Eeks! Am hoping to get there before Saturday. Hopefully Thursday. But thanks for the warning. If I'm going to get shot, it needs to be because of a dramatic love triangle or maybe while trying to save a unicorn...
LOL re white doves. Can you imagine? They'll be in the car wearing bright orange flight suits and with their slingshots hurling rocks and poop at the hunters... Thanks!

Fellow Catskill trekkers, Actually, Bob, you know the old growth better than I do. When I get a break from my own place, I will definitely want to consult your map. What I will offer Jenny is some very serious advice. Saturday is the opening day of big game season. You are literally taking your life in your hands to walk in the woods on the first day. If you still want to go, wear BLAZE ORANGE. Screaming blaze orange. And absolutely, positively, no white gloves. Maybe also no white doves.

Bob, Thanks for that map. I'm making my plan. And when I go I plan on being an eco-terrorist and finding a fossil. I got a great rock pic. Plus I need some good rocks for pigeon perching. They love them. But they also poop on them. I don't think John Muir would mind this too much. Trying to fit your wilderness definition in the essay into an urban environment. What constitutes wilderness on 22nd st and 7th ave.? It's pretty interesting stuff.... Thanks!

Medium distance (10 miles round trip - is that medium/!) Moderate elevation gain. Looking for old growth. Any water or vista is a bonus, but not necessary. A place off the beaten track would be ideal Encountering no people is pretty much heaven (unless I'm hiking with them!) And, above all, I want to hear chickadees (although I know I can go see and hear them in the Bronx at NYBG...but it's not the same..)

Jenny, How much hiking do you want to do? Distance? Elevation gain? Big panoramas? Waterfalls? Old growth forests? Four-thousand footers? The possibilities are endless. If you recall, I have posted many Catskill images. The Catskills are one of Monica's and my favorite places. I can suggest many places depending on your particular preferences. Also, Carolyn Summers lives in the southern Catskills. If she's still reading the emails, I'm sure she'll also make suggestions.

ENTS, I am going to find a car, get in it and drive 2 hours to the Catskills. Weirdly, I don't know them very well. I've got great maps but just need some ideas of spots to visit. I have plenty of guide books too, but just wanted to check in here first before taking off. Alternatively I could visit the Shawangunks, which are to the south. I've been to the Hudson Highlands, Black Rock Forest, and to Harriman State Park, and Bear Mt. State Park so I wanted to go a little further afield. Any ideas come to mind? I'm sure I've seen recommendations before, by hopefully you won't mind writing again. Thanks! Jenny (and Thompson and Otto and Trina, my feathered dove patients, who will be joining me in the car and a motel! Although, they are slightly wary of going to a place called "Cat Skills". But I promised to bring lots of Roadrunner cartoons. As you can imagine, they love those.) -- Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -- Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -- Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -- Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -- Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -- Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected]
