Just to let everyone know the canister on Friday has been moved to a new location and sturdier tree. Good luck.

West side is well iced, crampons ARE needed from 1st cliff band to summit.:D Barebooted the rest.

And they are still working up there with heavy machinery? (moving the house):eek:

Some times it is, some times it isn't. Not sure if its on a list of things to plow. The Franklington Vly State Wildlife or Management Area is usually plowed, but I don't think the Vromans Nose area is State. There isn't a lot of snow in the area, so parking along the road may not be a problem...

I haven't hiked those, but have been in to West Canada Lakes, which is about 7 miles in, also hiked, carried a canoe into many of the lakes and ponds which are well worth the trips. (Most under 5m RT). And a good chance to spot a moose, otter, loon and other things. Free camping and the fishing...

Non scientificly speaking, they are fun to watch.:) How many nasty biting bugs do you think each one eats in a day?

The worst I remember in the cats. The bug racket works well, the dog waits til I zap the ones tormenting her, then bites them. I have also seen several deer running full speed thru large open fields to escape them.

Winter from South Meadows with skis, great to be in the middle of the lakes looking up, summer from tahawus, no crowds, no parking fee, lots to see, both get the Opal Trail, which is nice both up and down. I don't remember the Calamity trail being that bad, but then again, I don't remember alot.

Lows is a very short portage, and there are lots of sites, but its a busy place in the summer.

From the DEP parking outside Westkill Hamlet. Dry, no stream crossings, easy grade, no snow to speak of. Heart burn from eating wild leaks. Over to ND and out the ridge to the Fishermans Parking. An uneventful,enjoyable, different way to do these 2.

Lots of Spruces, blowdown, thick, some ledges by Rocky, many bears, bobcats, coyotes,and shrews. A wild and wonderful place.

From Notch Lake, out Notch Inn Rd. 8"-14" with hard, break thru crust, Snow shoes ARE needed. Winter is here, be prepared.

PURE Bars, very good, they boast "Like a good mood in a wrapper" on brownies. I find these at Hannafords. And of course there is spam in a sack.:eek: There was a thread here about gluten free last winter with lots of info. I tend to make up my own meals with different ingredients, can be creative.

I always look for a missing body when I spot alot of clothing or gear, We once tracked a lost injured mountain biker thru some head high CHH prickers. He had deliberatly taken something off and carefully hung it up as he dragged himself and bike down the wrong side of the mountain hoping we...

I believe the manor is still privately owned and not a part of the proposed resort. Its a great place to watch the sunset from. ;) I ate alot of pop corn watching movies at the Galli- Curci, new flixs such as Gone with the Wind, Exodus, and The Sound of Music. The last movie I saw there was a...

[ The 3500' club maintains a summit register only on Lone, Rocky, Balsam Cap, Friday, Big Indian, Fir, Double Top, Sherill, No. Dome, SW Hunter, Vly and Bearpen, Halcott. I think that I got them all, but the point is that that these summit registers represent only a small fraction of the peaks...

Correct, some are the original patent walls, running from the Hudson to the Sushq. Many Catskill surveys are based on Great Lot #'s and Great lines. The Old Hardenburgh Manor House is along Rt 23 at the base of Round Top Mt. The greatest resident population for the Catskills was around the mid...

Slide is a vey popular peak to get lost on.:confused: There have been several searches there in the recent past. All with happy endings. Its very gratifying to tell some deserving souls (nasty grumpy trolls actualy) that the Denning trailhead is just ahead and that the Slide trailis back the way...

My little Village in the Catskills has been drinking spring water for at least a hundred or 2 hundred years,(depending on who you talk to) About 15 years ago it had to be treated per state regs, now( This month) the state is closing ALL springs which supply public drinking water, treated or not...

Thanks Journey On, I've stayed there several times, and was trying to figure out another area to camp in. A nice peaceful area to dayhike out of. Hurray for rumble strips:)
