I heard that a group was making a descent above treeline on Glenn Boulder Trail. The area had set in with fog and they lost visibility. It took them an hour or so to move from the boulder to the section of trail that has the drop into the trees. They claim that the cairns frequency and distance...

Thanks for posting this jason...Interesting how red squirrel numbers are down...

Spoke with a friend who made a trip a few years back. He went in in late July early August...yes bugs. He was on a hike and got scared off the trail by a bull moose in the trail. He had a great time and would go back in aheart beat.

I am going up Sunday and staying for Town Meeting. I hope to take in some skiing at Kingdom Trails. They are reporting a base of 4-6". There are snow showers in the forecast this week. So hopefully things will get better.

Mark, congrats on your feat. It was nice meeting all of you.

It was great meeting you. The ADK is a special place. Great people too. I will be back.

Thanks....and I got your straps that you put on my pack for my snowshoes. I told my wife about the trip, she thinks we are nuts. Did Grant have a good performance? Thanks again for everything. It was a great trip.
