Hiking to High View Tunnel
For eight years, we’ve lived in Wurtsboro and just now discovered the High View Tunnel. We pass by the street all the time when we go local and never knew that we could hike the other side. After stumbling on a site with details about the tunnel, I was curious and wanted to check it […]
Completing our First HBTrails Triathlon
I’ve seen a few triathlons in my life but never participated in one. Perhaps one day before my knees give out, we will give it a try. Today, my hubby decided two weeks of resting his ribs was enough and that we should do a hike. We got ready, filled our water bottles and grabbed […]
