Storm King – End of Season

This is the latest we have even been to Storm King – literally on the last weekend of the season. The Art Center is beautiful year round, as colors and temperatures change vastly between seasons and make for very different experiences. The best thing about a late Fall visit: the switchgrass is completely dried up and makes for excellent spears, swords, magic wands, and the likes. The grass gets mowed and/or burned down each Spring, so taking a few stalks at the end of the season is not invasive. The weather was freakishly cold – just over 40°F and so windy that there were a few snowflakes zipping by between rare glimpses of sunlight. We were dressed for it though, and had a fantastic day with Team Gaang & Sahn.
