Hot Mulled Cider

My parents have lived in Morris County for about 10 years now. And one of the things on my to-do list for about 10 years now is go to the Hacklebarney Farm Cider Mill in Chester.

They're only open during the day; and my 10am - 5pm calendar is shot through the end of October. So I'm penciling this in on my calendar now...

Saturday, 04 06 Nov. 2010 (give or take)
- morning hike in either Hacklebarney or Schooley's Mtn.
- hot mulled cider at the mill
- lunch at the Long Valley Brew Pub

Lemme know if anyone is interested in any part of this; and I'll keep you in the loop.

I think I'd have to skip the morning hike, but count me in for the rest of the day. I love fall!

Hey, Andy. I had a good time at the lunch you organized this summer at Palace of Asia. If I'm free the weekend of November 6th, I'll definitely be there, at least for the hike and the hot cider.

What kind of a hike did you have in mind? (i.e., easy, moderate, or "iron-man" :) )

...Right now, I'm thinking about doing one of the loops through Schooley's Mountain. It's been a bunch of years since I've been through there, but I recall enjoying the walk along the creek; and I vaguely remember a pretty nice view off of one of the trials overlooking Long Valley...nothing terribly strenuous, but there probably are a few hills and a lot of rocks, so boots or some sort of ankle protection wouldn't be a bad idea.
