    Winter camping trip somewhere?

    I did 2 winter campouts in the Catskills last winter, I went to Peekamoose and had a blast! Set up the tents and had a great time. The last trip was the weekend of the spring blizzard. Lots of nice sites right along Peekamoose Road, the hardest chore was clearing out the cars in the morning.

    Biking from Adk Loj to Keene Valley?

    That section of 73 is just fine for biking, I have biked it many times as I did training rides before I did the Ironman. That section of 73 is part of the Ironman bike course.
