About an hour from New York
City, up into the Catskill Mountains, lies Orange County. It borders
New Jersey in the south, the Hudson River in the east, and touches the
Delaware River at Port Jervis. Orange County is bisected by Interstates
87 (the New York State Thruway) and 84 make it easy to get anywhere
in the northeast, and the Stewart International Airport in Newburgh
provides direct service to Chicago, Cincinnati, Washington, Atlanta,
Philadelphia, Raleigh-Durham, Syracuse, and Islip, Long Island.
