• Two boardwalks that give one a chance to experience a walk by the water. One on the North shore and one on the south. Sunken Meadow: if you start at the main entrance of the boardwalk and walk to the West (left) first to the end then back the entirety of the boardwalk, it’s about…

  • Hiking in Harriman State Park

    Went hiking in a new park. We’ve passed it several times over the years and have never stopped in to check it out. Pretty silly considering how massive the park is and the closer proximity for the drive. Of course weather conditions were not ideal. It had rained in the overnight into the morning and…

  • Sam’s Point High Point Loop – Alone

    It was a crisp Saturday morning and I had it in my head that I was going to do this loop. I was going to make the 3 hour trip and walk the near ten miles. So, with little planning as well as some sandwiches, I put my trip in the hands of the GPS.…

  • Bull Hill Full Loop, some ice, and a painful bottom

    The day started early. Still dark outside and excited to go hiking again. It’s been several weeks since last time hiking and wasn’t sure how we would hold up! The weather was crisp but dressed in several lawyers for good measure. Better to take off a few pieces than wish you had something to put…

    NYC

    There’s nothing more iconic than Christmas time in NYC. The everyday hustle and bustle is just so much greater during this time of year. Seems like extra tourists from all over the world and shoppers all converge in on a central location. Masses of people just roaming the city streets. I just had the opportunity…

  • Minnewaska State Park Preserve

    Yesterday, at the begrudging of Ola, we went hiking some new trails at Minnewaska State Park. It was a dreary day that consisted of a few showers but mostly just a constant and continuous mist. We started our adventure on the trail at Lake Minnewaska from the upper parking lot with as many cars there…

  • Town Christmas Tree lighting

    The other day started the Christmas 🌲 lighting season. We went to one and, despite my aversion to big crowds and the cold, soaked in the spirit of the time. People coming together and laughing and being more pleasant and patient than one experiences in the day-to-day life is dear I say magical. There was…
