I am much better at completing my hikes than completing the journaling of them...I was always envious of my friends who had volumes of diaries. I have this and it beats anything I wrote about at as a heartbroken teen in my estimation! So on Saturday February 25th I walked this path with Bingo, who alone accompanied me. We had fun exploring, really with no map just careful attention to detail in case we needed to backpedal. I remembered being told that I could enter the Preserve through Weber Park, a residential community off route 9, right past the intersection of 443. If you stay straight the road ends at a pretty park which if you stay straight, ends at a gate of Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. We passed partially through the cemetery and found a gate up above that led us to a portion of the aqueduct and beyond, the Preserve. It was a different area of the preserve, which I had wanted to reach including Peggy's Way. See Photo below. It was a mild, but super windy morning so not many people were out around large over hanging trees...don't know why ;).
We enjoyed the curves and rushing water under beautiful archways and stone bridges. We also came across a branch that on the ground, looked identical to camouflage print, that is supposed to be identical to the trees. It was beautiful, but too heavy to lug around, so see the photo below. Bingo and I passed through portions of the Pocantico River trail (which I want to navigate in full), Peggy's Way and Big Tree Trail. We were out for about an hour and a half, due partially to the trek into the park. We had a grand old time. Please be patient I will catch up with my March posting soon!!!!!
