“it’s summer in the catskills, now”
in august 2026, keep good company held their annual creative retreat at the urban cowboy lodge in the heart of the catskill mountains. we spent a weekend swimming, eating, and nourishing.

could route 28 in the heart of the summer be any more gorgeous?
the answer is no, btw.
