Ch 218 Global Foundries

that dog don't hunt

Gave Misha a workout this week walking thru the Saratoga Park grounds to the afternoon Ballet at SPAC, up Hadley Mt again burning out Kathy,  and up to the ground breaking here of Global Foundries (Dubai/AMD) chip fab facility in Malta behind Shawn's house. Misha's not so much of a hunter as she is a hiker. Didn't need no port-a-potty, she had her own ground breaking ceremony after leaving a little deposit which she covered with dirt kicking and scratching with her hind legs. She is versatile though and just as comfortable in the world of high techs as she is in the high peaks. The training center construction here is part of Hudson Valley Community College where our kids started out.

 

                         

We were prohibited from entering the main site due to my old nemesis, the "security breach". They definitely had their eyes on us when I snapped pictures as we probably fit the "profile" of industrial spies. We did find a nice trail thru the woods though. Nice winding trails, although a tad confusing and and maybe not fully "authorized". Misha went into the creek for a little water. Hope it wasn't polluted with the old rocket fuel . We explored all the trails and may have ventured a little too far into a protected off-limits area where they were still chopping up Luther Forest trees. Must  avoid the bombs .But we made it out without incident however.
