Hammock Bug Net

I don't love being under the bug net as it can be hot and claustrophobic but it sometimes beats getting eaten alive.

Hillshade Of South Mountain

 Hillshade Of South Mountain

As natural processes go, humans are one of the most notable on how they have re-shaped the surface of the earth. Graded surfaces, such as roadways and carriageways are clearly visible on this LiDAR Hillshade along South Mountain and the Palenville Clove of the Catskills. Old carriageways, long abandoned or converted into hiking trails might not be visible on normal aerial photography, but still show up on this hillshade of the landscape. Zoom in and take a careful look at this image.

Along The Adirondack Scenic Railroad Tracks

On Tuesday night, I walked along the Adirondack Scenic Railroad Tracks, which get little use since last year's wash out by Rollins Pond. The tracks were quiet, as they wandered through the wilderness. I saw a black bear and cubs, and not being sure if I locked up my truck fully, I headed back to camp after walking out about 20 minutes on the tracks.
