Nice.

This was an nice out and back hike. Folks often skip the last decent toward the reservoir so that section besides being steep was not really open trail. Usually our hiking is up a mountain, down a mountain so this sawtooth hike was a different vibe. A good day with my baby.

That's a cool looking frog.

Did you run into any hunters? Do you take any precautions this time of year when you are out in the woods, like wearing blaze?

Yes. It was still archery season in this part of NY yesterday. There were a lot of tree stands but we only saw a handful of hunters. We chatted with one guy, I think he was going to try to time changing stands with our return hoping we'd move a deer. Blaze orange cap and bright jackets, archers are generally a better sort of hunter identifying targets, not being drunk, and actually understanding the animals they hunt.

The frog better change leaves if he wants his camo to work.

I had to wait for him to get where he could be seen,

But you could have taken Barbour Brook Rd, Dry Brook Rd, and Nyc Rd to get there in way less time without all that dreadful walking.

We'll plan better in the future.

It won't help, Pete will say, oh look a mountain and you'd follow her anywhere.

that's the decoy, distracting you from the other three real frogs in that picture.
