Taconic State Park, 9/16-18/2005

Lynn and I arrived at Taconic State Park midday on Saturday. Because of miscommunication, Lana and Larry didn’t make it.

Quite soon after we set up our tents, it started to rain. I unpacked a new Campers’ Group tarp from the trunk of my car and we set it up over the picnic table. Naturally, once the tarp was up the rain stopped.

Lynn took a hike from the site to Bashbish Falls and I stayed to collect firewood. I found some down trees about 50 feet into the woods and I sawed up enough pieces to build a blazing fire.

After dinner, Lynn went to bed early and I stayed up late to enjoy my fire.

On Sunday morning, Lynn walked to Sunset Rock -- it’s a steep climb -- while I packed up my tent and equipment. Then I hiked to Bashbish Falls and put my feet in the chilly water. Driving home, we stopped at an organic restaurant and farm stand for lunch and groceries.
