Be Careful Bug conditions vary from day to day. Deets helps eliminate variation.:cool:

Feb.25th went in the slide brook herdpath to Macomb slide, trail broken, climb slide in very consolidated snow. Follow track from summit of Macomb to South Dix (Carson), and broke trail to East Dix (Grace). Our track to Grace might be a bit confusing as we tried a few different approaches but...

Interesting question I was on Hoffman mountain back in November. It seemed like every 15 minutes or so one of those birds would scare me as they came out of no where. I have never encounter so many in one area.

lost hiker Couldn't help but notice the mention of that poor individual who spent two nights in the hills before being discovered by the rangers. That person must be pretty tough. Two nights in the winter without proper equipment, wow! The Press Republican article mentions medical treatment...

Last winter peak I finished on Hough on a beautiful sunny day with two other finishers. Ron ;)

Trip Report Very nice TR and very nice pictures. Great job.

MayDay In the Sawteeth How about the plane crash in the Sawteeth Range of Bill and Mary Black described in the new book: "At the Mercy of the Mountains" by Peter Bronski, a good read. You also get many more interesting stories.... :rolleyes:

What A Nice First, congrats to both of you.... :) You two look so warm on top of Allen...it looked almost Florida like...what was the temp.? How deep was the snow? That one shot of the Marcy sign looked serious. :D

Count me In Well I completed my Winter 46 but still need MacNaughton for the complete winter circle. Include me in this trip, RT. :)

Today, Saturday, Feb. 16th, a large ADK group lead by Claudia and three individual hikers, Rik, Lucky Lura, and me climbed Dix and Hough. The day was cold in the morning but the bright sun helped you forget the crispness. The trail was still broken to Dix from the effort of Rik, Eric, Mimi...

Nuns and free mountains Spence that isn't a fair question....let's see keep the group together....as for free mountains...could you provide the 46er's position on this issue...I don't think Grace would approve...

Hey Buddy I have been where you were last winter. I was also prepared to spend a night in the woods, actually on top, you what I mean. The key thing with your experience is you were prepared. End of story... We go out in groups and solo at times, anything can happen, you try to prepare for...

This report will be short and sweet because my partner has report duty. Mimi, Eric, Rick, and I broke trail from Round pond to the top of Dix. It was a long hard day dedicated to a great kid. We were so happy to reach the summit of Dix on a day which entailed serious trailbreaking. So the...

Sunday, Feb. 3rd: Started in from the Loj around 8 am with my partner Mimi. The trail from the Loj to Avalance Pass packed as could be expected. The trail is in good shape. Crossed both lakes, great views. Followed broken trail to beginning of trail to Marshall. The track in was broken...

Feb. 2nd, Sat. Down Lake Road, bareboot, across Lower Ausable to the Weld trail. Sun out, blue skies, but soon to change. The Weld trail was hard packed and one could see the old track which was blown in. Saw two other groups of hikers on way up. At junction with Sawteeth, I broke trail...
