Memorial Weekend Day #2

Catskills Mountains

Overlook Mountain House (the remaining ruins),
built in 1871 is nearly at the top of the hike,
As I was sweating at the beginning of the hike up
the mountain all I could think of was how did they
get everything up here in the first place?

Along the way, Dave stopped to see one of the butterflies.The name of the trail comes from the amazing

view at the top "overlooking" the mountains. It

was awesome, so we took some pics!

More views from the top. Although quite tired after the hike, we decided

to go find a lake or a river or something. The lakes we found, while

beautiful were either privately owned or had big "don't trespass"

signs. So we settled on one of the rivers on the side of the road. Saffron is jumping along the pebbles.
