Notify authorities involved RIGHT AWAY, and stay on them. There may ultimately be nothing they can do, but they have means available to them that we do not. MAKE A BIG DEAL ABOUT IT because it is one. These "online" communities are more powerful then you think. Without saying to much, I'm...

Hmmmm. I seem to remember one or two expletives being uttered in that exchange. :cool: Sounds like a little spiritual healing going on to math the physical healing you've done. Nice to read one of your reports again.

Hmmmmmm, lets see...... Hell ya. County high points count :D Again, Super job. Keep it up.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.............. But, is it on a list anywhere :cool: This trip report is a long time coming my friend. I'm just one on the throngs that will be proud to read it. Keep putting one foot in front of the other, brother. We're all in this with you, spiritually speaking of...

You're right, I usually come in from the "other side" (not 87). Lake Harris is right near the turn off to Tahawus/upper works but on the Long Lake side.

Try -LAKE HARRIS-. It's a DEC campgrond in Newcomb (on the Hudson River) and only about 1/2 hour drive (tops) to the Elk Lake TH. Its probably the one your thinking of.

I think that may have been because of the independability of the paths at the time. Since Floyd decimetated the area and there were multiple nightmare stories about getting lost back there. I've also heard that the path iwas recently cut out nice and in the best shape its been in years. Again...

1 lean-to. No way to know until you show up. Midnight on Friday..... might be tough, but you never know. I'd bring a tent as back-up. There are a couple of nice camp areas just before you get there on either side of the trail. It'll be dark, but the areas wouldn't be to difficult to set up a...

ooooooooooooooooooh, why it's pretty one of course :cool: :D I'm with nartreb, White Admiral for sure.

She's still teaching too......... through her legacy. I consider myself a beneficiary of it.

I never met her either :( . But It feel like I knew her. Everytime I hike in the High Peaks. I've read and re-read Peaks and People so often, I feel like I know Mr. Carson too. Besides, John Adams Dix, who was certainly a nice guy, and a good Secretary of state under Marcy, an average...

No offense to Alain or Pete :D, but I hope the effort to honor both GRACE HUDOWALSKI and Author/Historian RUSSELL M.L. CARSON is not forgotten in 10 years.

Is that what it means when my wife tells me I'm bad naked........... Damn, I always thought it was a compliment. :( On a more serious note, perhaps there should be some type of minimum age limit at future VFTT gatherings ;)

1st one we missed in several years. Bummer. Sounds like you all had a good time. We were thinking about you. Actually, we were on Ranier (sightseeing) most of the day and trying to figure your route out . :) Anyhow, back in NY now. Glad you guys had fun.

Perhaps GNR... You certainly make a good point. However in this case, the person has actually came forward and basically gave everyone a public (and private in some cases) "eff you, I live here, I'll do what I want" response that torqued enough people that the DEC has been contacted by many...

{Long, as usual} Naturally, while out west here in British Columbia, we decided to do a little hiking too. The first place we chose to hike was about 35 miles north of Whistler in the Joffre Lakes Provincial Park. The main trail (only trail) in Joffre Lakes leads several miles up a cirque...

ummmm, What he said.... Sorry for your losses too.

In case you missed it in the TR........... See the damage for yourself -HERE- ...... Estimated damage to 75-100 trees.... courtesy of fellow vftt'er elhefe007a

Spongebob, Please re-read my initial statement. Not sure if your critical words are directed at me or not. The initial post, which I hesitated to write because I knew that MANY people were angry about the event, and the potential for ugliness was ripe. I choose to go ahead, because the message...

I have to admit, I'm very disapointed and alarmed with the response so far. My intenion was not to "bust stones", it was an honest attempt at education. If you go to thier -BLOGSITE-, and look around a bit, you will see some alaming things, but overall it looks like the site of a couple excited...
