A fun-loving offshoot of Cornell University and the New York Harbor School have come up with a set of clues to help young explorers discover how the Hudson River, New York Harbor and Governors Island have changed since Henry Hudson first sailed by in 1609. It's free. The trail begins with an orientation session at the entrance to Fort Jay every half-hour from 10:30 to 5, on September 13 and 20. You're on your own from there, and will probably finish in about 90 minutes. While this is billed as a Scavenger Hunt, it's not the kind where you collect things and there's no prize at the end. All you have to collect is your thoughts about what you discover. To prove your sightings, you could take a camera.
