Pine Meadow Lake
The photo below is a view of Pine Meadow Lake in Harriman State Park, NY from Diamond Mountain.
Pine Meadow Lake, the terminus of the Pine Meadow Trail, is one of the more well-known lakes and a popular hiking destination in Harriman State Park, possibly due to its ease of access a relatively short distance from the Reeves Meadow Visitor Center on Seven Lakes Drive (not that Harriman Hikers would ever do a “baby” hike 
…well, except maybe Thanksgiving?
(Per our “About” Page, “(Harriman Hikers) Hikes are intermediate and although no special equipment or experience is needed, hikers should be in good physical shape and capable of hiking 7-8 miles over hilly and rocky wilderness terrain where some hills can be steep.”)
In any case, Pine Meadow Lake, as you can easily see is one of the many wilderness treasures we are all so fortunate to have an opportunity to enjoy in our great outdoors.
…so don’t stay indoors all weekend! Take a hike!

Swimmin’ Holes
Yes, its March and it may be just a little early to actually go swimming, but came across this on the web:

Updated CDC Deer Tick and Lyme Disease Procedures
The Center For Disease Control (CDC) has posted a new link on their Lyme Disease Homepage:
Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) Guidelines for Treatment of Lyme Disease
The lingo is way medical and technical but makes for informative reading.
Threat of deer ticks and Lyme Disease should rarely keep anyone in good health from hiking. With proper vigilance tick bites can be avoided, the majority of deer ticks, tho the bite can be annoying and must be cared for to avoid infection, are not infected themselves with the bacteria that produces Lyme Disease and in the case of an infectious bite, with early treatment the risk of infection from Lyme Disease via a tick bite is negligible for healthy adults.
At the same time it is important to be aware that deer ticks and Lyme Disease do, in fact exist, care must be taken to minimize exposure and that if exposed, proper medical steps must be followed.
