Subject: Re: Your Fourpeaks visit 07/23/06 to New Camp Date: Wed, 02 Aug 2006 07:24:26 -0400 From: B Rocker To: "Martin (Your Adirondack Guide)" What I found at 4 Peaks was the perfect combination of wilderness and a sense of security. My goal was isolation for a few days, but I didn't own any camping equipment, and frankly, I didn't have a clue where to camp where I would not be in any danger from wildlife, passersby or the law for tresspassing.....and I loathe those campgrounds full of RV's! Your accommodations were charming and I never had that "what did I get myself into???" feeling. Thanks again, Barbara

Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2006 20:16:12 -0400 From: B Rocker To: "Martin (Your Adirondack Guide)" Dear Martin, Thanks so much for your hospitality at New Camp.......that was really nice of you to play Milkman.....and you were right, the bisquits were delicious! Of course, I ate way too many! I wanted to say goodbye, but it looked as if you were either meditating or asleep, and either way I didn't want to disturb you. George, however, allowed me to indulge in some serious petting! By the way, Wednesday morning I hiked up Rattlesnake, and you were right about that, too. It was spectacular! I was amazed by the colors of the fungi in the forest, and I am attaching some of my favorite Fungus Fotos. Thanks again, Barbara Rocker Subject: New Camp Date: Fri, 28 Jul 2006 14:55:11 -0400 (EDT) From: "Martin (Your Adirondack Guide)" To: "B Rocker" Barbara-- Thanks for your most welcome email. The photos are terrific! Have you more to share and maybe others of interest about your stay at New Camp? I would love to make a webpage for you. See examples of Guest Web pages at http://4peaks.com/fgstbndx.htm Some of your really fine photos would make a great addition and would be a nice memento of your visit. Please try and send some (8 more or so). What sort of camera were you using? I'm happy you liked the biscuits plus got to see the view from Rattlesnake. It's quite a sight! Come back next year. Discounts apply.

New camp was lovely, and I only have two suggestions: ~First would be screen doors. It was actually very dark inside, and being able to leave the doors open (without inviting unwanted flies) would have been excellent. ~Second would be to have had one of the shelves left empty so I had room for the books and supplies that I brought. All in all, I found it a very charming cabin, and I really enjoyed staying in it. I think, however, that next time I would want to go farther out....Wolf's Nest or Ridge Camp. I wasn't expecting my cabin to be so close to everything (the road, the roofers, etc.) my goal was isolation. I have lots more pictures, and I would be delighted to have a page at your site, but how large a format do you want them in? I took them in a 6 meg format, but the ones I sent you were scaled down in Photoshop to fit an email. I was shooting in ISO 800 (to get that fast shutter speed) but I was not happy with the graininess of some of the photos.....back to the manual! Thanks again for your hospitality. I enjoyed my stay, and would certainly consider staying with you again.

The size you sent (656x492 pixels) are fine for email and of course for the webpage. If the photos are of plants I hope you'll identify them. Send lots please and include at least one of you and some of the camp. Thanks. Yes. Next visit do Wolf (or Ridge). That's really quiet. But I'll still bring milk or anything else if you need it. I like your suggestion about screen doors. I think one could work for the back door as the door can stay open against the bookcase. I'll see. Best wishes, Martin Subject: Re: I hope you like it.
