New York Quarries

Working on trailhead and kiosk markers for the new Empire State Trail. It is a multi use trail from the tip of Manhattan to the Canadian border, splits and goes to Buffalo as well. This has been an ongoing project for a few years. At some point life will continue as usual here in New York. We must remember the sacrifices being made daily in our own lives, and pray for those on the front lines of this pandemic! HOPE TO SEE YOU ON THE TRAIL SOON! #alcovelife
