Springs ?? what springs ??

Cajun,
Thanks for the research.
Actually, the Iroquois and Woodland Indians have not been given enough credit for their discovery of this unique geological feature. The springs are all over. Worth the time to take a walk in the park and have a taste. Bring a cup. They are still pouring out. Overlooked by many that are just here for the horses. So many sites of interest...the battlefield, racing museum...
I could go on and on.
Now, back to talking about "springs". About an hour west on I-88 is the town of Sharon Springs. Had glory days early in the 20th century from many people looking for relaxing baths in the sulfur rich "waters".
The baths are still there though the town has declined. It kind of smells like "rotten eggs" but still attracts folks in search of curing.
Definitely worth a side trip for the adventurous.

Here in the northern Catskills, there are many water bottling companies that sell the fresh clean water to many outlets.
I sometimes take it for granted that the source of water for NYC melts from the snows that blanket the mountains I look at each day.
