Hiking. (Isn't that exercise?)

Posted On July 31, 2004

Jen and Tom’s friend’s Jeanette and Rob wanted to do something “outdoor-sy” this weekend. Eventually, we settled on hiking in Harriman State Park in Rockland. Friends Steve and Sanja decided to join us.

The hike started out on warm (ok HOT) day, but it seemed much cooler under the canopy of trees. About two hours into the hike, following red-on-white blaze marks, we stopped at Pine Meadow Lake (I think) for lunch.
After lunch we started back to the visitor center. A couple of minutes into the hike, a very welcome rain started to fall. Soon, this stopped…and was later followed by a torrential down poor. Except for the need to later buy dry clothing, a fun day was had by all.
