Goodbye to a Quarry

This is the quarry, over 300 feet deep! One day the quarriers hit water & it filled up.  The boat is the Montgomery Ward Sea King.

Time for one last dip in the water and then we're off on our journey.

Vermont to Brooklyn, the slow way

First, a relaxing week in Vermont... then home! In broad strokes, our plan follows the Appalachian Trail to the Old Croton Aqueduct Trail into New York City. The full details are:

• Appalachian Trail from Bromley in Vermont down to Anthony's Nose in New York, just east of the Bear Mountain Bridge.
• Wiggle on down to Peekskill, NY, and head south through Depew Park and Blue Mountain Reservation
• Follow the Briarcliff-Peekskill Trailway to the New Croton Dam
• Head south on the Old Croton Aqueduct Trail to Yonkers, NY
• Veer off onto the southernmost 2 miles of the Westchester South County Trailway, entering the Bronx
• Continue through Van Cortland Park on the Old Putnam Trail
• Head down Broadway into Manhattan
• March down the length of Manhattan to the Manhattan Bridge
• A few easy strides home into Brooklyn

This should be fun. You can keep tabs on our progress using the map above.  The silly little face shows where we were when the internet last spotted us -- click on it to see how long ago that was. Please use this information for good, not evil! (Send snacks, not snakes!)
