I finished the nice, long weekend with a walk at Peebles Island. Followed the perimeter trail (which was a bit muddy in spots) around the island. About a 2 mile walk on this sunny day.

Pine Bush 2
I did another short walk over at the Pine Bush. Parked at the trailhead at the end of Washington Ave Extension. Did a loop on the yellow and red trails. Saw all modes of locomotion - walkers, runners, mountain bikers ... even a unicycle! Howie and I walked about 3 miles.

Pine Bush
I did a short hike Howie at the Albany Pine Bush. Started at the Discovery Center and did a loop around the perimeter. All the interior trails have been closed. The sandy trails were fairly dry. Walked about 2+ miles on this partly sunny day.

Nose
Did a short hike this afternoon with Howie. Climbed Vromans Nose near Middleburgh. Took the carriage road to the top. Hung out for a while and then headed back down. Followed the new connector trail (orange markers) which follows a level contour (around 1060 ft) below the top. Then took the yellow trail back to the parking area. Saw a handful of other people out.
Round-trip Distance: 2.0 mi

Brace
I climbed Brace mountain in the southern Taconics with Howie today. The trail had no real snow or ice. The bright sunshine felt good as I climbed up. Went over South Brace and then Brace. Stopped for some snacks and then headed back. At the top of the waterfall, I followed an unmarked path where I discovered a dead wolf in a tree. Nice day out and saw no other hikers.
Summit Elevation: Brace 2311 ft, South Brace 2304 ft
Round-trip Distance: 4.0 mi
Elevation Change: 1360 ft
