Later more than 30 chefs would could up local delicacies for the rich and famous of the day.  Movie’s “Tarzan,” Johnny Weissmuller  once was the lifeguard at the hotel’s pool.  The hotel sits on almost 8 acres over looking its own lake.”

Snowy day in March

The Catskill Mountains looking south by south east towards Slide Mountain and Belleayre Mtn. Ski Plattekill is southwest and Old Clump is North. Love feeling the soft cold flakes on my cheeks (the only part of me not covered) and cold air in my lungs and powder beneath my feet. The dogs kept me moving.

John Burroughs house and burial plot are towards the left of this scene. He supposedly watch sheep in this pasture.
