My mom grew up in Philadelphia and always refered to the Poconos as scrubby little hills.

If you go to the Endless Mountains in north central pa, Worlds End / Loyalsock for instance, you really get a sense of the eroded plateau there as all the "mountains" are flat on top - pretty cool

I think it's pretty cool and worth noting that the Adirondacks are the only East Coast mountains that are not part of the Appalachian Mountain Range

Drove through there about a month ago.
Saw some young elk too.
It’s also noted for being dark at night.

That's a very cool photo. The Catskills are as obvious.

Could you put a source/link with that pic? I'm supposed to require it or take it down.
