SUMMARY:Outing to Inwood Hill and Fort Tryon Parks\, Manhattan 
DESCRIPTION:November 9\, 2024\, 11 AM to approximately 1 PM\nDistance: 2.5-3 miles\n\nNot qualifying \nWe will visit two New York City parks in upper Manhattan: Inwood Hill Park and then Fort Tryon Park. Highlights of the walk include the Shorakkopoch monument (the rock where Peter Minuit allegedly bought Manhattan in 1626 for trinkets and beads worth 60 guilders)\, dramatic views of the Hudson River and New Jersey Palisades\, the Cloisters (although we won’t go in)\, and the Fort Tryon heather garden. \n\n\n\nBoth parks’ paths have potholes and are hilly\, and Fort Tryon Park can be quite windy\, so plan on wearing good walking shoes and bringing an extra warm layer. \nTo get to the start of the walk by subway: Take the 1 train to the 215th Street station in Manhattan. Walk North on Broadway to 218th Street and then West toward the Hudson River. Pass the Columbia University Stadium\, Baker Field\, on your right.\nWe will meet at the informal restaurant\, Inwood Farm\, 600 West 218th Street and Indian\nRoad\, at 11 am.\nFort Tryon Park ends at 187th Street and Fort Washington Avenue. City buses start there\nand end up quite far downtown. The A train station is right at the Park entrance; the 1 train\nstation can be found at 190th Street and Broadway. \n\nLeader: Larry Budner\, lbudner@mac.com. Email me for a fuller description of the outing.

SUMMARY:Outing to Governor's Island
DESCRIPTION:Distance: about 3-3.5 miles\nTime: about 2 hours \nNot qualifying \nWe’ll take a short ferry ride to a 172 acre island located a few hundred yards off lower Manhattan to walk Governors Island. The walk will take us through natural areas\, along former Coast Guard housing\, and up a very small (70’) hill to great views of the Lower Harbor. Good chances for bird spotting and public arts too. Maybe even a cruise ship sighting at the Brooklyn Terminal across Buttermilk Channel. \nGovernors Island was a military post and later a major command headquarters United States Army from 1794 until 1966. For the next 30 years\, it was home to Atlantic Area Command\, the U.S. Coast Guard’s largest and most complex installation in the world.  In 2003\, the island was sold and transferred to two parties: 22 acres\, designated as the Governors Island National Monument and administered by the National Park Service; and 150 acres is administered by The Trust for Governors Island. \nArriving at Soissons Landing ferry terminal on the island\, our walk passes Castle Williams (1811) on our way to Colonels Row. Then we’ll head to Hammock Grove and the Oval\, over to New York Harbor High School\, and then along the promenade facing Ellis Island and Liberty Island. A short walk up to Outlook Hil\, at 70’ the highest point on the island\, followed by a stroll through the Hills section and Picnic Point at the breezy end facing the lower bay. Next we walk along the Brooklyn facing side and over to the South Battery\, Parade Ground\, and Nolan Park where officer housing still stands. Fort Jay and a public art work ­The Field Sta­tion of the Melan­choly Marine Biol­o­gist are the last stops on our walk. \nWear walking shoes and warm layers. Heavy rain will cancel. Bring lunch if you’d like to stay on the island\, as there might be just a few vendors open at this time of the season. \nMeet @ 9:30 on 11/16 inside the Govenors Island Ferry Terminal at 10 South St Slip 7\, New York\, NY 10004. It’s near the heliport\, just a minute north of the South Ferry. 1\, 2\, 3\, 4\,  5\, N\, R and WW trains are nearby. We’ll aim for the 10:00 am ferry which is free. \nLeader: Marty McDonald webmaster@noany.org or phone 646-232-7203 by Friday November 15.
