Gee, I  didn't mean to offend anyone.  I'm terrified of NYC--have only been 
there  once.  Rube that I am, I thought anything north of halfway up the state  
was upstate.  I stand corrected.


Well, it all depends on your orientation.  Here in NYC we think  anything 
north of the Bronx is "Upstate."  Those who live in Westchester  Country (just 
north of NYC) think that upstate is the Catskills and beyond and  so it goes.  
 
Those who live near the Canadian Border think that NY is Downstate (Why  
those people are almost Canadian in their thinking).   
 
Don't be afraid of NYC.  It is a wonderful place to visit.  Come  and see -- 
lots of hikers here!
