Long Path-Joslyn Road to Doppler Radar(Town of Berne, Albany County)

Did a short evening walk along a quiet stretch of the Long Path in the hilltowns of rural Albany County today.  Parked along Joslyn School Road in East Berne near an old, abandoned farmhouse and headed out, crossing through open fields on private property.(Elevation 1480 feet)

On the far side of the field, the trail enters the woods continuing through private property and passing by old stone walls.

 After a little more than half a mile, the trail jogs west, where it begins a more gradual climb.

 

The trail utilizes various woods roads as it meanders its way up through a mostly hardwood forest.

Arriving at the Doppler Radar Station at the end of Woodstock Road.  This was also the high point of the hike at 1830 feet elevation.

Turned back from the Doppler Radar station and retraced my steps back to the car for a total of 3.2 miles RT, with 350 feet of ascent, and didn't see anyone else the entire time.
