I just camped out at Heart Lake this past weekend and walked over to the information center, took my pack off and placed it on an ADK chair and noticed a plaque on the chair. I read it and did a double take. Tom "Teejay" Jenks. He loved these mountains, sit here and rest with him. Its been a...

Hi ladies, I'm trying to buy some snowshoes for my 21 y/o daughter with a size 5 1/2 boot. The MSR's I checked out in a store don't fit well with the straps. Can anyone offer any opinions on snowshoes for a young adult with small feet? Thanks Coldfeet Hmmm, me being coldfeet, she...

Hi guys, I went to the New Jersey Pine Barrens this weekend, paddled/camped on the Mullica River. App 11 miles long but we stopped and camped at the 6 mile mark. Reserve America sites. Water was real low and I took a two friends and fun was had by all. Of course I fell asleep at 9pm and...

Wanted to say hello to everyone out there. VFTT got me involved with so many activities over the last 12 years that I'm so thankful for, except for the bad knees which probably would have happened anyway if I was a couch potato. So since having the knee issues and trying out the views from...

My condolences to you and your family, I am so sorry.

I came down with vertigo last summer, not fun. Inner ear problem. Hope you don't have that.

Happened to me last summer while working at a sleep away camp, scared the heck out of me. Docs gave me some type of motion sickness pills, took about 2 days to get better. then it happened again around Oct. Went to ear dr and all ok. I put off the balance test which was stupid on my part...

Hey Chip, I know thanks. I would like to go back to that shelter on the AT back in CT one day or some other cool places. Snow is melting and paddle season is starting, maybe a paddle on the Great Swamp in Patterson NY for a gathering one weekend when it warms up. Keep me in the loop. MylesLI...

I just sent out a thread and it got erased! waaa....I camped out there 3 weeks ago, temps were app -8F. I had a sled and ended up using it for a rescue of a 14yo boy wih an ankle injury. We helped his father pull him to the Loj. Then we went back to finish setting up. Ate some chow and went...

Nope, you have to wait about 8 more months! But I will have a sugary surprise when we go out in December.

Went there for my first time. It was a 10! Went with my daughters friend, his first paddle trip. Lucky guy, weather was perfect. We camped out at site 17, he fished while I prepared dinner. I do love to eat well on paddle trips. Chicken, veggies, pasta, rice and other goodies. We paddled...

Thanks Matt, will send you e mail hopefully tonight after seeing my dentist :(

Driver8, I love CT! That's where MattD is from and where I grew up during the summers as a kid. Just talked to friend about hiking part of the AT some time. Would love to have some company when the time comes.

So would you like to know how it was? Fantastic! Arrived at Barnes Field Thursday with Mike (MOC on ADKhighpeaks) and set up tents and shelter. Clouds came in and we had a little bit of everything, rain, sleet, hail and snow. While we were setting up Lefty E came by to say hello and wished...
