The start and finish to the hike.
I was originally going to do a hike by Lake Tiorati in Harriman State Park today but my ankle was feeling sore so I decided once again to hike to Anthony’s Nose. I was afraid that at a length of 7 miles, the Harriman Hike would have put too much stress on an already tender ankle. So I decided to do my favorite standby, Anthony’s Nose.

The Zen Hiker 
I hiked at Bear Mountain yesterday and forget how important it is to wear actual hiking boots. Sneakers didn’t cut it. I pointed out Anthony’s Nose to my friend. Does that count? Anthony’s Nose is too ambitious for me. Btw, I’m finally writing again, even though I have to go to work today. It will take hours and hours to catch up on the blogs I’ve missed. I’ll read more of yours later. I miss reading your blog posts!
