I had a lot of big hopes for this trip. I’m writing this about a week later, so bear with me. I went through a pretty terrible breakup about a week before this trip. The break-up was actually the catalyst for this trip to even go down. I asked a coworker and all around great guy, Drew, about some nice hikes and he recommended this area to me. I loved it. Heres the story:
I left Brooklyn around 8:30 to head up to the Catskills. I originally intended to camp at the base of Slide mountain that first day, but the gps on my phone lost service and I ended up at the Denning Road trail head at the base of Table Mountain. This turned out to be an awesome accident that really made the whole trip a lot better for me.
So I park my car, sign in the registry, and drink a tall can of Budweiser before heading down the trail. I also had one in my back for once I had set up camp.
