Dog and I, and Dog's dog, Dixie, went for a day hike in Harriman State Park on Friday. My first time hiking there and it's impressive that such a large stretch of woods and trails is so close to Manhattan. It was below freezing when we started out at 9:30AM but warmed by noon into the high 50's. It was weird to be hiking in just nylon pants and a long underwear shirt in January! We ended up doing a loop of about 9 miles that included lakes and streams and southward views that revealed the NYC skyline at the end of many wooded ridges. It was a unique picture of a "city on a hill" with the various ridges hiding the greater metropolitan area from view. A highlight for Dog 
was a cup of espresso that I made at one of the lean-tos using one of those stove-top coffee makers. (Great the amenities you can have when you're not bringing tents, sleeping bags, etc.)
I know I'll be back many times in the months and years to come!
