> Our NYC metro area received from 4' to 7' of rain.  Trails that cross streams
> may be difficult to negotiate.  Plan acordingly..  and leave pleanty of time
> to turn around should you be blocked on a circular hike and have to retrace
> your steps.
> 
> On the other hand, the Shawangunks and Catskills got very little rain (a
> fraction of an inch) and are still dry.  Catskill backpackers should be very
> careful with fire and note that many of the springs are low or completely
> dry.
> 
> Other news:
> The mountain bike trail in the Anthony Wayne area of Harriman Park is now
> open.  Helmets are required and the trail is one-way.  While hikers are not
> banned from this trail (marked with a white blaze with blue dot), you are
> requested to avoid it when possible.  A free sketch map is available from the
> PIPC Visitors Center on the Palisades Parkway just south of Exit 17.
>  Mountain bikes are not allowed elsewhere in Harriman-Bear Mtn. State Park
> (except, of course, on paved park roads).
