Harriman Hikers at Pine Swamp Mine, Harriman State Park, NY 1/3/2010 on YouTube
It was too icy and slippery (thin ice with water underneath! 
) to go up inside the Pine Swamp Mine on Sunday, but some history and some great photos of the mine can be found here:

Update 11/2/2009: A wonderful memorial service was held on a gorgeous Fall afternoon for Harriman Hikers Hike Leader Emeritus, Gene Doleschal on Sunday, November 1st, 2009 at St. John’s Church in the Wilderness, in Harriman State Park, Stony Point, NY. In attendance were Gene’s family, who planned the event, as well as many of Gene’s friends, including a number of Harriman Hikers.
The photo below was made at the West Mountain Shelter in Harriman State Park, NY on a recent hike by Harriman Hikers for one of our regular Sunday Hikes.
West Mountain has an elevation of about 1200 ft and from the shelter, looking southeast, spectacular views of the Timp (the mountain to the left), the Hudson River and several small towns in the area may be seen.
Elsewhere on West Mountain, looking east-northeast, one can see Bear Mountain and the Perkins Memorial Tower; if you are in the right position and you look closely, you can see the Bear Mountain Bridge *just* peeking around the south end of Bear Mountain.

From Harriman Trails, a Guide and History (First Edition), by William J. Myles:
Just a friendly reminder that this weekend, March 7-8, 2009, we start Daylight Saving Time (DST) again. We’ll still meet at our regular time, it’s just that it will be 11:30 DST this time! Don’t forget to set your clocks ahead an hour so you aren’t late, and arrange not to lose an hour’s sleep so you have plenty of energy for a happy hike!
