The "Hitch-up-Matildas" walkway, bolted into the mountain, harkens back to when guides carried city slickers through the waters. It's a tough hike from the Loj, but a wonder. We shouldn't forget that the acid rain from the Ohio Valley has destroyed fishing on many Adirondack lakes, so that 'newts' aren't just an endangered species in Washington, DC.

I have photos of my father camping in the Adirondacks in the 1930s. It is hard to compare one place against the other, when each has it's own unique features. My advice to all is go our into the woods, learn what you can, enjoy the peace and quite. It is your choice to camp, fish, hike or hunt. What ever you choose, it is better than sitting in front of a TV or computer. Remember "take only pictures, leave only footprints".

It was a great trip. However, I've been told we will no longer sleep in tents for vacation. I can live with that but as we discus this years vacation, I'm pushing for mountain, lake, cabin while the wife is pushing for beach, ocean, hotel. I always loved finding those newts as a kid in the Catskills. Though the ones I saw back then were more of an orange color and had black spots. Music input... Listening to this under the right circumstances can evoke tears. *Wish You Were Here* By Pink Floyd So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, Blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade Your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange A walk on part in the war For a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.

*Wish You Were Here* By Pink Floyd
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We’re just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
