"rpRAVEL, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of J- experience." When my Lord Bacon wrote this, in 1625, travel was a matter of hardship, not to say peril, and a costly luxury that but few could enjoy. To-day, everyone travels. The incentives to travel are so great, it has been made so comfortable and even luxurious, and its expense so reduced, that the American people in particular has become a nation of travelers, and some ' critics have felt caUed upon to expostulate against ' the vagrant spirit of the age."' But, while pi'Otesting against "all this pui-poseless straggling and globe- trottuig,'' it is admitted that "it is instructive to have seen the world and to know what is in it. It gives the means of making comparisons, imparts culture, and opens the eyes generally." So we need no dissertation upon the advantages of travel, nor is any excuse needed by the slave of business, the devotee of society, the wearied housewife, nor any whom the complex, engross- ing, and driving duties of modern hfe impel to seek rest, change, and recrea- tion. It remains, then, for us only to briefly point out to the reader that we bave endeavored to make this little book a practical guide to the intending tourist, whether he be a novice or a traveler of exiDerience. We endeavor to give, as fuUy as our limits permit, the most essential information relative to the chief summer resorts of the North and East, the various routes to them via Chicago, Toledo, and Detroit, and some description of the scenery of the coimtry traversed in reaching them. The Ust we present is more extensive than ever, and embraces some of the most interesting and charming regions of om- country, while the various routes described can not easily be sm'passed, either in delightful scenery or in ease and comfort to the traveler.

  • Local Hiking Trails Walking Paths Along Esopus Creek / Emerson Meadows Please Enjoy a Moment Taking in the Surrounding Nature
    Local Hiking Trails Walking Paths Along Esopus Creek / Emerson Meadows Please enjoy a moment taking in the surrounding nature. We have a small viewing pond and there is a path along the Mt. Pleasant Road spillway from which to watch the Esopus Creek. You can follow the road down to the old bridge over the Esopus. There are a few paths down to the creek for exploring. Our property also features many acres of rolling meadows for hiking and exploring. The Woodland Trail, which starts near the Ralph’s Café outdoor patio, passes through a pine grove on its way to our sporting fields. Esopus Creek Maurice Hinchey Catskill Interpretive Center The Interpretive Center is a new facility providing stewardship and information about the Catskill Mountains. There is a sculpture art park and they have many displays for regional education, history, and conservation. Inside you can see an impressive 3D projected topographic model of our Catskill Mountains. Venturing outside of the Center, you will find a short series of simple trails. There is also a short network of well-maintained walking paths through the surrounding woods, including two loop trails – The Old Field Trail and the Winnie Farm History Trail. Both are flat and easy to walk. The New York-New Jersey Trail Conference completed a new trail up the hill behind the Catskill Interpretive Center. It is a half mile hike up the trail to a picnic area with views of Mount Pleasant and the Esopus Creek. You’ll also find a path that leads across Route 28 and through the woods to a public fishing and scenic area on the Esopus.

Our priority is the health of all members, guests and staff. Following public health guidance in regards to COVID-19, the Board has decided that we cannot take the risk of such a large public gathering as the transmission of the virus is spreading so rapidly. We hope to have the dinner in the summer or early fall and will update as things develop. For those of you who have already sent in checks, we will shred any checks we have received. Recent finishers, we hope to be able to present your certificates at the rescheduled dinner or be in touch with Dave White to have your certificate mailed to you.
