    A Bad Way from Marcy to Gray, plus Skylight, 2/14

    Wow Joe, sounds like April Fool's Day came a little early. Just when you figure you have been through it all Mother Nature does it again! Thanks for the great report. -Tony

    Ticeteneyck or is it Ticetonyk?

    Catskills: Ticeteneyck or is it Ticetonyk? Well there has been some debate in the past on this peak and it's spelling. But there will be little debate about the views of this lesser known mountain. Being inspired by Rivet and Beagle's report a few weeks back, Peakbagr, Bookah, Hermit and I found...

    Exercise helps increase flu vaccine effectiveness

    I am also just getting over the flu. Terrible. Never got the shot before in my life and the last time I was sick was Christmas day 1987!... I am getting the shot next year.

    Arizona hiking

    Yep you are right. I was in a hurry posting. We will be in the Mesa area but we plan to do some driving too. Maybe the Grand Canyon with some snow?

    Arizona hiking

    Hey everyone. Looking to do some hikes in Arizona probably late October or early November. Visiting relatives but I will definitely be sneaking away and heading for the trails with my pack and camera. I'll take any suggestions from our experts. Also any car trips I can do with The Mrs! Thanks.

    Five hikers rescued from High Peaks

    An old timer I worked with for years was a veteran from WWII. He told of stories from the war when ever there was a cut hand or something the commander would say "piss on it"! When we had any kind of injury at work a sprain or twist my friend would say"piss on it"! I hope I can find him. He...

    Will polarizing filter cause vignetting on wide and super wide setting of zoom camera

    Alan, Possibly a step up ring (very inexpensive) with a slightly larger filter may help. You would need a larger lens cap as well. This will add a little bulk to your set up but not too bad. If you use a lens shade it would no longer fit. -Tony

    The Catskill 67: A Hiker’s Guide to the Catskill 100 Highest Peaks under 3500’

    Ah yes, what a great guidebook! Alan's knowledge of the Catskills and sense of humor are totally evident and spread throughout this enjoyable read. He points us in the direction of so many beautiful and quiet corners that even we Catskill veterans find unfamiliar. The book is beautiful and well...

    Colorado's Rocky Mt NP

    I was on Fall River Road this past September with a Nissan Versa 2 wheel drive. No problem at all. That is really some drive. Like hiking with your car. Very cool! We got a very early start, drove over to Grand Lake and back Trail Ridge Road. Took all day with many, many photo stops of course...

    Colorado's Rocky Mt NP

    All very true Doug. We stayed just outside (a mile maybe) the Fall River entrance west of Estes Park to avoid traffic. I didn't find the traffic in town much of a problem at all as I was warned about for September. Great place!

    Colorado's Rocky Mt NP

    We like the Estes Park area of the park but that's where I've been mostly. Hallet and Flattop are great hikes with many others from that side of the park. If you can wait until September the Elk are in rut. All over the place and real close! Check some pics from our trip this past year. Great...

    Mt St Helens (WA) -pics

    Great pics and report. I was up there the first summer they let hikers back after the eruption. Amazing the amount of damage to the landscape. I've seen that it is coming back... slowly.
