Thanks, Andy!

Well, we're thinking the 46 is just a good start. :) We're working on the Catskill 35, particularly interested in getting into some real bushwhacking; Fran keeps talking about the "next round", winter 46, etc.; and we're also very interested in hiking in Vermont, N.H., and Maine, although...

After a decent night's sleep, considering the anticipation of our big day, we met Snickers at the HPIC at 6am, and were on the trail by 6:10. The weather was damp and dreary to start, with a light rain falling for part of the hike to Marcy Dam...this was not the forecast, so we remained...

Got an early start from Saratoga, where we had spent the weekend at a jazz festival. Along the way we met BillB at the High Peaks Welcome Center -- upon learning we were headed for Basin, he said, "big hunk of rock!" He wasn't kidding! :eek: We left the Garden at about 7, making good time...

Thanks for the green, skiguy! Allen is quite a mountain, and quite a hike!

Thanks, Yvon. We'll soon be joining you and Annie as couples who hiked all 46 together!

Thanks for the green! Great day on Allen. Even greater 30 years with my honey!

Thanks, Alan. Happy 40th anniversary to you and Barbara tomorrow!! BTW, I also put up a full TR here on VFTT. http://www.vftt.org/forums/showthread.php?p=348317#post348317

Thanks, Tom. We had quite a day. Unbelievable views up there!

Hudson and Opalescent Rivers very easy to cross. Water no more than knee-deep. Water shoes recommended. Plenty of mud on this hike, so you may want gaiters. I probably should have put mine on, as I did step in over my boot-tops several times. Blowdown not bad, everything pretty easily managed...

Fran (Muddybottom) and I had scheduled this hike twice already and were forced to cancel; last August because I had an ingrown toe-nail and this March due to late winter flooding which made the rivers impassable. As we were starting to think about our hiking plans for this year, we thought that...

Thanks, Rob. We're hiking Allen tomorrow. Saw a nice little weather window, so we're driving up to Long Lake tonight. I'll post something Friday!

Thanks for the greenie, Rickie!

Thanks, Rob! Hopefully on to Allen this week!

Thanks for the green! Glad you liked the TR.

Thanks for the green...glad you liked the TR.

Not sure yet, Rickie. Waiting for the Hudson to come down a bit.

Thanks, Lefty. You'll love it!

That's the same time we're going to be at Random Scoots. Hoping to get either Allen or Basin before that trip. Then finish with two hike, preferring Gray/Skylight for our finish.

Hey buddy, thanks for the green! I'll call you when we decide to go for Allen -- we'd love to have you along! Maybe next weekend (June 18 or 19) if the weather is looking good. When are you going to Jersey?
