This is a sign I've never seen before! Hiked into Wingdale and found the cheap hotel to dry out in. Then walked about 5 miles to go for groceries at a quick stop. I had to pass Cousins Deli so I had a humongous salad and a pastrami sandwich. But what a hike! On the way out of town I caught two deer playing in a field. Bow season starts Oct 1. I need to find something orange. Also saw a bear. Big and black about 20 yards up ahead went right across the trail. I started making noise as I walk.

Bear mountain is about as busy as Cadillac Mt. Would be on a sunny September Sunday. The difference is that when you hike down to the lake it looks like Balboa Park on a sunny Sunday. Compound that by putting a lodge in, circa 1930's. And it takes on an eerie Yellowstone aura. Then the AT takes you through a zoo. You know how much I like zoos. And there's a lot of revolutionary stuff hereabouts. Fort Clinton and Fort Montgomery , a big chain across the river and West Point just up River. After reading Rabel in Arms I would have thought Benedict Arnold would have had more of a presence than a brief reference “the Arnold-Andre incident”.
