I feel like I'm beginning to gain an understanding, but I'm not ready to go back to my usual adventures just, as I want to be well versed in taking good shots with this thing.

I took a slow drive through the Village of Wappingers and successfully found the entrance. My first challenge was navigating the space, as I'd never been there before and the road is mono-dire...
