Steve Schimmrich, the Hudson Valley Geologist, took advantage of the spectacular weather to hike in Minnewaska State Park on Good Friday.(He got some great pictures, too.)
Having a Ph.D in geology has its benefits: Where most of us probably would have been going, "Oooh, pretty rocks," Schimmrich sees glacial erratics, striations and strike-slip faults. But that doesn't mean he didn't enjoy all 8.5 miles of it.
I have to say that Lake Minnewaska really is a treasure - one of the most beautiful places in the area where I live. Deep blue water surrounded by white rocky cliffs and green pines - on a sunny day, it's incredible and pictures can't do it any justice.
Bonus points for using the word "embiggen."
