I've tried Jefferson in winter a few times in the late 90's. Never made it. I think it was SherpaKroto who, like Giggy, needed a half-dozen attempts or more before he made it as well. I have a feeling I'll be skunked again. But that's ok, makes the eventual victory all the more sweet.

Just don't ever share a tent with a person after they have eaten Mountain House Turkey Tetrazinni! At least not without a gas mask. :eek: I am not exaggerating even a little. It was horrible. :(

Yeah ....... Misty Mountain Hop! And if we're gonna describe this summer by honoring the mighty Zep, how about "The Rain Song"? ;)

Yes, definitely High Point. In fact, on a very clear day, you can see it from Westkill! (BuckRidge Lookout)

By the time you add the cost of shipping, Meritline is less expensive than NewEgg. (At least for the 8GB SDHC card by pq1.) A lot of stuff at Meritline is offered with free shipping. But not everything. The NewEgg site does seem pretty good tho. Regardless if you save a few bucks at one site...

Cheaper at Meritline.com. HERE But don't take my word ...... whatever I say will be contradicted anyway.

Jay, FWIW, I'm very happy with my SD800IS. And I found a spare battery on ebay for like $12. Works great. Rob

Ya know, I remember you telling me that ...... in pretty much those exact words ..... a few years ago at the 46r meeting. I had chalked it up to post-hike adrenaline and that feeling you get after a great hike ....... that emotional perception that the experience was the "best one ever" ...

Got your VM. Sorry we missed you again. Maybe further up the trail.

Perhaps we can bring some trail magic your way on Sunday. Do you know where you'll be Sunday afternoon? Call my cell on saturday or sunday, if ya read this before then.

Hi Adam, Very nice photos! Some of these have awesome composition ...... your photog skills are really getting quite good. Rob PS - The photo titled "Mount Colden in the cloud" is neat ...... it looks like a volcano! :D

Don't forget to check out Emerald Bay, and Vikingsholm on Fannette Island ....... amazing! When do you plan on going? If you have some flexibility on which week you go, (or even if you don't), let me know here or via PM, I may be able to help you out with accommodations. Rob

Just saw this thread ........ We'll look for you guys tomorrow (Sunday) near the Delaware Water Gap. We live only a mile from the AMC Mohican Outdoor Center in Blairstown, NJ. You should be there by tomorrow, or the next day at the latest. (Which means by the time you read this, you'll...

Darren and Carmel, Our deepest sympathies. As someone already said, we wish we could have known your father. The video tribute was moving ...... we both shed tears watching it. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Rob and Carla

On the contrary, you are doing what you love. I can only hope to hike as much once I get my life back. And I'll tell you this - - - if I lived in New Paltz, I'd be joining you on most of these hikes! :D

Hi Matt, Didn't you just climb Halcott recently? Oh, wait a minute ..... it's summer now .... so this was probably for your summer round ....... correct? Thanks for the heads up regarding the conditions. I need Halcott (and 2 others) to finish the list, but am planning to wait until fall or...

Don't be giving Neil any ideas! :eek: :p :D

Over a week late, but here it is - - - Climbed Colden on Sunday, May 25th. Perfect weather, slight breeze, very few bugs (not biting either), and surprisingly few hikers. Well, on Colden there were few hikers. Tons of folks signed in for Marcy, Phelps, and Algonquin. Patchy snow started around...

Agree with Grumpy about the top photo. The rust-colored, iron rich water is not uncommon in the mountains ...... I've seen it many times ....... although never as orange and "thick-looking" as in your pic. Pete Hickey posted before on this and can probably provide more info. The photo from...

WOW! Real nice video! And great job with the editing and music. The Who rocks!
