Long time readers may have noticed that I’m an adventure-in-your-backyard kind of a guy. I wholeheartedly believe that you don’t have to travel far to find exciting, challenging or even just pleasant things to do in nature, even if you live in the big city or, like me, in the suburbs.
The downside of sticking close to home is that I find myself running out of things to write about. Earlier this summer when I paddled Rondout Creek and hiked Plattekill Mountain, I had a great day but we’ve written about these places so many times before, it didn’t make sense to do it again. I could say the same about Harriman Park and the Hudson River.
