You know, a lot of people complain that people from big cities can’t get escape the cities and get to a location where they can think, be in peace, fish, photograph, hike, kayak, eat great food because they’re in a city. I seek to prove New York City resident WRONG in their own state!

Dear Amtrak,
I live in a big city (NYC) but I want to visit the woods. For wandering and such. I do not have a car, can Amtrak get me there? Are there any national parks or state parks or such things accessible by Amtrak?
Thanks, Ole.
While the most famous park accessible by transit is probably Glacier National Park on the Empire Builder, there are some closer to NYC that are accessible.
Notably Lake Champlain and a good portion of the Adirondacks are accessible by both the Adirondacks line and the Ethan Allen Express.
The Delaware Water Gap is harder to access but The Main and Bergen Line from NJTransit can take you from Hoboken to Suffern where you can transfer to the Metro North Port Jarvis Line. In Port Jarvis you can catch a bus to the Gap

There’s something that has troubled me for awhile…there are a lot of calls online to take Aliyah, and I get it, I really do. I can understand the draw especially with more observant, visibly Jewish people because the targeting has become horrific. The fear is growing, and we are all looking back at history and getting generational Deja vu in a really traumatic fashion. And while I feel zero pressure to move to Israel atm…
But for Jews in the diaspora, I always wonder if there are any that are proud of where they are from, that identify with it as much as they identify being Jewish. We all have been raised to have Israel and Jerusalem in our heart and our soul. But I am as American as I am Jewish. Between both sides of my family, my blood has been in America for close to 150 years (my father’s side is 120, my mother’s side is closer to 150). If you put a picture of any natural landscape in Israel or the skyline of Jerusalem or Tel Aviv with a skyline of my home city and the Adirondacks or the Appalachian mountains, my emotional pull will be towards the latter set of pictures.
I can’t see myself ever moving to Israel. I feel that if my ancestors wanted to go back to our collective roots, they would and they’d brave the tyranny of the Ottomans and the British Occupation along with the genocidal hostility of the Arab nations. But they came to America, so I am American born and bred, as are my parents and my grandparents and my maternal great grandparents.
And I wonder, are there any other Jews that feel this way about their country? Any fellow Americans, any British, Canadian, and Australian Jews? Are there Jews in Europe and South America that feel the same? Where they will always support Israel and its right to exist, but they can never imagine living there and can only see themselves living in the country they are currently from?
I will always support Israel’s right to exist. But I am American as much as I am Jewish, so I will support from across the Atlantic.
anon, I want you to know your feelings are valid, you shouldn't be pressured to make an Aliyah for any reason, just because Israel is a Jewish country doesn't mean all Jews must live there or want to live there.
in Israel, it's a pretty common question to ask people for their ancestry (for like ice breakers), and a lot of people will be able to tell you exactly where their grandparents are from, even if they have a very mixed ancestry. for us, where we came from is not something to be erased, it's a major a part of who we are. we're not just Israeli we're polish, iraqi, yemenite, moroccan, russian, italian, ethiopian, hollandi (dutch?), sabra, etc.
I can't talk for Jews in the diaspora, I believe there would be many people who share your feelings, but I can tell you most Israelis would probably understand your pride in your ancestry.

a bit more background to the current situation of the world in SE…in which, humanity might as well be living in its last fucking days
In the aftermath of the nuclear exchange, as the nuclear firestorms and volcanic ash from Europe and the US raged across the planet, this caused the planet's populace to move into cities for protection. By the time of the Martian invasion, most governments on Earth were weakened by the storms and environmental/political chaos, which crippled governmental efforts.
The United States itself was the victim of both a minor supervolcano eruption and nuclear exchange that culminated in the collapse of the world order- the western US fell to alien pathogens and radiation while the vast mid portion of the continent was split open and turned into a wasteland. The east is all that remains of proper civilization, but even that’s not untouched; in the aftermath of the nuclear war and the departure of the federal government/authorities, the east devolved into a massive urban civil war that destroyed countless cities, towns, and lives.
Until 5 years later, in which an extraterrestrial civilization from the planet Mars invaded Earth which caught humanity by surprise. The global war (excluding the armies of the US and Europe) that followed only lasted for 5 hours, during which the superscientist Dr. Lupe Altena discovered a way through unknown means to communicate with the Martians directly. The Union of Nations authorized Altena to negotiate peace with the invading extraterrestrials by any means necessary. Altena managed to negotiate peace by "saving" humanity at the cost of sovereignty; life on Earth had suffered greatly, almost 20% of the human population had been killed and much of the planet's wildlife was now endangered - Lupe pointed out that Mars would risk wiping out an entire potential food source if the war went on, which marked the end of the invasion.
“On the behalf of hundreds of national governments, the Union of Nations has ceded the entirety of the planet Earth, with all its states and peoples, to the extraterrestrial invaders from Mars [] The surrender halted a worldwide assault that only yesterday claimed untold numbers of human lives in mere hours...”
“EARTH SURRENDERS.” The Times, December 1965, p. A1
In the days that followed:
Global food supplies plummeted, stockpiles were decimated and supply lines were in limbo. Millions were without food, and an untold number of preventable deaths occurred.
The meteorological phenomena that resulted from Martian deaths wreaked environmental destruction across the planet. “Nuclear firestorms” raged across continents, destroying the environment, infrastructure, crop lands, and killing millions. Mixed with the Yellowstone incident just a few months before, made large sections of the planet uninhabitable for human life.
The alien disease known as “ADP” or “Adirondack Plague” fully emerged in the human population as the Martian infestation worsened. Even more human deaths occurred, including a sharp rise in hostile ADP-mutated creatures.
Human populations moved into cities for protection, abandoning rural areas to be swallowed up by alien wildlife and natural disasters.
15-20% of the human population was presumed killed in those two months of 1962 alone.
Mars rules Earth, but due to the actions of Lupe Altena and Agent Hammond, humanity was spared the worst possible consequences. Earth is now considered a “wildlife management and gamekeeping project” by the Martian government, in order to prevent humans from destroying themselves again. National governments for humanity remain in place, but with less power and authority over their own resources; governments now function more along the lines of a peacekeeping force, keeping citizens in line and ensuring that the Martian overlords can do as they please without interference.
With the eventual assistance of Mars and an international team of superscientists, the Promethean Society, a global coalition of countries (IndoChina, East Africa, etc) managed to wrangle the former United States back into relative order when remnants of the US government before the war was found hidden in the Rocky Mountains and forced to concede to being monitored and exploited by foreign governments. While the midwest had fallen to firestorms and the west to alien pathogens, negotiations were made: Indochina would take the west coast (the Republic of California), the USSR would take Alaska, and the east coast along with the former provinces of Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Labrador, and Québec would be handed over to the new, smaller government of America; but under the careful eyes of Mars and corporations.
The now Disincorporated United States of America, aka DUSA, aka ‘Medusa’, is a shell of its former self. Under the supervision of Mars and megacorporations, DUSA was rebuilt in the decades to come under foreign occupation and oversight. Cities such as Necropolis Metro, or the NEC, and Las Nevadas however were put under full corporation-military-alien occupation to establish control over its economic bounty.
Necropolis Metro was established as a Zone of Control under the international community and divided into a number of smaller zones controlled by various member countries, but Mars is acknowledged as the true hand of authority and thus rule the entirety of Earth from this city. To police the population of Necropolis the military police and its civilian offshoot, the Peace Officer Unit was founded. Free market capitalism was enforced on the NEC and Las Nevadas, opening the door for foreign workers and companies to come in and do as they please while the poor and marginalized are crushed under the heel of the occupiers.
The 1970s were spent rebuilding, quoted as being “hell”, under Operation Furnace and a new outbreak of ADP that killed tens of thousands of children nationwide. The 80s experienced a minor economic boom that helped the entire country recover, but that didn’t last; in 1995 the economy was sent into a severe recession due to laissez-faire economic practices. In 2005 the DUSA is still in this recession with no end in sight.
As of 2005, the NEC is under the control of 3 foreign entities: the Union of Nations, the five companies collectively known as HYDRA, and Mars. The companies, aka HYDRA, mainly oversee South Gate NEC* while the UN oversees North Gate NEC* but HYDRA keeps its own private militaries stationed there as well. Mars is the ultimate authority and has final control of the NEC, but acts more in a supervisor role than actual administration/governance. DUSA has its own government monitored by other global leaders, but is ultimately under control by Mars as well.
At this point, just assume that Mars rules everything, and that won’t be changing anytime soon…
