THE HIKE:
This 3-mile woods road loop was a nice add on to the Schunemunk hike since that wasn't quite long enough and Sterling Forest was on the way home.
 |
| It's a short road walk on Eagle Valley Road to ... |
 |
| ... a left into the power cut. |
 |
| Leaving the power cut to the left on a woods road. |
 |
| Puddle Frog! |
 |
| At the fenced in mine pit, the trail splits into a loop. We stayed left since that part skirts the back of homes and figured I'd get that out of the way first. |
 |
| A bridge built by an Eagle Scout. |
 |
| What have we here that looks totally out of place? |
 |
| Balloon #46 of the year. I don't find many in the summer because of plant growth but this one had newly landed and was very easy to see. |
 |
| Taking a break in the middle of the trail because there was nobody else around. |
 |
| More frogs in a puddle. |
 |
| Back at the fenced in mine pit, a left to retrace ... |
 |
| ... then a right in the power cut. |
 |
| A right on Eagle Valley Road back to ... |
 |
| ... the parking pull out. |
