    There's no escape! Alps Are warmest in 1,300 Years The bad news? No skiing so far and World Cup races cancelled. The good news? They are trying to attract tourists with alternative programs, such as hiking. :D Alp-Imp Study

    Creating views with a chainsaw

    Mouse v Moose I've seen a dying moose on the side of the Northway near Lake George. I've seen moose poop on the Taconic Crest Trail on the NY/MA border. I have seen mouse poop in my kitchen - but no live mouse - only the dead ones that dined on cheese and peanut butter before meeting the...

    Climate Change in the Northeast

    I hate repeating myself...... and from Wikipedia: If you are using "theory" in that sense, ok. If you are saying that it's just amounts to conjecture or speculation, well.....

    Creating views with a chainsaw

    Funny! It's only a theory with an overwhelming scientific consensus - kinda like evolution. As Stephen Jay Gould said: I've listened to Bill McKibben talk about how the Northern Forests are already undergoing change and will be vastly different in a hundred years. Maybe more...

    Everest: Beyond the Limit. Discussion Note ***WITH SPOILERS***

    Thanks for the article, Hampshire It is quite chilling and illuminating. It confirms my feeling that this series is problematic television viewing.

    Everest: Beyond the Limit. Discussion Note ***WITH SPOILERS***

    The narration! The narration alone is annoying. The writing is horrible and the storyline is stilted. Too much to hope for Touching the Void, when you know you are going to get Vertical Limit. The photography is the only thing worth watching. It's hard to go wrong on the magnificent...

    Great Range, 7/29

    Trail Conditions I have to disagree. I think it depends on when you go. We do our Great Range Hike around the Summer Solstice. This year (June 23) conditions were great - hardly any mud and pretty good trail conditions. I remarked at the time that conditions were the best in years. We...

    Question for people who hike w/dogs

    Exactly I'm in the middle of reading his book and learning much about dogs that is contrary to what I thought. Don't praise the dog after he is aggressive and then friendly. I can imagine that you are getting a little anxious watching his behavior and that only reinforces his behavior. And...
