Camped a night here at Floyd Bennett Field. The full moon was covered by thick clouds, but the city lights provided enough light for some late night spelunking adventures.

Off Course, Not Lost
Last Sunday marked the 2nd monthly hike of the newly dubbed The Urban Hiking Adventure League of Justice Conquistadors. It was planned 3-4 weeks ahead of time, but there were many last minute changes. And somehow with 19 others, it ended up being a successful hike. More details & photos.
The Escarpment
This odd winter has given me so many amazing weekends to go outdoors. M and I took advantage of a Google offer from December for a chartered trip from Gear to Go Outfitters. We decided on the Escarpment trail in the Catskills, since it was a hike we wanted to do since November. The trail head is in Hunter, NY and looped around North & South lake, offering breathtaking views that have inspired the Hudson River School.
Giant Stairs
I decided to organize monthly urban hiking for friends. There’s so much accessible hiking from NYC and it’s great to see so many city dwellers out here with me! Here’s the scoop on the first trip to the Giant Stairs at Palisades Interstate Park in New Jersey.

The day after Thanksgiving I went for my last hike of 2011 in the Catskills with M, C, F and A It was rather spontaneous, I first proposed the plan that Sunday to M, still itching to make use of newly purchased camp gear from our Arizona camping trip earlier in November. We decided on camping 2 nights and hiking a combination of 2 trails – the Wittenberg-Cornell-Slide (WCS) and the Phoenicia East Branch (PEB).
What You See Is What You Get
