Anyone have experience with vets that do house calls for home euthanasia? We’re fairly new to the area and have an elder cat who is still doing all her cat things, but we’ve noticed definite decline and want to be prepared.

Thanks in advance and tell your cats I said Pspspsps.

Anyone interested in playing a monthly chouette?

I live locally but just found out about shingle gully. Supposedly this hike is by permit only but the Eventbrite from the Sam’s point preserve seems pretty unpredictable and fills up quickly.

Three questions:

Are there any other options for a “legal” hike? Groups, meetups etc?

Do any of those options not include large groups of inexperienced hikers?

For those who have been, I’m looking for any beta you’re willing to share. Like is the route finding hypothetically doable with onX and a decade of climbing experience? And yes I’m aware of the legal risk and the inherit risk of hikes in this type of terrain.

Thinking about spending thanksgiving weekend in the catskills with my wife for a romantic getaway.

We've never been before - I'm considering staying in the roxbury motel for 3 nights. Is this well located? Any good recommendations nearby? (including alternative hotels)

I've looked for this info online but there are so many options / areas, so would appreciate any recs!

Hi, I'm a rookie. Want to go camping in my car (no tent) and am looking at a nice place (preferably with trees) with a nice view (doesn't have to be water at all, high elevation would be perfect) that I can drive up and camp.

Thanks in advance.

Danny Kaye was here at the time so he would have hung out with members of the orchestra.

One member was Maury / Murray Slonin my Grandfather.

Who were these other guys?

Would anyone have more photos from White Roe Lake 1934-1937?

Due to extenuating circumstances they have fallen on hard times and trying to save the apartment for them and their two kids.

Looking for any and all donations to help.

Hi! My boyfriend and I are visiting Windham this weekend but will only be there Sunday-Monday. I’d love to see some live music in the area if possible. My limited googling has mostly come up with places that offer live music Friday and Saturday, any locals to Windham know any spots with music on Sundays? Also open to other recs in the area in general! Thank you in advance!

Hello all!

I started planning some trips upstate and was curious where people go to ride single track. I'm not talking about Windham's downhill park...I'm talking trails that are a bit more mellow with some climbs, hills, etc. for an intermediate-ish rider. Any recommendations would be super helpful!

For reference--I don't have the craziest setup or anything full suspension, just an aluminum hard tail Kona Honzo. Thanks in advance! :)

Does anybody have the contact information for potential snow plowers for Tannersville / Hunter? Looking to prepay for the year; don’t need anything below 3”, and providing all salt myself.

I’ve reached out to some but haven’t had any luck: Mark Rubinger is no longer taking on clients this winter. Tucker of Clean Cut + Lawn care did not have positive reviews from current clients.

TIA!

Hello everyone! We are looking for some contractors, specifically those who are experts in tile installation with immaculate attention to detail, located in/around Catskill/Hudson. Would love your recommendations!

Thanks in advance!

Looking for a restaurant serving either a set menu or a la carte on Thursday, 28th. A number of spots are (understandably) closed. Hoping to get any recommendations.

Has anyone been past the spring on the devils path just west of mink hollow? Going to try running the DP in a couple weeks and hoping it's flowing despite the drought. I'm local but just a touch too lazy to go look myself

Has anyone been camping at alder lake in early November? Last time I went was 2019 during early spring and it was beautiful. Not sure if anything changed since then or what to expect (aside from the basics) since I haven’t been there in so long.

Anyone know of any sauna builders or where to purchase a sauna locally?

As the title suggests, I have one more day of hiking in the Catskills this go-around and would love help deciding on a Devil's Path hike.

I am a huge rock scrambling fanatic and, though I know the Devil's Path isn't exclusively known for scrambling, I am close by and want to take advantage of hiking here!

Any input/suggestions are appreciated! I am leaning towards hiking one or two peaks on the path (no more than 7 or 8 miles maximum). So far I am looking into Indian Head, Twin, Sugarloaf, and/or Plateau -- I would love to hear any thoughts on these and/or others!

Thank you so much!!
