There are more bear encounter's this year in the ADK High Peaks than I've ever heard about. They are coming into campsites and occupied leantos, with one growling to chase a family out of a leanto. Rangers have been involved, but so far as I know, none have been euthanized. Rangers used rubber...

The only permit so far is for one swimming hole in the Catskills. DEC is afraid to do anything that would slow down the governor's campaign to bring in visitors. I think permits are on the horizon but down the road.

Long time no see. Welcome back.

They have striped and are about to enforce parking. Lot's of safety complaints about cars parked along NY73, and people are pooping everywhere along the trail or just off. Read some of the FB hiking forums and hair on fire complaints about the impending regulations.

It's unfortunate that NYS is not spending even a small amount of tourist money on bathrooms, rangers, etc. Don't expect we'll see that unless there is a huge outcry.

900 went into the water....

The Taconic Crest trail end-to-end one day hike happens every two springs. I was the co-director for 10 years. Volunteers move cars and bring water to cols along the way. It's a great event. The map was designed by cartographer, Liz Cruz and it doubles as a work of art.

Northern terminus is in VT. There's a terrific trail map to the Taconic Crest Trail.

Come earlier in the day and you'll find quite a few cars in the lot. Very popular with Canadians.

Congratulations !

Joe, my IT guys were able to get TOPO To run on my Win10 computer so with both the 60 and 64 units, I get around the problem by downloading tracks from handheld menu to TOPO and save as .tpo files as we did on Win7 on Natl Geo maps.

Thanks to Joe B, he showed me how to still use the 60CSX with Win 10. Using the 'handheld' menu item, I can still use the National Geo software as in the Win 7 days.

I'm going to step in with my two cents. I'm a Facebook friend of Alton's but have never met her in person. My dog, Toby is a Therapy Dog. She has gone through the training and passed the exam, and has a registered number with Therapy Dog International. As such, I take her to the local library...

Can Win 7 be run on a Win 10 computer? Virtual Box?

We kept our Win7 desktop for a 'just in case'. Our Win7 computer would lock up and crash so often it got difficult to use. OTOH, it was 6 years old and really, really, tired. Other than the PITA updates, Win10 has been great, never crashed. Microsoft will no longer be supporting Windows 7 in two...

I have the 100k countrywide CD and the Eastern US 24k, so I can load maps to the replacement. I use the tracks overlaid on Nat'l Geo topo maps for hiking articles I write, for my guidebook, and for two other guidebooks I'm working on. Probably going with one of the 64s, either the SC or ST. Wish...

I just got off the phone with a 3rd Garmin tech to double check that a 64 is compatible. She also had a 60CSX that no longer works because of Windows updates and drivers. Your 76 could have some different internals so you might get ready. This is a painful switch I'll be losing both 60's...

I think the buyers will be disappointed buying those 60's if they have PCs with Windows 10.

My original 60CSX is still going strong other than the buttons being worn white and the antenna brace broken. The back up has only been used on a handful of trips and looks like new with stiff buttons. I really dislike the Basecamp maps. When we got a new PC, moving from Win7 to Win10, Win10 no...

We have a great I.T. guy who sets up and customizes our computers. I just got off the phone with him. He has another client who had the identical issue. My guy tried everything and could not locate a way to get it to work. He said the only thing we could try would be to roll back the last...
