NY Hiking Trip!

Happy week of the 4th!
Sorry I have not been able to post much this week but it has been a hot/humid one so my bottom has stayed in fresh water as much as possible! This past weekend I went hiking in upstate New York with my love, his son, and our two labs.
We went to a great trail in North Hudson called Hammond Pond Wild Forest and it was absolutely amazing!!! There are four different stops you can make along the way including Trout Pond, Round Pond, Hammond Pond, and East Mill Flow. We did not make it all the way to East Mill Flow but Hammond Pond was simply gorgeous. It was roughly 2.5 miles to this pond and a very cool little man-made bridge crossing the lower end of the pond.
 There are also a few aluminum boats and canoes left on the pond for everyone to use. When we took the boat across we came to a rock-face with a cleared off area that would be great for a campsite! We used this opportunity to jump into the clear water (although it is dark) and came out only smelling mildly of beaver! The absolute silence that surrounded us and the still water made for a picturesque day and I can't wait to go back again.
