This is the Hike of the Week for 6/12/2003 as described on the
NY-NJ Trail Conference website. This is also the first hike where we actually met a national celebrity! Can you identify him the third row? He was out for a hike
on this cloudy Sunday afternoon, just before the arrival of a major snowstorm, with his son and his dog. Yes, that's Neil Cavuto of
Fox News and Fox Business networks. He was such a gentleman, concerned about a stray dog who had joined them on their walk, taking the time to introduce
us to his son. He told me he lives in nearby Mendham.
