Catskills together
Father Daughter Backpacking is a way to get your girls away from the TV and the computer. Hopefully this blog can provide information on trip-planning, preparing meals, some basics on gear (it doesn’t have to be expensive) and ideas on trips with smaller kids. Good luck, keep me posted, and have fun together! Strengthen that special bond between fathers and daughters. CORNELL MOUNTAIN AND MT. WITTENBERG, THE 2 HIGHEST PEAKS IN THE CATSKILL MOUNTAINS! TOUGH BUT SATISFYING!
Getting ready to ascend up Wittenberg mountain and camp on the top!

This will be a work in progress, so bear with me. I’m sure my kids will have lots of free advice! Some of it I might even listen to!

The Trip for Sept. 26 and 27, 2009 is getting close! We will be hiking along the Appalachian Trail in the middle of Connecticut along the Housatonic river. Here is the link to “Great Falls” which we will hike right bye! http://www.ctwaterfalls.com/falls/main.php?Great1. The kids will love this hike; the beginning is flatter than our hike up to Bear Mountain and Race Falls! But there are still tough ascents to challenge them!
Here is another link:http://www.cs.utk.edu/~dunigan/at/m.php?wpt=Limestone.
this later link is about the lean-to we will be staying at. If the girls like we can stay in the lean-to for a change of venue!
Looking forward to another great trip!

I have added an interesting link to the Central Asia Institute’s web site. This is the organization founded by Greg Mortenson. He is the author of “Three cups of tea ” which describes his goal for peace; one school at a time. check it out! https://www.ikat.org/
