Jim Schug Trail, Dryden

It wasn’t supposed to rain, but there it was, coming down quite hard as we drove out Route 13 toward Dryden — luckily it wasn’t raining at the meet-up

We only do this trail once a year, during hunting season in late November — it never occurred to me it would be a stunning place to look at gorgeous spring scenery

The whole area southeast of Dryden along the Route 38 corridor has a wonderful pastoral feeling — scattered farms and gently rolling fields and hills — the Schug trail runs right through the heart of it

I’m sure a lot of our hikers are really sick of the cloudy wet cool days we’ve been having — but some of our regulars actually prefer these atmospherics — I’d be happy myself if it was always like this
