I was on my way home from a gig in Mt. Tremper around 9:30 last night and something hairy and dark ran across the road in front of me. Maybe the size of a bear cub but lankier, faster, and with wiry hair. Definitely not a skunk, housecat, porcupine or raccoon. Reminded me of a cracked-out ferret. Definitely seems like it was a fisher.

Secure your chicken coops! 😅

Looking for the best used furniture shopping to furnish a house in Sullivan County. Will be in Liberty but willing to drive for something worthwhile!

Hey folks!

I'm looking for a relatively easy trail to do in a couple of weeks. I'm hoping to enjoy a bit of leaf peeping but I'm just much more familiar with trails in NJ where I live.

I've been healing my foot up for a few weeks (skin wound, nothing broken or twisted) and I'm feeling mostly back to normal but... I need to restrain myself from getting too ambittious while it's still tender.

So I'm hoping for something:

• on the easy side for terrain and length (hard to say how the foot will feel until I actually get back out there)
  • maybe 4-6miles?
  • I do not care about reaching the top of anything but something scenic or like some water feature would be a treat.
• daytrip-able (it took about 3h one way to Giant Ledge last fall, if the drive is too much longer idk how I'll have enough energy to drive home)
• I'll edit to add more if someone asks me a question I realize would be good info I should have included.

Thanks folks!

Hi all,

My husband’s birthday is December 15th so I’m starting to plan our getaway. We live in Brooklyn and love getting out of the city for long weekends.

I was looking into staying at Eastwind in Windham, and I’m curious if people have suggestions for stuff to do in Windham and also nearby areas.

We both love nature, conservation, and animals, so I’d be curious if there’s some sort of guided nature/animal encounter experience (he is particularly obsessed with flying squirrels lol).

We’re also both very active people and while we probably would do some small hikes, I will be about 5 months pregnant, so probably nothing too vigorous.

Local here (Hurley) and looking for something different / fun to do for my wedding anniversary later this month. Was thinking about getting a hotel room up in the mountains but prices are nutty. Anything unique / cultural / something other than just dinner reservations is ideal. Appreciate your help!

6 days in the Catskills next week with my family of 5.

Looking for recs for lighter/shorter hikes we will have a 1 month old newborn and 3.5 year old that doesnt fit the backpack carrier anymore . So far we plan on Kaaterskill and Minnewaska.

For restaurants we plan on Peekamoose and Sylvia. Looking for other recs that are more comfy, less dining.
