The decision was made to shorten this hike down, mostly to avoid the people who normally hike\/bike on the first, narrower part of the trail from Herkimer to the Ft Herkimer church. So, we began from the church and headed eastward. We were a small group of six which made it easy for us to get out of other walker\/runner\u2019s way as we passed each other. We walked along the paved trail at a leisurely pace and took a rest on some boulders when we reached the lock at 2.1 miles from where we began.<\/p>\n

The next stage took us along where the trail is being remade to go to Little Falls and we passed all the construction mess and turned off onto the older trail and walked through the muddy areas. At the junction where the old trail rejoins the newer trail, Mike and Janice Huss opted to head back.\u00a0The rest of us continued on for another mile before turning back. Kathleen Spencer got a lesson in what it means when a leader says they are only going a short distance further, but she did an excellent job keeping up with the rest of us!<\/p>\n

Seven tramps hiked the partially-developed\u00a0trail between Herkimer and Little Falls. We started from the Old Stone Church and hiked on a beautiful trail for 2 miles, after that we ran into construction of the rest of the trail into LF.\u00a0It was a\u00a0 nice break from the asphalt and into the shade. Thanks to Dianna and Russ for leading the hike. Jim Wasielewski<\/p>\n
