"Little bit of everything with my everything today. Took the Highlands Trail in Long Pond Ironworks SP over Big Beech Mountain and into NY, then followed fading woods roads into Sterling Forest SP and up Hasenclever Hill. Bushwhacked into Tranquility Ridge County Park, up and down Hope Mountain, then followed herd paths and woods roads to Tranquility Mountain summit area, before catching the pipeline cut back to the car. Social Distancing to the max. Not today Coronavirus. Not today." — wacbravo • Mar 21, 2020

"Definitely a choose your own adventure type of day. Hubby and I bushwhacked and explored the backwoods of Long Pond Ironworks State Park, Sterling Forest State Park, and Tranquility Ridge County Park. 3 parks, 4 peaks, not too shabby :)" — pandyabear • Mar 21, 2020

"Loop around the Apshawa Preserve with the afternoon gang. The frogs and toads were calling like mad in the vernal pools, and the first of the skunk cabbage is popping up. Spring is here!" — wacbravo • Mar 25, 2019

"I was able to get out for a quick romp in between client appointments. Perfect hiking weather. Some parts of the trail are still slick with ice and also muddy but overall the trail was easy going." — pandyabear • Mar 16, 2019

"Loop around Bearfort Lookout from Stephens Road. The view from the fire tower is always nice, but the real treat was all of the green along the trail- a welcome change of scenery from the drab brown that is much of the State right now. " — wacbravo • Jan 28, 2019
