Haystack Mountain State Park Norfolk October 2010 [There are other Haystack Mountain pages if you're interested in more.] One way in which I may differ from you: After a somewhat difficult hike out in the Catskills and a two-plus hour drive back towards home, I decided on a whim to climb another mountain.
