We
would like to thank our parents, Daniel and Cecelia Lewis and Sharlene and
Clayton Copeland, for cheerfully offering their child-care services while
we completed the field work for this book. Thanks also to Neil Zimmerman and
Daniel Chazin of the New York—New Jersey Trail Conference for reviewing
the hikes. We also appreciate the efforts of Donna, Margaret, Marge, Rick,
Kyle, Mike, and the other folks at The Mountaineers who have work so hard
on our hiking guide series.

I'd
like to thank the trail buddies who came with me on the hikes in this book.
My husband, Joe Buff, has accompanied me on many a hike in the Hudson Valley.
I'm particularly grateful to Maarten Reilingh and his kids Nick and Maggie,
and to Isaac Nicholson and Casey Shea. They are all tireless hiking companions,
full of laughter and fun.
