Hiking in NY - 10/23/10

Daniel and I though it would be a great idea to get out of the city and go for a hike. Get some exercise, check out the changing leaves. East coast falls are beautiful. And you can take this north bound train and hour and it drops you off right by a trail head, Breakneck Ridge.
Well everyone between 20 - 40 who receives an REI catalog decided to come as well. There were close to 100 people on the train with us.
The first part of the hike is climbing and scampering up boulders. So there were tons of people who never even hiked before or were just slow. I felt like i was trying to get out of the subway in down town rather then commune with nature. People had their heads up your ass behind/ underneath you. Unfortunately I didn't have any gas that day, yes unusual, because it would have been awesome to fart in someones face to teach them a little hiking etiquette.
Eventually we were able to get away from the mass of people. Had a nice lunch by a lake. Got some exercise.
In the future we'll have to find somewhere further away if we want to commune with nature.
