You should check out the Pocono areas and the areas around the Delaware Water Gap in NJ, such as places in and around the A.T. and High Point. Lots of nice dayhikes and waterfalls and firetowers... And then also check out the Shawangunks in NJ (just south of the catskills). Of course, not...

I'm seeing some color here in the berkshires... Jay

Date:8/29/14 From:Upper Dam Road trailhead in Wilmington, VT Route: Out and Back via Deerfield Ridge Trail, .3 mile out to spur trail to Haystack summit Ridge trail is fairly grown in but navigation is not an issue. Trail to Haystack Mt summit is in fine shape. Trail between Haystack Mtn...

the viewpoint towards peek/table is getting really overgrown. As the maintainer of that section, I've put it in my maint. report to my handler the last 2 or 3 times. We're not supposed to maintain the viewpoints, plus the branches are too far away for me to reach... The trail to CO from...

My no-longer-sold BD Xenix IQ has a little battery indicator.. green-orange-red that doubles as a light source to find the handlamp so long as there is enough juice to power the little LED.. It is a very good light I still use for nighttime navigation. I'd suggest two forms of light, LEDs...

There are campsites/leantos at Burke Mtn (the ski resort) in Burke, VT that I've stayed at when biking the Kingdom Trails.... http://www.skiburke.com/plan-a-visit/summer-trips/burke-mountain-campground/ Jay

I believe Geigerrig also makes "camelback" like daypacks with a sheath and pocket for the pump tube, etc. My friends had packs from G. as well as the bladders... these packs were small enough to be daypacks and not really backpacks. Jay

Might just have to bring the cat with you.. :-) Jay

My friends on the Great Divide MBR had those hydro bags though without the built in filtration and they liked them, not the lightest, but it was strong enough to last the whole ride for them. Jay

If you're wearing shorts, you could possibly just tie bandanas around the knee, somewhat loosely to help in the few spots that you might use it. The bandanas has multiple uses which may justify the weight and they're probably lighter than real knee pads... Jay

Seems like with duct tape and seam grip, we should be able to make everything! :D Jay

Thanks Doug, I was expecting to probably have to seam seal it at some point. It doesn't get a lot of use but gets carried a lot... Jay

I agree with peakbagger, it really depends on what your intended route is. Suggest to pick a route and try to find a campground around it. It is NOT out of the question to drive around but it is inconvenient in many cases... Jay

I normally put on my bear suit and I hide, waiting for oncoming hikers.. Then I jump out and charge them until they turn around and run in the opposite direction.. Problem solved. :D Jay

You know it when your tent/rain jacket starts to age when he seam tape starts to disintegrate into a horrible mess. Has anybody had a good experience in seam sealing it with either new seamtape or a seam sealer? I have an old Kokatat paddling jacket that gets cooked in my kayak on hot summer...
