When I leave my pack behind I leave every compartment wide open in hopes of preventing weasel and rodentia incisors from incising my pack.

How many years will it take until there's a QR check-in thingy at every trail head, junction, summit etc. with obligatory check-in so you can be charged trail tolls according to hiking mileage. :D

We set up a poll on ADKHP as well as ADKForum and configured the software to permit non-registered guests to vote. (We also have one set up for registered forum members). Anyway, check it out and increase our sample size by participating...

One of these? Anyway, it looks like Twin Mtn. is the best place to stay. Someone from Fousderando did Jefferson via the Castle Trail on Saturday.

Over the easter weekend (ie. from Thursday to Monday) my wife and I plan on doing some hiking in the Whites and I'm looking for some advice. We would like to stay in a decent motel with a kitchen, somewhere close to the Northern Presidentials or Franconia Ridge. She has never hiked in the...

Finally, after 4 or 5 attempts during our annual winter gathering the members of the ADKHighpeaks hiking forum managed to put a team of hikers on each of the ADK-46 (plus Marc Howes on McNaughton and Paradox on Mt. Jo!). As many had said, given the conditions, if we didn't succeed this year we...

I would be greatly interested in joining this hike but alas have other plans. However, NEXT winter's a whole nuther ball o' wax and you can't count me in.

How about climbing Big Slide from South Meadows Brook? Pretty cool route for a 46er finish. Did the original 46ers have trails to the mountaintops? Did they get chased by packs of coyotes doped with Wolfen DNA? Times certainly do change don't they? I saw and even chatted with a...

Maybe a faster hiking population too.

Aw c'mon. I enjoy reading DSettahrs replies.

I know that I think I understand what your trying to say here, going forward, and like I can really dig it but its going in and out of focus so maybe I only think I know what is it what you're attempting to communicate. Definitely ready to go 100 posts on this issue.

IIRC some time ago (5 or 6 years) the ADK sued the US government regarding a lack of enforcement of the Clean Air Act. (something to that effect). The results of the lawsuit were less acid rain and mercury in the Adirondacks. I renew our family membership every year and as a result Loj...

You don't have to pay for parking if you don't want to. There are free alternatives to Loj parking but you have to "earn it" by walking a little more. :D

We crossed yesterday and by looking at the exposed edge the ice that we trod upon appeared to be greater than 6 inches thick. Open water was easily avoided. The flow rate was quite impressive for this time of year.

When was that never to be forgotten record breaking voyage? Two thousand and nine? Or was it ten? Here's a pic of my remembrance:

We walked the road on Saturday (jan 21). 45 minutes give or take a few each way. It was pretty icy under a thin layer of snow packed loosely by some sort of vehicle. My front WD station wagon wouldn't have made it back up.

Official ADK winter gathering 8 post. Save the date. February 17,18 and 19. Friday night to Sunday at the Ark Trail Inn. Note that Monday is a holiday so you might want to plan for an extra night. Where? Ark Trail Inn, Keene, NY Who? Anyone who wants to come. How? People start to...

Home-mixed protein drink with frozen berries, ground flax and a shot of table sugar. Provides 30 grams of protein. I drink one in the car on my way to the TH and another on the trail. I started this last winter and it has made a big impact both in energy levels and recovery times. With all...

ADKHP is on-line again. The universe is unfolding correctly.

Is there a contra-indication to taking antibiotiques and MonoSodiumGlutamate at the same time?
