Just got back into Placid from the service, which was beautiful. I wanted to post this for those that went. This was the photo I snapped that day on Phelps Mt. that I spoke about. Bless you Neil and Sylvie.

**Approved by moderator** ---------------------- Neil has been working hard putting up a photo tribute to his son Dominic, and he would like to share it with all of us. He has asked me to post the link to share with you all. Photo Gallery for Dominic Feel free to browse and comment to the...

As troubling as it is for me, I am gong to tell you the story of a sad passing of a member of "our" virtual family. It is the story of an incredible young man that had a incredible zest for life and quite possibly lived more in his short 19 years than any of us will dare to dream of. A young man...

The loss of such a beautiful young person in the mountains, a place we so love and cherish so much, touches us all......... no matter what the circumstances. My deepest condolences to the young woman's family.

Man, Junior is one tough cookie. He never allow you a minute of rest. Thanks for sharing.

I'm in Florida on the 2nd, but I could be in for the Make-up date. I'll watch in the background and see how things progress.

I never leave my pack unattended. I generally leave my dog unleashed to guard it's contents as I go on unencumbered, pockets turned out and empty. She's not very big or intimadating, so I've taught her to use a gun and I leave one with her. I will bring my iPhone though, cuz I generally hike...

This site, under ordinary circumstances, is usually a happy place to exchange positive thoughts and ideas. Sadly, today, marks a moment that I feel I must be observed. It is with great sadness that I report to you that a 4-legged Adirondack legend has passed to that great wilderness area in...

You are not wrong...... :)

It's all good. I'm actually glad you were unintentionally ambiguous :) . Cause, while I'm sure you understand the public /private thing, you'd really be surprised to find out that I've come across a surprising number of folks that have either e-mailed me or talked to me about some peak that when...

Neil, I gave you the list privately. Missed this one earlier. It's a good point (as per usual for Christine).

Look harder next time............ I have photo evidence of ILLEGAL view cutting or summit clearing on 8 of them or so. ;) Other than that I agree......... Trip reports on my site for ADK100 peaks have increased quite a bit in the last few years. Traffic is increasing, for sure. Lot's of reasons...

NOT TRUE.................. Significant tracts of land within the park are on "exclusive use" or private property, including several of the peaks on this list, access to them, and some of the routes described in the book as well. We may not like that fact, but it remains. One of the peaks is...

Just read them............ Hahahahahahaha. Are you kidding???????? Maddie, don't take Close's comments too personal :D . He's not even talking about Spence in most of his article.......... I'M the internet HUCKSTER he speaks of. My hundred highest forums and all the discussions we've had over...

Maddi, my apologies if you took my comments personally towards you, it wasn't intended. I probably should have left my comments to you out of that post (or put them out separately). My separate points (that followed) didn't really have much to do specifically with the article (that I haven't...

Sunny, In a thong? :confused: You both ought to be ashamed of yourselves for even discussing the matter. After all she's be through, if you put her in a tutu or something up on noonie, THEN we'll have some real issues and thing to "war" over. ;) I'll start in on Neil since it seems to have...

Actually, I didn't miss Maddi's point, cuz I wasn't speaking about the article or it's contents. I was talking in generalities. My point was (meant to be) greater then the debate itself. IMO, neither Spencer nor Jim is wrong, Neither are right either. Debate is fine, as long as action follows...

Maddi, I can certainly attest to the love of the woods from you're mom and dad. They are wonderful folks and my whole family has been lucky enough experience their "love of the woods" first hand. They are GREAT people. You and Bri do come by it honestly. Tell them we say hi. As for the debate...

Educating, whilst we go about "doing what we do" is very important though. No cutting views, not alterations. Just a fellowship of folks that take joy recreating in this very special and unique resource. If thats part of the equation then talking about, enjoying and sharing is perfectly...

It's a College Swim thing............. You can't swim in the ADK's in Jan, so you gotta head south. Nick will be in NY at that time. perhaps he'll have his license by then and will volunteer to be a trail moose. Never Know.....
