The four of us went for a quick hike today in Harriman. I didn’t bring a camera, but there’s a blog post here of the route we took with some photographs as well, albeit the wrong season. The Jackie Jones fire tower is quite high, and the fact that it’s made of rusting angle iron doesn’t [...] I took the kids on what turned out to be a 4.5 mile hike today. We visited Third Reservoir and Breakneck Pond. Start point is here.

A couple weeks ago I was on a ride through Talman Mountain State Park and ran into a fellow who had actually wandered out into the marsh to do some bird photography. That sounded like fun, so today I put on [...] Mechel and I drove out to Monsey Glen park this afternoon and hiked up onto the abandoned rails there. I’ve seen on a map that the tracks run South, then curve to the West and finally North and come back under Route 59 in Tallman, a couple miles West of the park. I had to [...] Today we went for a hike up in Harriman. We decided to do this hike, which includes waterfalls and a view of the New York City skyline. Baila was playing cute in the Kelty pack: We kept hiking and reached the creek after 0.4 miles or so: We encountered a set of small waterfalls a bit father up [...] Last week, a co-worker was telling me about orienteering. Turns out that there’s a Hudson Valley club. There’s an event next week at Lake Sebago in Harriman Park. Anyway, he lent me an orienteering map from the 1979 Orienteering World Cup.
