Harriman State Park

VPO loves the winter!

Poor visibility all day

Only a few feet ahead and I'm losing VPo

The work of the MC

What does VPo see?

Awe inspiring

Show the love

This is as good as the views got all day

Disappearing into the fog

I'd like to know what the "The Long Brown Path" is

The VPo Man showed off some of his stellar navigation skills.  Despite the fog, VPo found an old hang out and a beech tree that he is very fond of.

This walk will be memorable for two things: the immense fog that surrounded us and the car that nearly took us out.  I don't ever recall an entire day that was as foggy as today.  Visibility was about 100 feet.  This was not enough to deny the VPo man.

After we crossed the stream (which was a bit tricky, here's some video), the bushwacking began.  VPo did this without a compass.  It was all instinct.  We actually came upon the MC's and VPo's hangout spot perfectly, but the snow covered the woodpile and bench.  We wondered for a bit before VPo sniffed it out.

VPo got a bit cocky upon finding his old spot.  He then decided to find the old beech tree.  After a little misdirection, we eventually came upon the beech tree.  I can understand his fondness.  It's not everyday you see such a large beech tree.  You cannot help but be in awe as you look straight up the tree as it reaches for the sky.

Walking out we missed our footprints so we headed a bit too far east.  We walked out to Route 6.  Not very wisely we walked on the right side of the road.  Paranoid of this, I looked back and to my surprise a car was coming straight toward us occupying the entire shoulder.  We both jumped all the way over.  The car brushed up against me.  I was shocked one of the mirrors did not hit me.  Some way to end the day!
