Indians spent summers along the rivers, Hudson etc, and moved inland for the winters. It had a lot to do with fishing. But yeah, Hunter is beautiful in the summer and real cold in the winter. Hunter sports a great ski lodge and some super slopes.

And, for a guy like me, there is always plenty of firewood in the Catskills, to enjoy in the evenings with.

Plus, it is only a two day drive to the Florida Keys.

“Plus, it is only a two day drive to the Florida Keys.”

So true!

We’d normally camp in the fall in the Catskills, and it was cold but bearable; as I understand it, they’ve made many of the areas we used much more accessible with better roads, marked trails, parking areas - totally ruining it for backpackers that wanted real isolation. I guess they were chasing tourist dollars; they have to do something for money (fewer and fewer people care about Woodstock very year...).
