NPL to Oneil Lean-to 08/05/07

Nature calls it happens to all of us. But girls, leaving your TP on the trail is just plain lazy. Now being a lady of a certain size and age and having birthed 3 kids i p*e*e* a lot, but always off the trail and i loves me some Ziplocs. On this beautiful August day we encountered at least 5 parties on our way to the lean-to from the Rt 28/30 trail head. That's taking your chances in being caught in a compromising position, and my camera is always at the ready. So unless you want to see your bare bottom ( or worse) on here, take it off the trail, pack it out or bury it. Enough said.

Cheney Pond - 12/31/06 New Year's Eve

Cheney pond is a quick little jaunt to a beautiful wilderness pond, located in the Vanderwhacker Moutain Wild Forest. We hit the road late as we were a bit lazy and unorganized this morning, so this nessitated just a bit of a stretch of the legs. We had McGreggor with us and he's not use to snow and cold. I wanted to explore this pond for a while, it should be great for a paddle in the warmer months. My only worry is that at only a mile in, it proably gets a lot of use. There was a picnic table and privy and just enough snow to make it look pretty. We drove down Blue Ridge Rd to North Hudson then took rt9 all the way to Lake George and stopped into the Garrison for some burgers. A Great way to kick out 2006.
