On patrol: Olana and Mount Merino just before sunrise
August 15, 2015
Riverkeeper Team
Leaving Catskill for Waterford this morning with the sun starting to rise behind Olana.
Quoting from “The Hudson River Water Trail Guide,” 7th edition:
“Olana is on Mt. Merino, which is made of gunflint chert, a half-billion-year old rock composed of the hardened skeletons of millions of tiny organisms called radiolarians.”
That helps me keep things in perspective.
