Sans our trip leader, Bruce, David and I all met on time at 9 AM in the DEC parking lot at the entrance to North-South Lake Park. It was a beautiful and almost autumnal, partly sunny day. Our hike along the Escarpment Trail to North Point took us past Artist's Rock, Sunset Rock, Newman's Ledge and Badman's Cave. After the hike, David headed back home and Bruce and I had lunch at Brios in Phoenicia.
It was good to meet new GO friends and to revisit a classic Catskills hike.
