Hike: Up Anthony’s Nose

Sep 22, 2018

—

Gotta love the title as Jeanne Marie and I did a fast hike last Saturday, the shorter version from pullover parking lot area on the south side of Anthony’s Nose (for the uninitiated, Anthony’s Nose is the rock face overlooking the east side of the Bear Mountain Bridge. This is a shorter hike than going from the old Bridge Toll building that’s now a visitor’s center.

About 2.5 miles round trip – Beautiful weather, a bit warm.

Looking south – those dots are circling hawks!

Trying to crop for the birds –

Jeanne Marie, counting railroad cars?

We’re about 900 feet above sea level.

We’ll be looking to do the beautiful up Bear Mountain hike soon.

It’s a good thing Anthony didn’t sneeze during the hike, otherwise it would’ve been bye bye hobbits!

O dear. Hope you realize that if you’re ever appointed to the Supreme Court TF, Jeanne Marie will be free to try derailing it if she’s inclined.

Antigon I did think about that before posting – and what if I run for the US Senate?

Just beautiful ! I hiked around the lake yesterday. Don’t laugh. I used to do it every day back when I first retired 100 yrs. ago.
But never up the mountain. You go Tom !!!!!!
