The more things change, the more they stay the same. 🌸 Maybe the urge for change is not always rational, indeed you would be better to stay the course as long as it's sustainable. Often old and tired ways of doing things are actually the best alternative. Better days ahead as we head into springtime.

2016 Easter Camping Trip at Cotton Hill Lean-To

During the Easter Holiday 🐰 in 2016, I camped at the Lean-to on Cotton Hill.

Waiting for sunset

It was a pretty quiet weekend, 🏠 I saw a few people pass by on the Long Path but other then that I had the whole mountain top to myself.

Saturday night

Carried the heater up the mountain, so I could warm my face in the morning. 🔥 It was mild, but still fairly cold being late March.

Time to get up

The American flag 🇺🇸 I had hung in front of the lean-to.

Nice sunset camping 🌆 up there.

Setting sun

On Easter, I hiked over the Middleburgh Cliff. 😰 Nice day but rather hot.

Schoharie Valley

I always like looking the Pitch Pines 🌲 up top there.
