Take a hike
Visiting the local state park on a rare sunny day, we readied for a quality short hike. Sadly, the generally thick and slow BBQ crowd at Glimmerglass State Park aren't the hiking kind, preferring to eat and beach themselves on the grainy beach of famed Otsego Lake. The trail maps are ancient and inaccurate, and markers are poorly maintained until well along the trail.
But you can't blame the uninspired as the trails along the ridge of the dramatically named "sleeping lion" don't offer a view of the lake or the nearby hills, instead just a muddy trek through a relatively thin forest.
More interesting was this little garden tomb, where they house the bodies of unclaimed hikers. Or it might be an old stone shed.
