An article by Amy Winn in the Poughkeepsie (NY) Journal on 14 January 2007 ("Trail, pond, golf course are hamlet's attractions") details some of the attractions of this hamlet along the AT. Of particular interest are the paragraphs about Jim and Carol Reynolds, owner/operators of the Mountaintop Market Deli and Catering Business.
"The market is a frequent gathering spot for Stormville residents, whether for morning coffee or lunches on his picnic tables. In the summer, many Appalachian Trail hikers come in for supplies. The Reynoldses offer them water and, if they ask, space for camp sites." They're located between the RPH Shelter (5 miles to the south) and the Morgan Stewart Shelter (4 miles to the north).
Also of note: according to one of their neighbors, Debra Pagano, "'We fought as a neighborhood one time, because we had a neighbor who wanted to build a 50-foot tower for his ham radio. We were concerned about views from the trail. We fought it and won — it was important to us to keep that pristine look to the area. It can't all go to building,' she said."
