There's also good hiking to be had at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation in Pound Ridge, Westchester Co. that may be a shorter trip for you.

I'm lucky enough to have a gear room where most of the gear lives, except for what's on the couch and living room floor waiting for the weekend. Bigger items like the mountain bike and kayak are stored at the folks house. No room for the boat at the condo. Small price to pay for not having...

I did the loop over Indian Head on Sunday from Prediger Road. There was still a couple of inches of snow on the ground at the trailhead and patches of snow and ice throughout the trip but no need for any traction control/snowshoes. Took the Jimmy Dolan Notch trail up to Devil's Path then...

Black Bear- spotted ahead of me on the AT in NJ. It stopped, turned to look at me then kept going on it's way. very cool- Rabbit/hare on the summit of East Dix- I didn't know they were peak baggers too!

can we meet at the Long Path trailhead instead? That way I can just cruise over from the Saugerties exit.

How about dropping a car at the Long Path TH and starting at the Roaring Kill/Pecoy Notch TH?

I'm definitely in for hiking on Sunday- How about Twin and Indian Head?

Christine- I just sent you a PM. Chris

I may be headed up that way as well if I don't get talked into a hike in northwest Jersey instead. Will you already be up that way or leaving from home? I was thinking about Indian Head and potentially other peaks. also looks like we could potentially meet in Fishkill and carpool from there?

Pharoah Lake is nice too- I don't have my map with me and don't remember off hand how long the hike in is.

thanks for the book info. This weekend I took a trip to the Farmington River in Connecticut- I did the section at Satan's Kingdom, as some friends were tubing there. There are a lot of put-in's along the river and with a 2 car shuttle, you can make a nice day trip out of it...

I paddled the Wallkill from New Paltz a few weeks ago. We put in at the launch south of 299 and paddled upstream (south) for a while, past a really shallow section (where we had to get out and walk) until we got to the next shallow/rocky section where we turned around and headed back. It was a...

small world- we had thought about doing Rusk on the way back down but instead went to Skytop for apres-hike beers.

no- we just did SW Hunter and Hunter starting at the eastern most trailhead on CR 6. We went counterclockwise up DN > DP and shortly before leanto we bushwacked SW to SW Hunter Summit than back to DP trail > HU > SP back to cars.. It was a beautiful day!

The cairn to SW Hunter was there on Saturday 6/21 and the path was pretty easy to follow.

top of Half Dome, Yosemite NP after an all day climb up Snake Dyke. While this is illegal now, I think it was legal then (1993) and it was safer to stay on top then to decent the cableway in our state of exhaustion.

unfortunately I can't make it up to the 'dacks until Sat. night, although it does look like the better weather day so far.

Is anyone interested in doing Couchsachraga (#36) from the Upper Works on 11/4? would be willing to redo Santanoni and Panther as well.

My BIASED opinion is for my friend's place, Anywhere's, in Chestertown. Good food and good beers. It's easy to get to after approaching/leaving the Peaks from the south.
