Hike On

The forecast for Schunnemunck area is not great, but it it is hikeable.  Looks like some spotty showers leave the area around 9 AM and then there is a 50/50 chance of a. brief period of heavier rain around noon.  With the temp so warm right now I think this is ok.  No pressure and no problem if you'd rather sit this one out.

Harriman Recap

Harriman State Park Relive Video Congratulations to everyone who completed the Harriman Hike!  That was a full day of hard work, fresh air, and trail navigation.  Our stats varied depending upon tracker, but we clocked somewhere between 10.2 - 11.2 miles, enjoyed an elevation gain between 2,100 and 2,600 feet, and get this ... took 27,500 steps, at least according to Stacey's tracker.  Regardless, this hike squarely ranks first in length, total ascent, and duration - the sun was just setting behind the mountain as the last group was crossing the field to the Elk Pen parking lot.

Mt Tammany Recap

Thank you to all who joined us!  Our first ever meet-up was a  success and we working on a follow up.  The weather was almost perfect - it worked for the climb (1250 ft) but was a tad uncomfortable with the wind at the summit.  The trail was in moderate condition as there was plenty of water and mud to work our way around, especially in the second half on the blue trail.  We lucked out a bit too - Dunnfield Creek was flowing swiftly and made for a scenic rest spot. Special thanks to Darlene who realized a large group of our members was at a different parking lot! Rick brought some technology into play, here is a nifty video of our route based upon his GPS software which ties our coordinates against a three dimensional elevation profile of our hike: And here is our gallery.  Click any image and it will pop out for larger view, and allow you to scroll through each more easily.  Thank You Jeff and Rick for sharing.

Predicted Radar for Tomorrow

We are hiking right above where the Hudson Rover is no longer visible on the map (go to Manhattan, look at the squiggly curve line north of it, where are a few miles north of where the small curve ends). The ground will undoubtedly be wet from all the rains this week, but the shower activity looks to be limited enough to still hike.  As Jeff said, I will post something early tomorrow morning if the hike is canceled, but for now it remains a go.
