Ah the first day of spring, at least for peak baggers, and it’s time to get out of the house despite the big lock down. Because of my wonderful alpine start of 10:19 from home managed to get one of the last parking spots along RT 9W in the Doodletown area. Did a loop of Dunderberg, Bald and The Timp, where I had lunch, using trails, woods road, ski trail and bushwhack. Managed to catch a sight of two Pileated woodpeckers swooping through the trees. Many hikers out enjoying the fresh air and not following the stay home protocol. To finish the day I headed over to the Silvermine Lake parking lot, which was full of cars, to do an out and back of Black mountain via woods roads and the AT/R-D. A rather large beaver house along the shore of the lake, I don’t think I’ve seen it before, they can be quite industrious.
