Lot of history there D-Man. This is nice spending the day with your family outdoors in the mts and taking photos. It sure beats doing chores.
I used to hike the Catskill Mts. I have some nice photos from yrs of going up there. It is one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world and has a real sense of antiquity about it. You can climb the lower Catskills and pretty much walk North for about 300 miles without running into another person. Straight up to the Canadian Border. There are parts of the Adirondaks in New York that have never been thoroughly mapped. Real wilderness up there. Once in a while you find an old fireroad or logging trail; but not much else.
You ought to take some pics of your local area so we all can get an idea of what it's like over there.
