April 19th 2025 - Sentier Tomifobia nature center - Ayers Cliff, Quebec - 3.6 miles, almost flat

This was a nice leg stretcher after a day of visiting Brian's family in Vermont.  Ayers Cliff is very near the part of Vermont where Brian's family lives but I'd never been before.  The trail we walked paralleled the Ticehurst stream which wasn't super exciting but the quiet Canadian landscape was relaxing.  

Saturday March 29th 2025 - Orange Trail - Mine Kill state park near Blenheim NY - 2.1 miles, 350 feet elevation gain

I'm very late in writing this up.  It was a short hike that we managed to slip into a rainy March day.  The main destination for the day was actually the Blenheim-Gilboa Power Station .  Being almost into the Catskills, this was a much longer than usual drive for a day trip but it was perfect for filling up a rainy cool day. This was nice, well developed state park and it was pretty much just us there on this day.  The power station was also deserted and we got a personal impromptu tour with a very charismatic and knowledgeable docent.
