Panorama!

We went camping again. The food we made was pretty bad, so no food pics, although we ate some awesome galantine, which we didn't make nor took a picture of.

The camp site we were staying at was the worst we've ever seen. The sites were not level and full of glass shards. There were no showers, and only chemical toilets, and the only water available stank like something terrible. Our neighbor campers seemed to be enjoying themselves alright though -- one family projected their favorite Playstation games onto a big sheet and played them at full volume, and the group of Indians started their day with lots of shouting and laughing at 5:30. For anyone thinking of going camping in the Catskills: avoid Hide-a-way campsite in Phoenicia!

Nonetheless, we had a great time.

Especially on the beautiful hike we did. Click on the panorama to see it in its full glory...

Camping in the Catskills, the sequel


Tilapia.


Sausage. With fat dripping (look below the second sausage). Tasty!

Camping again; forgot the camera on the hike. You guys missed some great views.

Camping in the Catskills

Last weekend we went camping in the Catskills. On Friday we burnt some chicken breasts on our campfire.

The next day we hiked up Slide Mountain, and then for unknown reasons we proceeded to go down the very steep slope on the other side (once at the bottom we turned back again, to go back up the mountain, down the other side, and back to Gete).

These stairs were obviously easy, but it got quite difficult when there was a 10 (according to our guide book) meter high vertical rock to get down (and back up...).


The campfired trout that evening was not burnt and extremely good.
