Sorry me missed your finish, we (Gary, a friend and I) were visiting the trio this past Wednesday. The weather was absolutely perfect if the trails and herdpaths were not! And yes you certainly do not need to mail long trip reports to the Historian Office if you do not feel like it to be...

We visited the three yesterday with perfect weather conditions. Last mile to Bradley was the worse section of our loop (Panther, Couch and Santa at the end of the day).The Bradley Pond beaver crossing offers a couple of shaky logs floating in 5-foot deep water. As there was an extremely easy...

As text was too long please go to the above Trips and Events section. Thanks.

(...) continues from above: About the tough ones: Spencer: “The most difficult bushwhack, about 5 years ago, was descending from Rocky Peak Ridge, starting from Route 73. To the Dipper it was an extremely tedious and exhausting hike. And the very last one to Skylight from the Redfield herd...

“If you do not climb mountains it has been said that it’s pointless to ask a climber why he climbs. The non-climber won’t understand the given reason anyway.” Grace Hudowalski Does it need to be fun to have fun? NO says Inge Aiken 100W #4 / NO says Spencer Morrissey B 46 #2 A few days ago...

Yes, the ridge is very open with views here and there alternating towards North and South. On one of my visit to Middle Fishing Brook we came form the West (Tongue Mt. col) and it was incredibily open all the way to the summit. And there too one could see that it is a large moose population habitat.

Gorgeous pictures, what a treat, thanks for sharing!

Yes, they are great hiking companions, sort of bushwhacking around a small airport! Actually there was as well numerous moose droppings and not of the chocolate sorts, but we never saw or heard any moose during our walkabout. Probably why the moose flies were so happy to see us.

Basin's amphitheater is a pretty neat place. Odly enough it is a very easy bushwhack to get to it, above is another story altogether! So there are lists and there are Lists and there is the list that counts which is whatever goal we set for ourselves. How could it count for somebody else, since...

Neil, Now, if like it is the case with Hough (and a few other High Peaks) I have in winter and in summer bushwhacked up and down same trip (and several times to make matter worse) do I have to do the same for all of the 46 to be able to say that I have bushwhacked the 46 since I did, even though...

Pete, I believe at times you could barely see in front of you the way you were collecting a large varieties of species around your head! It’s just too bad you felt like sharing them at times since you really did not need to... The huge horseflies were the worse by far. Good thing the zillions...

I believe JW went down the mountain bushwhacking for some and he certainly was not into setting any rules or going for any kind of record, just out there having a grand time!

Bravo Spencer! That is a lot of tree hugging!

Great an ADIRONDACKISH SECT is soon to be! For sure NBC/ABC/CBS will let go of track and fields and downhill skiing competitions to present 24/7 climbers speed whacking from peak to peak to peak to peak...! Neil, there is big money potential for you out there, you could have a reality show...

Bushwhack is great in the winter but rather tedious/scratchy in the summer.

"When I get to the summit I'm usually quite happy to pull the plug and follow a trail out" That says it all!

John Winkler will for ever be the one and only that really counts!:D Actually the only REAL bushwhackers were the one who ploughed throughout the Adirondacks in the 1800's...

Moving day for a house in peril Landslide threatens Essex County property; building taken to another part of lot http://www.timesunion.com/local/article/Moving-day-for-a-house-in-peril-1422689.php

From Garden Parking lot ($7) to .4-mile from Van Ho intersection trails are quite dry and in excellent conditions, drainages including John Brooks are running low but black flies and mosquitoes are very agressive above 4000'.
