The Catskills have provided and will continue to provide, as evidenced in the stories that White has assembled, a rare opportunity to explore the uncharted, to experience a true wilderness adventure, and to challenge one's abilities. ? Reading these stories will instill appreciation for the many values this tremendous wilderness resource provides. -- William Rudge, Natural Resources Supervisor, Region 3, New York State Department of Environmental C "foreword"

Synopsis
Eighty-eight mountaineers/writers offer 101 true tales of high adventure in the Catskill Mountain High Peaks. The stories are divided into sections that include: Marathon Hikes, Wildlife Encounters, Wild Weather, Navigating in the Wilderness, Misadventures, Winter Adventuring, Lost in the Wilderness, Mysteries, Reminiscences, and Catskill Mountain Highs. Since 1962, mountain climbers in the Northeast have joined the quest for membership in the Catskill 3500 Club, reserved for hikers who summit all thirty-five Catskill Mountain peaks over 3,500 feet high. Adding to the challenge, four peaks must be climbed in winter, and thirteen of the peaks are trailless. Despite these obstacles, the Catskill 3500 Club has over 1,700 members, and membership continues to flourish. It's no surprise that many seekers after this hikers' Holy Grail come out of the wilderness with tales to tell that run the gamut from exhilaration to sheer terror., Eighty-eight different mountaineers/writers offer 101 true tales of high adventure in the Catskill Mountain High Peaks, as compiled and edited by Carol Stone White. The stories are divided into sections that include: Marathon Hikes, Wildlife Encounters, Wild Weather, Navigating in the Wilderness, Misadventures, Winter Adventuring, Lost in the Wilderness, Mysteries, Reminiscences, and Catskill Mountain Highs.Since 1962, mountain climbers in the Northeast have joined the quest for membership in the Catskill 3500 Club, reserved for hikers who summit all thirty-five Catskill Mountain peaks over 3,500 feet high. Adding to the challenge, four peaks must be climbed in winter, and thirteen of the peaks are trailless. (A special, separate membership badge is awarded to those who summit all 35 peaks in winter.) Despite these obstacles, the Catskill 3500 Club has over 1,700 members, and membership continues to flourish. It's no surprise that many seekers after this hikers? Holy Grail come out of the wilderness with tales to tell. Some of these tales of success and failure, misery and exultation, rejuvenation and near-death, make their way into the Club's quarterly newsletter, the Catskill Canister (named for the canisters the club has placed on the trailless peaks to pinpoint the summits). Carol Stone White, a Club member (summer and winter) and accomplished writer and editor of hiking guidebooks, sifted through 45 years of Canister issues and solicited stories from current hikers to come up with over 100 tales that run the gamut from exhilaration to sheer terror.

This could easily be attributed to extremely poor packing. (Wrapping a thin hardcover book in nothing but a plastic shipping bag is just asking for it to get bent.) However, seller was fast to ship, responsive to communication, and offered a fair settlement and/or refund without trouble. So it was still an overall positive experience.Puerto Rico The Island of Enchantment (English Version) - hardcover Mark Dre... (#388306985319)
