Great Saw Mill River Cleanup 2019 – Liberty Coca-Cola Site, Elmsford

I volunteered at this year’s Great Saw Mill River Cleanup, organized by Groundwork Hudson Valley. I previously participated in 2016, clearing invasive vines in around Farragut Avenue in Hastings.

Each year’s cleanup event takes place at 8-10 different locations along the Saw Mill River. This year I chose the Liberty Coca-Cola Site in Elmsford.

I personally found tennis, soccer, golf, whiffle, and softball balls; two commercial garbage can lids; a road cone and part of a barrier; over two dozen plastic pots for plants; a plastic crate; food, snack, candy, and condom wrappers; rubber shoe soles; a pull out bed; a couch with cushions; steel pipes; a gasoline container filled with an unknown liquid; a rusted out shell of a car; tires galore; and bags full of plastic and glass containers.

Yes, I did stop to take a lot of pictures because I think it’s important to spread the word and the message: litter sucks!

Harriman State Park – Breakneck Pond, Suffern-Bear Mountain Trail, Big Hill

Our annual friends trip to the AMC Harriman Outdoor Center landed us in Stone Lodge this year — private bathrooms, a kitchen, and a level of comfort the shared-facility cabins can't match. Between the boats on Breakneck Pond and the buffet dinners, the real draw was the trail: a long push up the Suffern-Bear Mountain Trail past a Big Hill lean-to, the Jackie Jones Mountain fire tower, and the crumbling ORAK ruins. Sunday brought something quieter — a memorial on the Long Path for the victims of Northwest Orient Flight 6231.

Emery Park – Collier’s Climb Trail, Leonard Mountain, Club Gateway

I helped lead a group of Club Getaway guests up the Collier's Climb Trail in Emery Park, near Kent, CT. The route to the summit of Leonard Mountain is a steady incline — not incredibly steep, but consistently at an angle and rarely leveling off. At the top there's a view of the surrounding mountains and valleys, partially obstructed by summer foliage. We went on an exceptionally hot, humid day and stopped a few times for water. We had hoped to descend a different trail, but a recent storm had left it blocked by downed trees, so we retraced our steps for a 2.29-mile out-and-back.

Taxter Ridge Park Preserve – Yellow Trail, Danny Gold Blue Trail, Woody Crest, Orange Trail

Taxter Ridge Park Preserve was the site of my first COVID-era hike, and returning six years later reminded me why I fell in love with it. Despite heat and humidity in the low 80s, the trail delivered — open meadows, dense woods, old carriage trails, a marsh, a water tower, the ruins of a 19th-century sanctuary, and glimpses of stunning multi-million dollar homes along the way. I had the entire 200-acre park almost entirely to myself. Not a single person, not a single car in any of the three parking lots. Just the trail, a lingering deer, and a 2.5L hydration pack I was glad I brought.
