Hello Hikers!
Wednesday Nov 16
Road walk — Legge Hill Road from Honeypot Road to Lathrop Hill Road and beyond, Candor
First time we walked on this road — I decided we should try it without ever having been here — I picked it out just by looking at Google maps — I thought it looked really promising but it was far more beautiful than I’d hoped — it helped that it was a wonderful mild morning
I love to walk in the woods, of course, but when we can find a country road like this one, I like it on the road just as much

Sunday Nov 20
Upper Treman SP
We had a little bit of an adventure — we wanted to cross Fishkill Creek but the water was high and the rocks very slippery — one group made it across but the rest of us chickened out — some of those who crossed recrossed back, the others forged ahead on the other side and met up with us later — fun!
Those of you who fly around for pleasure have probably hiked in summer conditions one day and winter conditions the next, but for those of us stay-at-home hikers it was an interesting experience. I was a little surprised to find that I enjoyed Sunday’s wintry hike just as much as Saturday’s balmy one — though of course it wasn’t truly cold Sunday, so it wasn’t a perfect experiment.
