Gear To Go Outfitters in Brooklyn, NY has realized none of their customers can actually use the stuff the store sells, so they're running a "Trail Taxi" shuttle service to get New Yorkers away from the infernal clatter of the subway and into the relative-wilderness of some upstate hiking trails.
They're charging like $25 to drive from the city to the Catskills (that again to get back), which is pretty damn cheap considering that's about what I spend on gas an tolls between Camp Truck Yeah! up north and Manhattan. You can check out Gear To Go's destinations and suggested hiking routes .

I should take a photo of this every day, just to show how it gets worse all the time.
