I was hoping to hop over the pond and make a rare appearance, but i am afraid my gimp knee and other plans may get in the way. If you stumble across a hungover, limping person in the Daks on saturday, it might be me. Look for the goofy looking *******.

I think there are two differences. Beer and blood-letting trees and scrub. The Dak's have more "trail-less" peaks than the Whites. They also have the Saranac Brewery, I believe, right on Lake Placid and they distribute Yuengling beer in New York also. Two reasons why I love to go to New...

Thanks for posting this information. My dad told me about this rescue in the news the other night. Reminded us of when we helped carry a poor soul the last few miles down to Roaring Brook to an awaiting ambulance a few years back. Definitely a tough mountain. Hope your next trip gets you to the...

Nice pics Marty. My favorite less than 4k hike not in Acadia national park.

Nice trip report. I usually do this exact hike a few times a year, but I start out at the trailhead for Maple Ridge and do it in reverse, which means a bit of a climb up off of the CCC road to re-climb up to Maple ridge at the end of the hike before descending back down. I feel a bit spoiled to...

Nice report! P.S., Man has never successfully won a verbal fight with a woman since creation. I am a bit confused about the intent of the earlier part of this thread. All women are fantastic, smell great, and kick ass.

I bet the kid was ready to make a fire and eat parts of animals or bugs too! Maybe Bear can take this kid on his next show instead of hauling Will Ferrel around in the Arctic again.

I find the whole thing ridiculous. You ski out of bounds, you get lost, and then you sue because someone didn't save you in time? This is the reason that it costs $70 a day to go skiing(the cost of mountains paying for their liability insurance) and why a lot of places do not allow skiing out of...

Congrats on finishing the 46'ers. It's such a beautiful area, can't wait to do this hike that you just did. Nice pics!

I still get dizzy when i recall looking up to the top of Half Dome from the slope a few hundred feet below the top. The cables were down for repairs the day i climbed it, so i skipped the last few hundred feet to the top. The last 1/2 mile or so is VERTICAL. That must have been a terrifying last...

Hi Phil, Glad you had a good day out there. Was the trip powered by the vinda lu? (or however it is spelled, i think i butchered the name)

I decided to head out the Dak's on saturday morning and hike a few new 46'ers. Being out of shape and sluggish from the last month of whatever plague I have been having, I decided to do one of the easier 46'er hikes. The hike lived up to it's billing of being an introductory hike to the 46'ers...

Really? This is a discussion? I want my minute back that i just spent reading this thread. I will never get it back. I just turned 30, my time is precious, the clock is ticking for me. That is upsetting.

Nice report. It gave me an idea of a hike to do this weekend if the rain stops. Thanks!

Thanks. Enjoy your hikes this year.

thanks! Can't wait to go hiking.

Thanks Phil. I am officially an old man of 30 now.

Nice video and pics! I get jealous when i see other people getting some good runs in. Glad things turned out alright, that was a pretty decent size avalanche. No pics of the bikini skiing gal though?

There is a trail up Bald Mountain, check out this link for information and directions. http://www.summitpost.org/mountain/rock/155070/bald-mountain-camden.html Bald Mountain is a cool little hike, it is accessed from the same parking lot as a trail that goes up Ragged Mountain. I lived in...

Cool thread. I hiked Katahdin in the late 80's when i was a little kid and then went back and hiked it a bunch of times in the last decade. I never realized they pulled the old switcharoo on me. I always thought it was the same sign. This is almost as painful as when i heard the easter bunny and...
