Some pictures of a hike Norma and I took yesterday along the horse trail in North Brookfield next to the Madison County Fairgrounds. The path was a bit muddy and also had trees down; however it was still passable and well worth it.  Maybe in a day or 2 it will dry up. Pat D.

Q News April 11, 2020 Stony Pond & Russell Park

Stoney Pond Russell Park, Ilion April 11, 2020 Russ and Dianna went exploring – at socially acceptable distances – through the little-traveled trails in Russell Park.  We entered the park via the quite steep and slippery-with-mud Bullion Trail. Leaving the more popular Horseshoe Trail, we went via the swampy Bunny Trail, then up into the hills where we took the Bushwhack Trail (not really a bushwhack as the trail is quite easy to follow) and then joined back further along…

Dexter Lake & NCT Link Trails

DEXTER LAKE Trying to find the “Path less traveled,” Mandy and I went to Dexter Lake today. There were five cars in the parking area but we were the only ones signed in going to Dexter.  There was quite a bit of snow still on the ground. Almost could’ve used snowshoes in a couple of places. It was beautiful and peaceful to sit and enjoy the lake. Sharon  ________________________________________________________ NCT LINK TRAILS Put in 8.4 miles on the NCT/Link trails on…

Stone Hill Sculpture Park

Hi Tramps, My husband, dog Rosie and I went to Stone Hill Quarry Sculpture Park today.  We roamed around and caught part of the NCT (North Country Trail) which if taken the distance would land one in Canastota.  We discovered other sections of the park which we had not seen before.  There are some beautiful views from the several vistas at the park. Stay Healthy and grateful! Sharon H

Day 6 of quarantine. Went for a walk while they were doing work on my car. These are pics of the walking path that goes from McCraith’s beverages to the old Ramada Inn – Jim took you all on it sometime in the last year.                            After the Halloween flood, I thought it was the bridge that was out, but the flood totally erased part of the path!…

Flock of birds along Valley View that didn’t get the social distancing alert. Bobbie Scarpino Saw these on the switchbacks today. Do you follow the toes or the arrows??? Bobbie Scarpino We hiked the hill first and then tried skiing one last time. Good as long as we didn’t stop. Then stuck like crazy. NV and PD

Signs of spring; hikers and a 1905 old bridge support being reused on a new Creek bridge on the newer part of the trail toward Little Falls. Nice day in the sunshine with socially distant Tramps. Dianna Morris A small group of us met Sunday, March 22, to walk the Canalway Trail from Old Herkimer Church, off of Rt. 5S, towards Little Falls, while keeping well beyond the recommended social distancing. Flat, easy walk with each choosing the distance we…
