I hiked up Slide Mountain in the Catskills. This was 62nd, out of 115, peak in my quest to reclimb the NE111 in my 60s. This will be my last peak before I turn 65, so I'm 54% of the way there half way through the decade.

Nathaniel Lyon Park
This was a Conn. Section of the GMC hike. The CCC trail has been extended on both ends since I'd last been on it. We took the old trail on the southern end, but for the northern end we followed the new trail, which neither of us had been on, not really knowing where it would go. As we'd hoped, it led us back to the Natchaug Trail, but on the other side of our cars from where we'd originally planned.
No trip report for this one.
