May 24, 2014 Val Kill [Eleanor Roosevelt home]

      It looked like another iffy day when I started out but it turned out to be a nice day.  There were 15 of us including Diana and JC who may decide to join the club.  It was another pleasant walk through the woods with a couple of hills.  There's always the option of adding the rather strenuous trek up to Top Cottage but there weren't any takers today.

      Nine of us brunched at the Eveready Diner and the group rated their meals as an 8.




the stream at the bridge




the stream flows behind some homes





unfortunately someone decided to use this area as a dumping ground...how inconsiderate





some happy walkers!!


at the house


we observed a Canada goose family as they dined and then decided to swim




some of the group spotted a turtle in this water under the bridge as we began-I missed the pic
      I've wanted to walk at Stewart Forest but their website map is very difficult to read; so on the way home, CJ and I checked out a few roads and found this spot that leads to several trails plus a decent map.
