Oktoberfest 2010 Pt.2

Where I left off.... while at the Oktoberfest, we took a skyride up Hunter Mountain.  This year Hunter was in the process of installing a new 6 person high speed lift while we were there, which meant the lift that was running did not take us to the very top.







 Since no one can tell me I can't get to the top of the mountain, I decided I must walk to the top.

   Wow!! I really did not expect it to be as difficult as it was. It seemed like it took us forever to get just a few feet.


 The views from the top are always worth it, though.
 . At the top of the mountain is a statue of Rip Van Winkle. Rip is well known through the catskills as the story was taken place in these mountains.


 After exploring for a half hour, we decided to catch up with the rest of the group, and began making our way back down to the top of the lift. HA! This wasn't as easy as I thought either, and actually fell a few times. It was really pretty steep!


 We got in line to get back down to the base of the mountain. We were HUNGRY, so we decided to go and grab something to eat.




 Where else, but LAST CHANCE CHEESE in Tannersville, NY!!! Yum!!!!
