Sadly I still have several of these keys lurking about in my house. Who took these pics and for what reason? Mott, whoever you are, these are some great shots. Thanks for them.

Oh my gosh...I remember those reducing belts! I also was a regular at The Pines throughout my childhood in the 80s and 90s. I grew up there in the summers. I loved everything about it. There was something corny yet so familiar and comforting about it. Every summer I would travel with my parents and grandparents to the Catskills, and I will never forget it. I always met other kids from all over the NY, NJ, CT, PA area, and it was a blast. Some of the best memories I have are from the Pines, and it though it upsets me to see its current state, I'll always remember it the way it was :).

AUGHHHH!

Though I guess you wouldn't care after a few vodka and cranberries. Plus the carpet pattern would hide any vomit stains.

And thusly, the "NO DIVING" sign suddenly became more obvious.

Ew...
I'll just send smoke signals.

Sometimes I have nightmares about 70's decor and wake up screaming ;).

Just kidding.

but jeez...

I don't wanna walk on that carpet.
I don't know why, but it scares me.

I can see it now... CHIA HOME!

Laserdiscs are RAD!

Eugh.

Now it looks that is frozen over with some solid ice...did they leave the pool filled, or did it just flood this much to nearly fill it to the brim?

It's mindblowing....seeing then and now pictures, and hearing anecdotes of people staying here. This place is mystifying, and I can't quite put my finger on it. But I agree with the general concensus - brown shag carpet and a brown tub is like the WORST bathroom scheme ever.

I have to agree with griffyn - sadly, many of the abandoned places on this site are cleaner than my room and bathroom...*runs away*

This is like out of an explorer's dream...coming across this with all the chairs perfectly stacked and untouched like it was abandoned yesterday.

In fact I did have a dream about this place once...but I was someplace else that was near it and I wanted to find it, but I only found some sheds and the pool...*blush* I know I have no life...

Can somone get that fan? I collect and restore them.

I remember as a kid spending my summers in the Catskills and now living back in NYS I can't imagine why I ever moved otherthen school and family is scattered all over the east coast ...
