Thousands of families are heading to the Catskills this week, and especially today and tomorrow, for the beginning of the 2012 summer season. Most sleep-away camps get underway during the next week or so.
All drivers, especially those traveling tomorrow, Erev Shabbos, are urged to leave ample time for their trip. Drivers are encouraged to follow posted speed limits, as State Police troopers are on patrol on the highways. The troopers sit with their radar guns, and drivers who do not follow the reduced speed limits in certain zones will be ticketed.

This week? I don’t know about everywhere else, but in Boro Park the boys still have school until next week.

Is there an underlying reason why a picture like that is posted?
JUst wondering…..
How do people afford to go to the bungalow colony while at the same time pay a mortgage/rent?
I didn’t know there were so many rich lazy people, around.
Please respect the year round residents. Every year there are countless stories of Chilul Hashem. The local Rabbonim and year round residents suffer the consequences when the summer crowd leaves. The Catskills is a beautiful place to live in-10 months of the year. Keep that in mind.
Safe travels
