Thanks Dave! Dick

I don't see it. Just a blue square with a question mark.

Respectfully, I thought I might push back a little on this one. The original poster wanted a "moderate" hike of 2-4 miles, with an open (free) lean-to. The NPT from the terminus to Duck Hole is three times their maximum distance. The trail between Moose Pond and Duck Hole is currently (I'm...

I just did some poking around on the internet, and it looks like it might be an Old Yella Hibiscus. Also here.

Let's see: - Likely to be open. - About 2-4 miles in - Prefer a nearby body of water. - Great ADK feel. We will be coming from the Southeast. I read the request differently as well, and thought the poster may have meant the southeast Adirondacks. In any case, I didn't assume High Peaks. I...

I was Alan's hiking companion on Aeolus, my third mountain hike in VT. In the past, I've signed quite a few of the Adirondack and all of the Catskill canister logbooks. I signed logbooks because they were a requirement at the time. Apparently, signing became "pointless" or "extraneous,"...

I don't know where these are, but I'm not sure I want to climb them! :)

If you hike from the Loj side, I don't believe you would encounter any ladders, and you'll actually go through what I think is the most spectacular part of the hike, with views of Wallface.

Let me try to finish that last one. "if only it weren't such a dismal wilderness"? :) Catskill 3K names I've enjoyed: Thomas Cole (not many peaks with both first and last name of a person) Peekamoose Friday Pisgah Utsayantha Ashokan High Point Some Catskill towns, rivers, lakes, cities...

I agree with Couchsachraga, and its meaning ("dismal wilderness). Also always liked Gothics.

I'd say you have plenty of information to act upon with the above posts. You've been given about 15 possibilities, too many within your time frame, but you can't go wrong with any of them. You said you have two hiking days, so you could manage a few of these in that time. Are you planning to...

I am a professional musician, and my favorite music to listen to in the woods is "Ging heut Morgen übers Feld" from "Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen" ("Songs of a Wayfarer") by Gustav Mahler. Anyone listening to anything else in the woods simply doesn't belong there. :D OK, so I don't even...

Our reports (we each did them separately, not as a couple) were somewhat detailed, and I asked lots of questions about things I saw, other route comparisons, future hikes, as well as some personal observations. We both enjoyed writing them and receiving feedback in return. There is no set...

If we can get it together, we'll bring a home brew as well... but after eavesdropping on Tom's and Mark's discussion at the top of Stoppel Pt. the other day on peakbagr's Cat100 finish, I'm sure it won't measure up to theirs!

#2: Colden?

Peakbagr completes Catskill HH - 8-31-08 It was a pleasure to be a part of the largest hiking group I’ve ever been with (26) to accompany Alan (‘peakbagr’) and 4-legged hiker Bookah on a picture perfect day to celebrate their completion of the Catskill Highest Hundred mountains. The cast of...

I'd also include Tongue Mtn. and Lake George from Buck Mt. And just about anything from the Jay Range!

Lots of good ones mentioned. One could mention views from any number of locations, but here are a few more (in no particular order): Colden from Flowed Lands Great Range from Big Slide View(s) from Pyramid Duck Hole (NPT) Bog River Flow Moose River Hudson River (gorge) Suggestion: I could...

Hi Adk_dib, If you're referring to the Adkhighpeaks Summerfest 2008, this event was scheduled for September 5-7, but has been postponed. See this thread. However, a few are going anyway. See here. I hope this is the event you are referring to!
