So, you did some popular hikes and if you did Willard and Avalon on the same day, that's over 2,000 feet + of elevation. Parts of Field and Tom and Tecumseh are moderate to kind of steep in places. if there are hidden gems, you run the risk of them not being well packed out and you may find...

I would have to think the two lots would be Falling Waters/OBP and Lafayette Place. One staff member on each side with the ability to provide some back up quickly if needed. Maybe a three-person team so they could have a break from time to time. If they are paying 90K for the shuttle, perhaps...

As some have alluded to, we've pretty much have beaten the "Are trail runners prepared" bit into the ground previously. As the choir knows, April, July, October and January are all very different. I'd agree with the impatient part. Everyone should hike their own hike is a hiker saying, is...

We can only base our opinions on what we have seen and our experiences. While never arrested, weekends from 17-21 (18 was the age) often involved bad decisions on drinking and driving. (Like accidents, some who drink and drive may get caught the first time and others go years or decades without...

The video is two years old and the comment attached pretty much summed that up: "Just a quick question, Where are they supposed to put their paramedic equipment?" Since someone mentioned putting horses down, they could carry a handgun and a quick assessment could be made, if they were...

Sadly, this probably would be an effective and doable option. BTW, I hate it. Sierra, haven't virtually all drivers seen horrific DUI crash videos and funerals of people impacted by DUi accidents and yet....

Funny how jet pilots are. Had an uncle who parachuted for fun and his uncle who flew planes. My great uncle never understood why anyone would jump out of a perfectly good airplane.

Dropping a map and compass off to someone not able to read the map or use the compass or if they don't know where they are on the map, makes these things useless. If they have a lighter, I guess the map could be used to start a fire. Several years ago, a group went up the Tripyramids, they...

Correct, and the vast majority of lifeguards train and take the job seriously. I grew up at unmaintained beaches and we all swam well, took lifeguard training in New England. If I had a knock on LG's is that at the Jersey Shore, the beaches and water access is monitored like BSP. That's...

None of us and certainly no SAR folks want to see anyone die, no matter how reckless or stupid. You'd hope the guy standing in front of a truck would move. You would hope people attacking a rock face with no gear, knowledge or skills will turnaround before they fall to their deaths. To Dug's...

As neither a Social Media poster, except here and NETC and ADK High Peaks Forum, or a NH resident, A and C are appealing. For all these yahoo's posting everything they do to try and be Social Influencers, they should pay something for filling up all that bandwidth with the 65 W-D pictures.

As mentioned, it's scenic. We did a client trip once from Utica part of the way to a restaurant where we took clients to dinner and then took the train back. We may have leased the train for that event as it was a weekday evening in the early fall. It was a very well attended dinner. It...

Even if they would have kept the old lines they converted to rail trails, they ran to the larger villages. Old Forge, Saranac, Lake Placid. Speculator, etc I seem to recall an old unused RR crossing when I first went up to the ADK in the early 90's in the area around Marcy Field but I may be...

Back on topic, well I avoided Ian by hiking this weekend in the ADK, crisp cool weather is here, overnight in the north country is expected tonight in the 20's. Maybe a little before peak color but not by much and in some spots, it looks amazing. Wore gloves for the first time this season and...

A great read, in 1997 we were looking at the 96 year I was working PT at EMS with another PT'er who was in the 96 Year for an accident on Cannon Cliff. No fatalities in his case, just a leg injury, (Just? It wasn't my leg?)

Pete H has been on the ADK High Peaks Forum more. One may argue what created the Eisenhower Interstate Highway System, however, we have the ability to anywhere at anytime. I don't have to wait until the train runs from Point A to Point B, I don't have to go to a hub first and then a substation...

I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn last night and I'm not an arborist. Do evergreens make much of a transition? Much of the upper crossings are in an area of spruce and fir with maples and birch along the water but not much higher in the drainage. The 10 Day Gorham forecast I looked at (real...

Small streams and brooks will change quickly, down and up. Have a back-up and look at the weather for the rest of the week. Anything high today is likely going to be normal or low if little or no rain falls between now and the weekend unless it has a huge drainage and Rocky Branch isn't that...

He's been a class act for a long time. If I had a heart, I'd almost feel bad for referencing the brand by one of its nicknames. I may have to buy a fleece top, on clearance somewhere.....:D

Rule one: Don't get caught. Okay, I should have said in the front seat.
