Brief Escape along the Hudson

I made my way up to Fort Montgomery and set out along the Appalachian Trail with more ambition than sense. Since this was a spur-of-the-moment decision, it went about as well as could be expected given my lack of readiness. My dog and I managed the short stretch we covered, but it didn’t take long to realize we weren’t equipped to push much farther or repeat it anytime soon. Before long, I decided to leave the trail and head toward Cold Spring instead, taking the Hudson Line back down to Manhattan.

I’m tired of the city. I just want to be in the woods. At least there’s always Central Park.

Running belts

Ok so searching for belts has left me bombarded with adds on all my platforms so I’m back with a new buzz word: “No Bounce”. I got a Wilderdog hip pack which is nice but sags too much, the metal clip for a dog leash is only on one side so I have turn the whole thing to get me dog to the other side of me when needed. Also the water bottles fall out often. Sure I need to maybe get smaller ones but they just make it heavier and awkward. It’s probably fine for a normal hike but not in hot weather.

What I’m currently looking for is a minimal running belt that perhaps has a carabiner or something so I can clip my dog leash to it. Worse case scenario I’ll have to just use the dog belt separately but I like the idea of something small that still fits poop bags, water- most of these have a plastic bottle that fits in its own pocket, phone, and a camera battery and maybe keys.
