Drove past there 2 days ago... still frozen! Lake Flower had some areas of open water mixed with mostly frozen surfaces. All the other lakes were still ice-covered.

Hey, now, don't do it! :eek:

You're right. I stumbled into an issue that I didn't know existed. Your call on deletion, but I think there are valid issues here that merit having the thread remain, but perhaps closed.

I said they were clueless, because that is an apt description of them. Unfortunately, the title is the one thing that I cannot edit. Moderators - you have my blessing to delete the words "from Quebec" from my title, or even delete this entire thread if you wish.

To all my friends who have been somehow offended by this trip report, I apologize. My intent was to criticize and identify the 2 hikers in question, because I was deeply offended by what they did at the lean-to, and surprised at how unprepared they were. The big saw they carried over the...

I'm not from Buffalo, so I wouldn't care. My response in post #5 explains my intent. Note also that my advanced age puts me at a stage in life where I don't care too much what anyone says about me, but I still don't intend to offend any innocent parties.

My full quote is "As we began our ascent of the WJ trail and approached the lean-to , we came across 2 young men who said they were from Quebec." The two youngsters offered that information and I merely repeated it without any attempt to cast aspersions on anyone else. My intent was to identify...

It 's a bit eerie that we were in the diner where he worked just a few days before he walked into the woods.

Likewise when we were there Sunday afternoon.

I do stills.

Maybe. What's the date - August?

Good point - it's worth it then, but it should be removed.

I noticed that you now can park on the road near South Meadow ("Meadows Lane"), and the "new" Loj Road bridge is in place, waiting for the new connecting road surface to be completed. Note: Being able to legally park on Loj Road there is subject to seasonal change; watch for signs that may...

Well, I hiked March 11-13, and it was a great weekend. We had some rain Friday, but Sat & Sun were excellent hiking days on Marcy. We did defer to the warnings and avoided Lake Colden & Avalanche Lake by exiting via Lake Arnold. Lots of good snow all the way from the HPIC up the VH trail, over...

I hope the book is better than the title... :rolleyes:

Wouldn't translate when I clicked on "U.S. English"; the only thing I could read was "Holy cow!"... That'a quite a rig just for hiking up a couple peaks that you could just come back in a couple weeks and do.

Well, you'll have your choice of all the campsites there! :D

That's cutting it close to ice-out :eek:, but I'm available.
