This past weekend we took Dave's advice ( @BlueFoxCA ) and braved the rainy forecast for a belated Mother's Day trip to the Gunks. The trip was a lesson to us with regard to future trip planning.

While standing on the riverbank by the tyrolean crossing and checking the creek for a way across, my feet very suddenly came out from under me and I landed hard on my rear end, resulting in one of the worst falls I have taken in recent memory. I wasn't carrying anything and have been to that site many times before so no excuses, just a sudden slip and fall. I am still recovering from it but am glad nothing more serious
