John Boyd Thacher State Park, is situated along the Helderberg Escarpment, one of the richest fossil-bearing formations in the world. Even as it safeguards six miles of limestone cliff-face, rock-strewn slopes, woodland and open fields, the park provides a marvelous panorama of the Hudson-Mohawk Valleys and the Adirondack and Green Mountains. The park has volleyball courts, playgrounds, ball fields and numerous picnic areas with nine reservable shelters. Interpretive programs are offered year-round, including guided tours of the famous Indian Ladder Trail. There are over 25 additional miles of trails for summer hiking and mountain biking, and winter cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, and snowmobiling.
It seems like lately Democrats want to talk about anything besides gas prices and inflation. As the party in power, the buck falls on them but they know there is little they can do about the high price of gas in the short term.
But I don’t think there is no shying away from the problem as high gas prices are super obvious any time you go past a gas station. Maybe Democrats would be better off if they faced the problem directly – made an honest plea for people to conserve fuel by avoiding driving and consider buying an electric or hybrid automobile when that time comes.
Then relief for the second half of the weekend but with lots of sun. Probably much nicer for hiking tomorrow. And maybe hammock camping to be decided.
Really too far to know for sure about next weekend but I’m hoping for equally nice or better weather for up north. I really want some really sweltering weather to spend at the Potholers. Or maybe I could go somewhere else. I don’t know if the road to White House NY reopened but while scenic I’m not that big of a fan of it.
