0:00.0	This past weekend, I set out for a solo hike in the Catskill Mountains in New York.
0:21.5	When I arrived at the trailhead, two other hikers, not together, also pulled up.
0:30.4	This area has no marked trails, so any landmark worth getting to is technically a bushwack.
0:39.9	After some friendly solidation, the three of us established that we generally had similar

2:02.4	It was a beautiful day, and the post-hike beer was the next waypoint.
2:07.9	New hike bro and I silently walked around the wreck, taking pictures and video and being
2:14.0	careful not to touch anything.
2:17.9	Our wanderings had put us about 25-30 yards away from each other, and in between us was
