Two New Trails Open By Lanny Wexler
Two new spectacular hiking trails opened earlier this year that adds miles of scenic delights for the hiking community. In Storm King State Park, the Howell trail was completed. The Howell Trail provides stupendous views of the Hudson River and surrounding hill country. The trail climbs Storm King Mountain on a series of sweeping switchbacks and rocky staircases. The trail can be reached on Route 9W or Route 218. However, Route 218 was temporarily closed last year. The Howell Trail is shown as a proposed series of dashed lines on the 1992 West Hudson Trail Map #7. The second trail to open is the 37 mile long Shawangunk Ridge Trail which extends from High Point, New Jersey to Verkeederkill Falls just south of Minnewaska State Park. The trail provides an alternate highland route to the Long Path in Orange County, and in fact the Shawangunk Ridge Trail connects the Appalachian Trail in New Jersey at High Point with the Long Path in Minnewaska State Park. The Shawangunk Ridge Trail follows as the name suggests the main ridge of the Shawangunks offering frequent views extending from the Delaware River to the Hudson. From numerous vantage points along the trail can be seen the Poconos, Catskills, Hudson Highlands and even the Berkshires. The trail follows the ridge most of the way except where it drops down into the Bashakill Swamp, one of the largest "Excuse me, but the others sent me up here to wetlands in Southeast New York.

Editor's Desk By Ron Engasser
Two years as your editor seems like a long time. I have gone through 4 printers, introduced Desktop Publishing and advertising to this fine publication. Good news is that I we have a new advertiser, Eastern Mountain Sports. Welcome aboard. On a sad note I have to inform you that the Northface store closed it's doors as of Oct. 13th. They were our first paid advertising and let us use their store for one meeting. I just got back from the October outing at the Adirondack Lodge and climbed 3 mountains and attended 2 parties and am now nursing sore knees and an aching head! BUSHWACK...I led a hike in the Catskills that was part trailed and part untrailed. We got lost more times than I wish to remember but somehow found the trail and kept going. Using compass, map and dead reckoning we achieved our goals by sheer perseverance and determination to achieve a goal. Find the canister. Keep going and don't give up. Neither bushes, brambles, dense trees, boot sucking peet bogs and what have you stopped us from getting to the summit. If it's high adventure you want, this is the club for you. WRITERS!

Conservation Report By June Fait
What does the passage of Environmental Protection Fund mean for us on the local level? Two areas of local interest come to mind: The Pine Barrens and Sterling Forest. The accord reached on our own Long Island Pine Barrens land is historic in that finally both environmentalists and developers are satisfied. A lot still has to be worked out but the EPF will help in the necessary land acquisition. The end result will be more hiking trails on the East End for us to explore as well as preservation of our water quality. Its nice to know that not all of Long Island will be paved. There is also the possibility for land acquisition in Sterling Forest. A bill has been sponsored in the House of Representatives (H.R. 2741) which will authorize the Palisades Interstate Park Commission to receive federal funds to purchase 13,000 acres of Sterling Forest and provide conservation easements for another 1600 acres. It is important that we lobby our senators to introduce a companion bill in the Senate. More letter writing for us. Jack Freeman is available to go to Washington D.C. to lobby on behalf of H.R. 2741. We can visit the local offices of our representatives and senators to acquaint them with our concerns. Neil Woodworth is in Albany lobbying for matching state funds. At present the ADK feels that land acquisition is the area in which we should do more. It is the only sure way of protection and is a better use of our club's limited resources. Support our club's effort 'or public funding to buy 17,00 acres of Sterling Forest. hunting frogs and newts Looking Back flows around the dams I built.
