"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

AT South from 517 and beyond, did I make it?Based on the AT south route description I made the top of this though I had a summit feature ~.8 miles north that was reading Pochunk Mtn. (in NY state) and another 3 miles SSW reading Pochunk Mtn. NJ. The waypoint listed in the summit post listing refers almost exactly to the NJ waypoint. The land feature I topped out on was on the same ridge as the NY summit and just to the west on what was labeled the Glenwood Mtn. Ridge I managed to get a nice view of highpoint. Boulders at the top were intense and captured in some photos. Not sure what to make of this one, I kept going south and eventually turned up an old woods road to touch the NY peak, the NJ peak was too far off and looks more accessable around the Great Gorge CC area. If anyone else has more info that would be useful. A nice long hike with my dog. Few through hikers today.
