Day 118

06/26/12 - near South Highland Road - ≈1,410 miles

Sometimes when I'm hiking, the sound of my breathing blocks everything else out.  This seems to be happening a lot here in New York.  We have experienced the most frequent ups and downs than in any other state.  I feel like we are always either climbing a mountainside or falling down one.  Constantly.  Up.  Down.  Up.  Down.  Climbed Bear Mountain today which was one really well maintained trail.  Went through the zoo and saw some pretty sad creatures.  Foxes, coyotes, porcupine, bears.  Much too small cages.  Sad.  Then crossed the Hudson.  Acrophobia slightly and the fear of a falcon attacking.  Saw Uncle Spider (not since TN), Whoop and Resource today.  Also talked with U-haul as we ate some pizza at this awesome Shell station.  Much nom was nommed.  We are doing longer miles now.  Wolfsnake and Tigerlilly.  Happy birthday to seester Sarah today!

  1. Thank you again for a happy birthday wish last year. :) Sorry to hear of sad animals in small cages. :( At least most are free and wild... and many more have good zoo habitats.
