Hike #5996 – Victorian Stroll and Vroman’s Nose – Dec 3, 2011
The group met at the Herkimer Thruway exit to carpool and travelled first to Sharon Springs and then on to the Nose. 22 hikers convened on the historic streets of Sharon Springs, met town folk in their Victorian garb , including one of the Beekman Boys in their mercantile store, and enjoyed the shops and side street walks to view the historic old hotels, baths, and homes. We even got a tour inside one of the homes now used as a B&B.
At the hike up Vroman’s nose, the sun warmed our faces on the cliff side. The views were enjoyed by all, and the damage caused by Hurricane Irene were easily detected in the Schoharie Valley below us.
After the decision, some ventured back to Sharon Springs to eat, others stopped at a diner in Middleburgh.
