Is the accepted summit of Hunter Mountain in the Catskills a tree with two blue painted rings around it just off the trail before the Fire tower? I walked around in the woods looking for the high point, and saw that tree.

-Colvin for the Lower Ausable lake views and of the great range. -Haystack rocked -Saddleback for the steep climb. -Couchsachraga just met some really nice people that day.

I saw him jumping from a plane on to Whiteface last August on a covert mission to stop people from walking on alpine vegetation. He is working for the man. Or as some people call it the NY DEC.

I personally like dogs on the trails. I have had a few instances where the dogs I met were agressive towards me on the trails. I did not appreciate those moments. But almost always I like meeting dogs. It seems like people are trying to limit dogs hiking, just like smokers are getting...

ahhhhhhhh.......I don't know anything about leaving another Sponge Bob in the woods. Yeah, that is my story and I am sticking to it. Apparently leave no trace is something I need to improve on.

For books I found an Appalachian Mountain Club "Catskill Mountain Guide" book with a decent map at REI. I also got the Adirondack Mountain Club "Catskill Region" (region 8) book. This one didn't have a map. Although it has some drawings in the book. I also got this at REI. I bet there are...

Mad Townie I am interested in going. Even though the Nick is a long ten minute walk from where I live, I think I can pull it off. And I could let someone use my parking pass at the Parking Garage where the Nick is, since it just collects dust in my car. As I work right down there in the Old...

Congrats on the great job! I heard Stinkyfeet found a spongebob on top of Pierce. Spongebob said he wanted to hike with a real hiker, so I threw a snow ball at him on top of Pierce as this upset me. He appearently jumped out of my pack after the incident, and was considered AWOA. (absent...

How far is Tim Pond Road/Canada Road/Wiggle Brook Road plowed if at all in the Winter?

I had a good time meeting some the people behind the names on this site. I am putting a link here for a couple pictures, we will see if it actually works. URL[http://community.webshots.com/user/spongebobportland]CLICK HERE[/URL] Thanks Turnbill for being so generous. Blue, guys don't just...

Sherpa, Nice trip report. This shows that there is always something to be learned and new challenges to be faced. Consider this the Adirondacks giving you your initiation right of passage. My first night ever in the Adirondacks last June, my food bag was taken out by a black bear. No food...
