Tom, Anna, Yong Ae and myself hiked the classic loop of SW Hunter, Hunter, Rusk East and Rusk starting on the Spruceton trail and finishing with a short road walk. This was a special day for Anna and Yong Ae as they finished their single season Spring round of the Catskill 35 therefore awarded the first two Spring triangle patches from Hikers Anonymous. Prior to finishing on SWH we enjoyed a catered lunch on the summit of Hunter compliments of Yong Ae. Replete with tablecloth, plates and flatware to enjoy chicken wings, spring rolls with dipping sauce, seaweed wraps with rice, kimchi made with local ramps and boc choi, coconut cookies and ginger tea. On SWH their arrival was videotaped with the two ladies wearing green triangular hats emblazoned with their trail names of Daisy and Wildflower and Yong Ae banging a gong. Plenty of Woo hoos and silly poses were added to the occasion.
