The
spring flowers are all way ahead of schedule this year because of the
mild winter.
We
hiked about a seven mile loop that was equal parts uphill on the Copper
Mine trail, along the ridge on the Appalachian trail, and back down
to the Delaware River on the Kaiser trail.
There
were several different local environments as we climbed out of the Dleaware
River valley. By the time we hit the Appalachian trail it was open and
sunny.
Hiking
with Katie isn't quite what it used to be. She is still willing, but
not always able. I had to carry her over some of the rougher terrain,
much to Sue's ammusement.
It's
a sad commentary on the state of the restaurant business in the Bronx,
but the grin on my face is because we found a Ponderosa Steak house
with a salad bar on our way home. Neither of us eats steak, but a good
all-you-can-eat salad bar was like an oasis in the Italian Chinese desert.
