Long Path

Snowshoes on NY Long Path. This is really vigorous exercise! walked just short of three miles today in the 6-8 inches that was dumped on the area yesterday. We were headed for the Anthony Wayne Recreation area but the parking lot was closed. Lat year we had a blast buzzing the jeep around in the lot there in 17 inches. I guess no more winter fun over there!! We finally decided to head south on the Long Path from NY Rt 6 just West of the Long mountain Circle. The nearest item of interest on this trail would have been the cave shelter but that was a bit out of reach for the depth of snow we had to trudge through. All the way out we were walking to the left of ski tracks careful not to destroy the groove but alas a group of twelve crazians trampled all over it on the way out. So much fun getting out here in the snow even though the effort will send you to bed real early!
