Goodman Mountain - Named after a Mountain of a Young Man - Tupper Lake, NY - Jack Drury

I wanted to hike up Goodman Mt as soon as I read about the trail dedication last week. I was fifteen years old when Andrew Goodman and his two young colleagues went missing. The movie Mississippi Burning brought it all back when it came out in 1988. Andrew Goodman and his colleagues were true American heroes. The least I could do was climb the mountain named in his memory. My colleagues Joe Dadey and Duane Gould joined me on this short (3.2 miles round trip) fairly easy (<600 ft ascent) climb. I encourage you to do the same and try to think back to 1964 and think if you would have been brave enough to do what Andrew Goodman and many other young men and women of that era did.
