THE GREAT ADVENTURE FROM
HAVERSTRAW TO TUXEDO.

The tale is told with feeling) of one
party who essayed the great adventure
from Haverstraw to Tuxedo, distance
Of twenty-five miles, when one loses
the trail, but they were comforted by
the thought of the luxuries awaiting
them in the millionaire resort. But
late in the afternoon they threw pru-
dence to the winds and vowed that, re-
CARELESS of cost. they would have the
best dinner that Tuxedo afforded.
They arrived at 4:30 o'clock, only to
learn that there was no restaurant III
the town. Nor was there dining car
on the train which brought their life
less bodies back to New York.
One of the most beautiful walks IS
that covering the region of Hook MouA-
tain. the northern prolongation or the
Palisades about Haverstraw.
Take the West Shore to Congers,
ak a mile north, then follow the ROAD
along the south side Of the mountain
as it turns inland. This road is pretty
and lust bad enough not to be much
frequented by automobiles. After a
few miles one may climb TO the top OF
the trap rock ridge and follow 1t to the
end at Mount Ivy. In June there Is
lot of mountain laurel there, and 1t is
one of the few spots in this vlclnl'y
where the writer has found the pricKly
pear cactus growing. For short
walk one may take the train back on
the Haverstraw branch of the Erie al

further does not matter, one may fol-

TO Spring Valley, or strike off south
westerly TO the main line OF the Erie
