This forest looks like it's just a tinderbox waiting to burn, until it greens up. Taken from Plateau Mountain on Easter Sunday.

On Plateau Mountain the blue trail splits off. My old map says the blue trail should run through Mink Hollow; it appears the trail has been moved with the new signs.

The Catskills make kind of a rim around Tannersville. This picture shows the town and the surrounding mountains.

The DEC has a series of regulations prohibiting camping, that's why they clearly tell you have reached 3,500 feet. This is the second sign I saw climbing Plateau Mountain. The older one was farther down the trail, which makes me think it was put up in the pre-GPS era and the forest ranger put it too low.
