Tim On The TrailFollow me on my hike

Jun 13th New York Welcomed Tim with Rocks

…and more rocks!

6/12/15:

This is Maris posting for Tim.  Tim mentioned in a recent post about taking a zero day due to a sore knee and ankle.  He had it checked out by a doctor and he did have a sprain.  He is now wearing a knee brace and wrapping his ankle with an ace bandage and he says it feels better.  He has not been able to hike as quickly and is frustrated by his slowed pace.  He continues to make friends and have incredible trail magic including being able to stay for free at a hotel in Fort Montgomery, NY courtesy of Johnny Gold.  Thanks!

Tim has hiked about 380 miles so far and has about 55 miles left to go in NY.

 

He survived the Lemon Squeezer in NY, an unusual rock formation in Harriman State Park approximately seven miles long.  At first, the trail passes under a giant boulder resting precariously on top of other rocks.  After passing this point the true nature of the Lemon Squeezer becomes apparent as the hiker suddenly gets “squeezed” through a path that is three feet high, one foot wide, and angled 15 degrees.  Beyond are still more interesting rock formations where pine trees grow on top of a thin rock ceiling above the path.

He is camping out tonight at the Graymoor Spiritual Center underneath rainy skies.  Hike on Time — we are with you.
