Day Fourteen

Long Hill Road to NY 55
14.7 miles

Another fairly easy day and we made good time.  Especially since we were slackpacking, allowing for a light pack of only lunch and a bottle of water.   It was rainy, cloudy, windy and cold today.

The profile showed two pretty good uphills but they didn’t prove to be too steep. 

It was a good day.  We went to eat at Cracker Barrel again and then back to the Quality Inn in Fishkill.

Day Thirteen

South Highland Road to Long Hill Road
11 miles

It was another easy day today and a short one.  Started out cool in the 50’s and went to 70’s again.  We saw lots of day hikers. 

We had a view of Canopus Lake Beach as we walked around it.  We had a walk for awhile on a wall with a drop-off below.  That was unusual.

We saw a running stream for a change – one of only a few we have seen the entire hike. 

We finished fairly early and went again to Cracker Barrel and stayed at Ramada Inn in Fishkill.
