🏷️ hiking

A couple weekends ago we headed out to Soar Valley to hike and climb. The water was much higher than I expected it to be. When we got down to the bottom of Point Peter the water was high enough that we could not go around and had go climb back up which was surprising considering the drought conditions.

While at Jabe Pond we made a trip out to black mountain for a day hike. The weather was pretty awesome but I was drenched by the end even without the rain.

Its a pretty awesome look out over Lake George. I would suggest checking it out.

With all the snow melting the river was crazy roaring.

Last Sunday it was amazing outside. We headed out to Letchworth to check out the railroad bridge before they knock it down. I will be sad to see it go. We captured some amazing 360 pics for the VR headset from the top.

Friday afternoon was warm. Not as warm as Wednesday but warmer than today. @joe and I went hiking for a bit to celebrate the temperature. The creek was a kind of disgusting mixer of runoff and sewage. At least it smelled like it. The head of the trail also had what looked like the remnants of a former garbage dump or illegal dumping ground. It was still nice to just be outside. We even saw bugs.

The 6 ft of snow melted on this 65 degree day and turned all the trails into creeks.

We headed out to Hunters Creek in EAST Aurora yesterday to get some fall hiking in. The leaves were beautiful. I wish I still had fall color mode.

We found the craziest bug trails in the wood of this one tree. They were so consistent and particular.

There is a whole other part I never saw before. I can't believe we missed it having been there so many times. It was nice to get away from the city for a bit although it was terrifying climbing on the rocks.

On the way home from Jones Pond we hiked the big bend trail at Letchworth on the more primitive side of park, then headed over to the touristy side for some sight seeing. I fell asleep on the grass laying in the sun. It actually felt like summer for a moment.

We headed out to the gorge today to do the full hike at whirlpool state park. We went to the end of the trail this time. I know why they want you to stop now. Right after the end is the sewer overflow. Its gross. Other than that it was a beautiful warm day.
