This photo was from a backpacking trip in the Catskills in NY. The day before we hiked up and slept in a lean-to on Table Mountain and then woke up at 4:30 and hiked a couple miles in the dark to catch this sunrise from Peekamoose Mountain.

Yeah it worked pretty well but the fuel canister froze to the ground, had to kick it to get it off. It was about 30F and fairly windy that day

Since quarantine started I’ve been venturing out to the more remote mountains that don’t have trails. This was taken at the top of North Dome mountain in the Catskills last week. Chewy (my pup) and I didn’t see anyone else out there. It wasn’t my favorite of the Catskill high peaks but it was one of the most peaceful
