A Week End Auto Run

F A Week End Auto Run +
************.ssss** $50
A weekend auto tour from Pail
sade may be made into an outing
worth while. Within half days
journey are as many points of inter-
est as one could wish to visit and in
vestigate, two days at clip. Any
Saturday around the noon hour, GO
ing at leisurely gait, one may find
within hundred mile radius from
Palisade enough of excitement and
general interest to satisfy the most
exacting demands.
Leaving Palisade Saturday
Naming the noon hour of starting
is of no consequences later hour is
just as satisfactory. On Saturday
last our party left town at 2.45 o. m.
and rolled along out through Hacken-
sack to Arcola, that beauty spot for
all tourists, where the never ending
old-mill wheel turns, and which has
been photographed more times than
anything in Bergen county. Here one
invariably finds party or more in
specting the beautiful grounds, or
stopping to get snap of the pic
turesque waterfall and the lowered
mill-that isn't mill at all, but
just an imitation affair to lend added
charm to the landscape.
Taking the Franklin turnpike to
the right at Arcola, the few miles to
Hnh ic do IN,
time, as one prefers. Of an after
noon the traffic is not heavy, and the
smooth surface invites bit of spirit
to ones driving, if one prefers. Or,
slower gait gives opportunity for a
closer inspection of the many beauti-
full farms and homes along the route.
Through Hohokus to the famous AL
lendale pike, than which no driveway
is more beautiful anywhere, the first
hour finds us in Suffern at the foot
hills of the Ramapo mountains. We
have passed by the well-advertised
chicken and waffle place en- route, run
by thrifty colored man, by the way,
where long waits and ample prices,
albiet good fare, are served, with
typical slow-motioned colored help.
In the evenings this waffle eating
spot is quite gay, / am told, with
colored band and singing.
Society's Outing Spot
Passing that American wonder
spot, Tuxedo Park, one is tempted to
ask permission for a drive within its
private and secluded portals, only
one must first seek permission by post,
and generally one is accommodated,
if ones references are proper.
Tuxedo is one of the most beautiful
parks in the whole world. Money has
made it dream, and nature made it
cherished spot for lavishing her
most precious charms. We had mo-
tored through its enhancing, wind
ing roadways once on an autumn day,
when it's richness of color scheme was
positively enchanting. Tuxedo is, OF
course, the home Of great wealth, and
is therefore rightfully exclusive. The
costly homes set among it's hills are
of wonderful beauty, and there was
nothing left to be desired when its
lakes and hills were selected for fash
ions paradise.
In the Land of Goshen
The roadway from Palisade has
been letter perfect all the way. Leav-
ing Tuxedo, and journeying north
west again to the fork of the roads
that lead to Goshen and Newberg,
we bear to the left, and for the first
few hundred feet there is a rough
spot of road, but it soon ends, and the
route to Goshen is dream. Here in
this famous country of hills and homes
and farms, the dairy business has
thrived for more than hundred
years. The home of ante-bellum
"Gosher BUTTER" more precious than
gold in war times, and as rich In
color, this whole section of Orange
county, N. Y, is wonderland where
prosperity has set its seal, and hap
piness and contentment appear to
dwell together in joy and peace. So
far as creature comforts are con-
cerned, and general productivity, old
Goshen has set the world a pace.
We saw great herds of Alderny
cows, big, menacing bulls, beautiful,
peaceful, innocent iocks of sheep,
browsing on the hills, under isolated
oaks, or else fording into the many
little streams that thread the land
scape. Goshen county history is
famous, made so by thrifty folks and
cows. The villages are typical of a
satisfied, prosperous people, and at
the town of Goshen, bit over fifty
miles from Palisade, is the Goshen
Inn, justly celebrated as an adorner
of the interior man with the choicest
viands the grand old county affords.
Joy of a Good Inn
Arriving at Middletown, the center
of prosperous Goshen county, our
party is in time for tea at the
Mitchell Inn, where such meal is
served that one marvels at it's su-
perior quality and is surprised at its
modest cost. Mine Host Mitchell has
made his inn famed, and no wonder.
Here the traveller finds all the COM
forts of the home, enticing, cheerful
surroundings, and cordial greetings,
with a service so altogether polite
and agreeable that the contrast is at
