Overlook Mountain Hotel



for the first time in years and years I'm back to a 40 hour week . resting the last two , today I was ready to get back hiking and photographing , deciding that this summer will be spent re-introducing myself to the Catskills.

heading south to one of my favorite little towns on the whole planet , Woodstock NY , to hike the steep road to the abandoned , burned out hotel , " Overlook Mountain " . in the pouring rain , soaked and wore out by the time I reached the top , it was only a matter of minutes that the excitement took over once I set eyes on this place.

by the end of the summer , hopefully the photos uploaded will give people a pretty good idea of what the Catskills are like , with overlook getting at least one more weekend visit.
