Excerpt from The Land of Rip Van Winkle: A Tour Through the Romantic Parts of the Catskills; Its Legends and Traditions
SO one morning they all sailed away on the deck of a day boat for Catskill. For a while the talk was all of routes and hotels until a decision was at last reached as to how much time to give to each part of the mountains. Then ensued a roll-call of baskets and umbrellas and sketching tools and other impedimenta. At last they settled themselves down to find they were approaching the Highlands, where a pulsing haze of noon-day heat covered those towering hillsides.
