The Things You Find at Skytop

Today, I taught a New Paltz 6th grade program, Water: Concerns & Solutions. This program is pretty awesome as the class hikes around the Mohonk Mountain House property and tests pH levels from various water sources. The program samples at the lake and up at the Skytop Reservoir. A highlight of the program is to hike up to Skytop, not via the Lemonsqueeze, but up some pretty steep stairs on Sky Top Path. Once at the top, the students are able to enjoy lunch and explore the Skytop tower. During their exploration, a Katydid greeted us! So I snapped a photo of it, of course posting it to Instagram, and later on today, the Mohonk Mountain House reposted it! I really love the Instagram social media platform. The Preserve uses my photos and reposts my photos all the time, so having my posts reposted elsewhere is pretty awesome! Love being a local photo celebrity! Just kidding.
