BACKROADS FALL FIESTA THURS/OCT. 16-MON/OCT. 20
If you thought we couldn't put another gathering together, you were WRONG! We are going on a quest to discover the Holy Grail of riding during the best time of the year, at three great places. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three.
YOU MUST CALL AND ASK FOR THE BACKROADS GROUP TO GET THE ROOM DISCOUNT.
The Amsterdam Castle
'Go and tell your master that we have been charged by God with a sacred quest. If he will give us food and sheler for the night, he can join us in our quest for the Holy Grail.'
We'll begin our adventure, after making your way across the Bridge of Death (what is your favorite color?) in Amsterdam NY at the Castle, where we will be Knights of the Round Table, and dance whene'er we're able.
As of 8/14/2025 all rooms at the Amsterdam Castle have been booked. The closest lodging would be the Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Amsterdam.

The Lake Motel
The next day we'll meander north through the Adirondacks, with a option to visit the Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown to see the 'Exploring Calvin & Hobbes' exhibit, before making our way to the Lake Motel, nestled on Lake George, our home for two nights.
The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water.
There is bountiful riding in the Adirondacks, as we spend the day searching for the Holy Grail and demonic rabbits.
Hancock House Hotel
Our last night will be spent at a favorite and familiar haunt, our exploring and quest done for this trip.
A year passed: winter changed into spring, spring changed into summer, summer changed back into winter, and winter gave spring and summer a miss and went straight on into autumn... until one day...
And, no, it's not only a model…
