about 25 minutes each way.
After the long walk in the morning we decided to take the subway back. Its subway 5 green from the financial district to get you back to Grand Central Station and it takes about 15 minutes. We got back to Grand Central around 3:45 and found the train back to Beacon was leaving at 4:10.
