like-minded people. Just two guys in their mid-40s on a vacation from their wives learning the history of the Catskills. The other couples are hipster millennials all off doing their own thing – maybe they were playing Alien Autopsy? I pull out the guest book in my room and quickly determine that guests to Kate’s Lazy Meadow are a fun loving bunch. Just like the motel, the notes left are equally eccentric and fun to read. For example, one Christian couple complained about it being god’s destiny to send them to stay in this motel for the night - he referred to it as the den of shame! And then there are the others who love the alien theme and insist they stay in Suite 3 every time they come. They claim it helps them find the un- known. Whatever that means. The guest book makes an inter- esting alternative to the standard Gideon’s bible and very entertaining bedtime reading. TRAVERSE 56
