With weather predictions for rain and a heavy deluge just passing through the Mohawk Valley, 10 people braved the weather, drove up to, and hiked the Inman Gulf.  After checking out the Oak Rim Trail the day before; it was the consensus of the group to do the Homerun Trail to John Young Nature Trail, and down the Inman Gulf Trail to view Rainbow Waterfalls.  We stopped for lunch at a picnic table and swing, then proceeded down the trail where we quickly picked up the smell of a wood fire smoldering.  We came upon a campfire still with hot embers.  Harold called it in to the rangers, as we didn’t have enough water amongst us to put it out.  The waterfalls were surprisingly low on water flow, considering the amount of recent rainfall and Hurricane Irene.  After approximately 6 miles of hiking loops and returning to our cars, we drove to the Boonville Hotel for dinner.
