This is the perfect spring day. Temperatures, judging by feel, have to be around 70°, with low humidity. The sky is a deep blue.

I left the bike n the garage today as Helaine and I set out to hike in Sleeping Giant State Park. It's a beautiful place and only five minutes from here.

We thought we were heading up the main trail to the castle at the summit, but after 30 seconds, I realized we'd gone wrong. Oh, what the hell, we just kept walking up the Yellow Trail.

My cellphone rang. It was Stef, calling from college. Later, I snapped some pictures with the camera in the cellphone and uploaded them to Flickr.

Am I missing the purpose of the great outdoors?

The GPS didn't get a good fix until we were halfway up the trail, but it looks like we did about two miles in 45 minutes. It's a hilly trail with lots of big rocks poking up and making footing a challenge.

We'll be back.
