Great stuff! Socks and shoes were still being invented!! Did you see where they are drinking directly from flowing spring waters?? Done that! AND... the lumber that was there for the new Hut -- saw the same site on my first trip to Tucks in 72 when they had lumber there to rebuild -- after it...

bouncing off mountains had the same effect to me! Glad you caught up with yourself! You'll be back in shape in no time ;) snowtime!

Unbelievable!! You guys are the best. My plate was really full so I appreciate your help, links and concerns. :) I'll make the most of it... see what I can draw out of the woods!! ;)

Once again I am forced travel to south central KY for Thanksgiving. Anyone have any hiking ideas so I can get away from family!! :rolleyes: Worse case I could take a trip over to Mamouth Caves! But, that's a couple hour drive from Monticello

awesome - Chicago night was a rip -- too bad I missed the thread until it was over!! Willie needs to get back east and away from those binding times a midwest firm has on him!! Monthly... how convenient!

Thank you! Thanks Audrey and Pat for totally going overboard on our behalf! I was looking around and noting all that you do... the food, refreshments, (breakfast), firewood, planning... I hardly feel worthy ;) Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to gather and connect. It's worth every...

Count 2-legs - but I'll be there! No plan for staying over... another turn around drive. Everything else covered!! Looking forward to a wonderful evening of food, merriment and wench-wrestling! Can't wait to see all - been a while ;)

Alright... another renegade hiker!! Happy climbing, Jim. Would be fun to be there so scream away!

Kinda cool that it all comes together after all the many reasons that it, in fact, couldn't have! Hope all goes well and don't be afraid to post date... only crazy people do Santanoni's in the winter!! :D

Oh, alright... congratualtions (again) VFTT style! May you both have wonderful Views for many years to come, and all your dreams come true.

I always know I'm 'back home' in the woods/forest as soon as I get under the canopy and the familiar smell of the forest duff becomes present. The same no matter where you are. And, a key reason to hike (esp ADK), is for the payoff of the Balsam Fir. It will get me to hesitate every time... it's...

Nice Jay! For me (one who totally respects heights) the CDN suspension bridge looks the worst! The Mackinac Bridge doesn't bother me at all... but I hate driving over the Tampa Bay Sunshine Skyway Bridge (the tall suspension wires seem to accentuate the height) -- and the close-by Burlington Bay...

Eleven years ago... Wow - that 's interesting and fits right into my story of a Dix Range traverse scheduled for Sept 18th 1999 -- except Hurricane Floyd decided to move in and change our plans. We arrived at the Elk Lake parking area and found St. L U Outing Club bus parked there. Students...

So... your impressions of the accomodations and food? This is the quintessential ADK opportunity open to all willing to pay.

Thanks Kevin... I needed this information as you did! If you read another post about Leki poles, they and a new bladder were points of issue on a recent hiking trip. Mine's prbly older than yours and I have a second one -- both servicing me fine. Note the drier options... I've found that...

Much of the above discussion mentions interests in the 'High Peaks" Region of this NYS park... Gloversville is on the southern boundary and very close to some of the Park's much less used areas and wilderness regions. Depending on your personal interests - there's much to explore. The...

Sounds like a fun day and all smart to go over to Dix on a fair view day!! Like the hikers there to offer a nip to mark the day :D You started off on one of my favoite peaks! Nice easy trail on the 'newly' marked herdpath.

YIKES!! What a picture! Note that the original Black Leather Apron is still adorned with it's hang tag - proclaiming 100% Athentic [somestrange] leather! Little Bear never had to share hers!! :mad:

Yeah... you're right, I usually got it because I always have to travel so damn far to get to these gatherings! BUT, believe that it was awarded in Eustis to someone from far away Florida and he may has in his possession. The year prior... after an all out whinning gig - it went to some little...

Well... I figure I've been around through it all! Super happy for you guys... and wish I could be there with you guys to celebrate, but understand how things go. When I got married, Mary Jo and I had to figure out what to do with our skiing friends (lots of them because we both instructed) and...
