It was another beautiful day for walking. There were nine of us, including a guest: Lee's daughter, Janet. We followed the red trail which provided a wider loop than the yellow but it still turned out to be a rather short walk.
Five of us enjoyed brunch at Perkins in Wappingers. After, CJ and I went on a mini tour. I needed to go to Hyde Park and, after completing brief business there, we visited Pinewoods and Hackett Hill parks. We're scheduled to walk there in August and they appear to be relatively short walks. Then we visited the Beatrix Farrand garden at the Roosevelt Estate and, lastly, we stopped at the Orange County Arboretum. Since I didn't take many pictures on the walk, I've included some pictures from these two places also.
