Does anyone know of any Orienteering events that take place in the Adirondacks? I'm looking for something to do June 30th. I'll be in the Gore Mt area but can drive most anywhere.

I'm sure this will happen. "As it stands right now, public opinion on fracking in NY seems to be split pretty much right down the middle and politicians on both sides of the aisle are certainly aware of this" Actually split north and south. People in the south see the $, they have more gas...

Have you looked in Walmart? I know, I know everyone hates Walmart but they do have some good stuff at good prices. I've been finding nice stuff at Gander Mountain and The Bass Pro Shop too. Lots of outdoor stuff, not just hunting and fishing but you do have to wear camo if you want to fit...

FYI Dream Farmer & myself are staying at the ADK Loj the 15th & 16th of June and are taking a crack at Iroquois again. Last time the weather was too bad on top of Algonquin to push on to Iroquois. This is a social hike, I'm older, fatter and slower than ever before but it's still big fun...

On my first few climbs I had no idea what I was in for but I was overprepared. If I were doing Washington as a first climb knowing there was a building and two possible ways to get a ride down I might have pushed on with the Scouts in tow. I also would have half as many adults as Scouts. They...

"Conservation officers and the passerby hikers each helped carry the children in the group, reaching the trailhead about 4:30 a.m. Saturday." Lets hear it for the heroes! :cool: HIP HIP HOORAY......

He did finish the job. ;) Too bad they killed him he could have be used in the penal system. Being eaten by a bear...now that's a deterent. :eek:

That's no way to reward a bear. :D Do we taste like chicken or pork? Too bad he had to go. I guess there is no second chance in a situation like this.

Just found this link, short circuts? http://www.light-test.info/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=100%3Apetzl-myo-rxp-2-2011&catid=37%3Afaq&Itemid=41&lang=en

Still sounds like dead batteries. Were the rechargable batteries? What kind of batteries are you using? Any rust on the contacts? Are the contacts loose? Did the battery or any parts get suddenly warm? Weird? Full moon? Are you a wizard? Wizards and technologhy don't mix. :D

Are you going with a group and what guide services are you using?

I once was walking through some very tall, 4-5 ft, grass after passing some bear poop on the trail. I whistled and sang, my singing is usually enough to scare anything away, until I was in open woods again. Wasn't particullary nervous, never saw the bear. It was a hot day so I proabably didn't...

Difficulty is not the issue. Any hike you are not properly prepared for is the most dangerious. Put that in Backpacker!

That makes it special. Looks like a line at Disney World. At least the trail is well broken in.

The truth can be to difficult to bear, honey.

What I'd like to know what he ate the night before so I never do the same dodo. :eek::D

Thank you for this thread.

Kinda ruins the experience doesn't it? Pay all that $, spend all that time, and effort to wait in line. :mad: Especially if someone shouldn't be there but with the aid of porters, and more money, the ...almost make it. Isn't that special. :rolleyes:

:cool: Without being too specific, I know they are protected, where did you c the rattlers?

Sounds like this mountain is becoming tourist resort. How many people can they get up and down the top in a short window of time?
