Eight children and six adults departed on Friday for New Hampshire. On the way we had a grand picnic at the new Vermont Visitor's Center. That, in itself, is worth seeing. We stayed at Above the Notch Motel Friday night. There were pillow fights, several "monkeys jumping on the beds", tired adults and excited children. From our motel we had a beautiful view of the moon over Mt. Washington. A tent was pitched in one of the motel rooms as a practice for the next evening. Saturday morning posed the challenge of packing the backpack for the final time.

The highest Catskills, on the whole, are smaller than the highest White Mountains, the Green Mountains, or the Adirondack Mountains. But there are a number of mountains in the Catskills that are over 3500 feet in elevation. Wittenberg Mountain and Cornell Mountain are in that category. Their elevations are 3780 and 3860 feet above sea level, respectively. We drove for two and half-hours to get to our trailhead.

Although at least half of the fire towers operated beyond 1972 payroll records for that period do not seem to exist and the likelihood that any of these records might be found are remote. For that reason this is an incomplete accounting of all the Observers, but it is the most comprehensive source available. Dates are provided for the Observers who staffed the fire towers in the Adirondack and Catskill regions beyond 1972 which were obtained from the books by Martin Podskoch; The Catskill Fire Towers; Their History and Lore and The Adirondack Fire Towers; Their History and Lore - Northern and Southern Districts. Yet these records too are incomplete as they are from the recollections of the people interviewed by Mr. Podskoch.
