    Northwest Bay Brook to Montcalm Point - Lk. George

    A favorite weekend trip of mine, last done 2 years ago Memorial Day w/ my 2 sons. We paddled to the point from the marsh/stream and set up camp at Montcalm Point, an awesome place to camp. We swam (BRRR!!), explored the many islands in the narrows, and did a nice loop hike over Tongue Mountain...

    Lazy Summer Day on the Basha Kill

    Great place for birding. Was there a few weeks ago w/ a buddy and saw bald eagles, ospreys and lots of others I don't know the name of. The middle section was pretty busy w/ fisherman, 1 guy w/ a boat way too big for the channel. He caused a pretty big back up returning to the busiest launch...

    Dix Range

    Looking for opinions as to the feasability of doing the Dixes via the East Dix slide, and returning to the fishermans trail from the col between Dix and Hough, THIS weekend (Saturday). I'm aware its a long day, and I've been up this route twice before in summer. Wondering if the north facing...

    roads plowed in catskills

    Extra caution advised on Rt 10 south of Cobleskill and north of Stamford. Summit and Jefferson get worse weather, due to elevation.

    Two Weeks In August.....any suggestions?

    Broken Trails in Winter

    When I did my winter 46 (1999 to 2003) I considered a broken trail a bonus, especially on peaks w/ herdpaths. Me and my partners broke trail on maybe 20 of my winter peaks, including many w/ trails. I never planned around a trip report to take advantage of somebody elses hard work, I live to...

    Illegal bikers arrested (Grand Canyon)

    5 years probation? 5 year ban from all national parks? For riding your bike? Drunk drivers who kill people get lighter sentences.
