Has anybody posted about completing all of the Catskill Fire Towers in one day? Recently, I completed them in this order, unsupported. I carried all I needed for the entire day including water. While there are springs on some of the trails, they were not utilized. It was just myself for the driving as well, not sure if that makes any difference, but here are the basic details of the day.
8/26/17
Fire Tower # 1 - Overlook - Began @ 6:05 am Fire Tower # 2 - Mt Tremper Fire Tower # 3 - Hunter Mtn - via Beck Hollow route off of 214 Fire Tower # 4 - Balsam Lake - via Beever Kill Rd trailhead Fire Tower # 5 - Red Hill - returned to my car at the trailhead @ 6:03 pm
*I also signed into/out of each of the register books for the day, and registered myself on the towers with register books: Hunter, and Red Hill. All towers were climbed to the top as well, but Mt. Tremper, and Red Hill were locked from getting to the actual viewpoint area.
Here is the gpx file from my moves count account

I believe this should be public, but let me know if it is not.
Total Time (including driving between the trailheads) - 11:58:29 Total Time (only ascending/descending the actual Fire Towers) - 7:26:33
