Back in the state of my birth July 12, 2019Hikeadmin For almost a mile this boardwalk stretches across the NJ wetlands. I’ve heard a rumor that it allows wheelchair bound people to experience one aspect of the trail. I have now entered the state of my birth. And it’s not been easy. NY is kicking our hiking butts with many steep rocky ascents and descents. I’m back! In the Hudson Valley where I spent over 20 years working, and raising our family. You can’t just hike, or use poles, or hands – now they provided rungs. Didn’t I say that NY is tough. The Hudson River in the distance
