I hope the guy & gal at the Slide Brook campsite from last weekend are members and read this.
I was up last weekend with 2 other adults & two boys to hike Dix on Saturday and Macomb on Sunday. We hiked in Friday night in the dark. The camp site by Slide Brook only had one tent and they (the guy for sure) were not willing to share the campsite. We should have stayed anyway but the other two adults didn't want to create a tense situation in front of the boys. The best I got was a begrudgingly weak response of "I suppose so.", we I asked point blank.
We found a place to set up our tents, albeit illegle, just past the lean-to, which, I might add, had room for two and was willing to share.
Hay folks it's was a big holiday weekend for hiking & climbing. Lots of people in the woods. The're public campsites. If you two love birds wanted a place all to yourselves find a smaller place to set up your tent. Turning people away in the dark is poor form.
Other than that it was a glorious weekend. One adult and two of the kids bagged their first high peak on what was one of the best weekends I've hiked in a long time. I'm glad their first was on such a fine weekend.
In the car on the way home they all called home and the excitment in their voice as they talked about their experience was heart warming.
