The Six
Hiking a rugged six peak traverse in the Catskills. -
Happy International Cat Day! Just received my first bad review on my book GOOSE CREEK HOLLER. Pretty harsh, and while I get where the reviewer is coming from, did he actually read the part about the other Southern delicacies consumed by the Appalachian family of Buchnells? It also starts with a "G". I think not, or he might have given a more favorable review and at least a one paw up. And it's hollar, not holler, Mr. Harrison. Sheesh, reviewers. #cats #cat #bookReview #reviews #review #mastodon #fediverse #books #booksky #bookstodon #book #humor #fun #caturday #saturday #goose #goosecreekholler #sophiajanehayden #novels #novel #Southern #Appalachia #Appalachian #mysteryThriller #mystery #writingCommunity #writing #writer #writers #scribesAndMakers #writingCommunity #reading #read #readersofmastodon #readingCommunity #readin2026 #felines #harrison #catskills #words #iamwriting

Not all the towers in the #Catskills Fire Tower Challenge are a “challenge.”
You can drive to the tower on Mount Utsayantha. Which is nice as it’s a two hour drive from my house and I climbed Bramley Mountain before this one.

My phone rattled and buzzed in my pocket. Pulling out, I stared at the message on the screen: “ TORNADO WARNING. Take shelter immediately.”https://lifeasjackcom.wordpress.com/2026/07/30/sleeping-under-the-stars/

Organized by the Catskills #BorschtBelt #Museum, the three-day festival combines stand-up comedy, historical panels, #culinary events, live music, archival exhibitions, and family-friendly activities spread throughout."

Went on a great hike today to Overlook Mountain in the #Catskills.
I am allowed to write this off as a business trip as I discovered a bug in my beta build of Peakist, my peak bagging app.

It is great that the Northern Yellow Warblers return to the samer perch regularly so that getting a good photo is easy.

Touched grass or pine needles actually. Quick overnight in the #Catskills.
Yes, there is a burn ban but campfires are allowed and things were so damp this fire never got any bigger nor did it burn very long.

Each photograph is not only a visual delight but also an invitation to pause and reflect on the often-overlooked splendors of the environment.
