The Heroe Islands are a good place to be. My wife and I pass through there often :)

Interesting thread. My house is on the path of totality in northern NY just by the border. A small group of us will probably do a local hike depending on the weather and trail conditions! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

My wife Gail recently saw a Lynx in Hemmingford Quebec when she was out for a ride on her bike. That's only a few miles from the NY/Canada border. At first she thought it might be a mountain lion but she looked at a bunch of photos when she got home... the ears and tufty fur fit what she saw. It...

Hi, I'm planning on going to Caribou Valley Rd. next week. Has anyone been up there more recently? I'm wondering about current conditions - summer 2015. Thanks, Fred

I guess we will put it in the drawer with the Elvis sightings and alien abduction reports? :)

I'd love to see the photo!

Ok, I now live in upstate NY right by the Canadian Border. Apparently cameras on the border have caught mountain lions in Flat Rock Gulf and Champlain NY. I was told this by someone who works for the US Government. Lots of open land for them to wander as well as food up here....

I'm very disappointed that hikers, especially hikers..... would be willing to industrialize and rip down forest areas for a few megawatts of power :( It never ceases to amaze me how destructive and short sighted we are as a species....

Congratulations! Goose Eye and the Wright Trail was one of the nicest NEHH hikes IMHO!

I find it hard to believe that so many are escaped house pets..... I don't know ANYONE who's ever had a mountain lion for a house pet, do you? It's not as if you procrastinated getting your cat fixed, it got pregnant and had cougar kittens :rolleyes:

Amazing..... hope I'm in that good shape when I'm that age!!

No marshmallows Mike but lots of other goodies! :)

Thanks so much everyone! We had a great group up there and it was a fantastic day to finish! Some photos are here http://outdoors.webshots.com/album/583349858vWZLIS?session_source=webs720 I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed this morning just thinking about this past weekend and how many nice folks...

Trail change - Long Trail Parking on RT. 108! After talking with Phil/Prino and looking at the map..... I think it's better to change the meeting place/trail we're starting from to avoid a long drive from Stowe.... we will meet at 9AM at the Mt. Mansfield - Long Trail Parking on RT. 108. I...

Thank you very much Ralph! Wish you could be there! Diane, a bunch of us will be staying at the Gold Brook campground in Stowe Friday and Saturday night. You have my cell # so please call us to co-ordinate. If anyone else wants to join us please PM me or e-mail at [email protected] for my cell...

How does the Sunset Ridge Trail at 9AM Saturday 9/1/2012 sound with all of you? :)

HI, I'm planning to finish my New England Hundred Highest List and Northeast 115 list on Mt. Mansfield this Saturday. :) Please let me know if you want to come! We're figuring out places to camp and which trail head to start from..... will keep you posted! Thanks, Fred
