    NY > Catskills > Overnighter with my son. Abandoned Hotel Ruins, Firetower, Lake!

    Fun trip my son and I took over the summer. Looking forward to going back here in the winter too, awesome spot.

    Nice trip with the son. You can't get enough of those. What was the name of the abandoned hotel?

    Thanks, my son still talks about the ruins every day. Its called the 'Overlook Mountain House'. Not sure if that was its historic name, but thats what everyone calls it now.

    Looked like a really fun trip. The ruins were cool, and it even looks like there places to hang right in the old hotel. That would be a neat place to camp!

    Looked like your boy had a little 'tude when you were asking him about the beavers haha. Glad he got over that =)

    OT: Ever hear from Rob (Backpacking Adventures)? He seemed to have disappeared... we all hope he's ok!

    I like the Bob Dylan quote. This rings true.
