A duck of some sort skirts the still water headed north (must be that mo- ment between the incoming and outgo- ing tides). I can see houses, a small city in the distance. There’s a hint of distant hills, and even more distant mountains. A train scurries north not a half hour since the last one did the same. Things must have gotten blocked up down in the city, I think. Behind me is a small hillside, fields to the north and forest to the south. I’m facing east, of course, towards Columbia and Dutchess counties, and Connecticut and Massachusetts, along with the rest of New England. Do I feel the Catskill Mountains, Pennsylvania and Ohio and the rest of the Midwest and West behind me? Not really, only if I start to put my mind to it. A river has two sides.

They were not and I decided to park halfway up the dirt road leading in a loop through the golf course. I even enjoyed this part of the walk since I’d never visited the area before outside of a car. Upon reaching the top of the hill, I noticed the serene setting, elegance of the main building and the beautiful view of Giant Mountain from the golf course. Sawteeth loomed opposite of Giant, behind us. We walked down the Lake Road to the trailhead sign-in book and began the three-mile journey leading to the trails. On this day, a sign saying that the trail was slightly rerouted greeted us. I wondered what this meant during the ensuing hour. My original intent was to hike Gothics, Armstrong and Upper Wolf Jaw.
