    Jay, I have been told its a USFS reg because it is a protected wilderness area. When I went on a traverse with AMC a few years back, the TL told us he had actually been given a $25.00 fine for exceeding the group limit a few months before. :eek: There are some real experts on that stuff on...

    2007 Brain Tumor Society charity hike qs.

    ADK's/ Pemi? Actually, doing a Great Range Traverse in the ADK's would be different for me. I don't know the exact details, but I know it is tough. I have never hiked anywhere in NY, so it would be an excellent start. I know it would be new for many of the folks who hike in NH, ME and VT...

    NEW ENGLAND FAREWELL TO ALPINISTA and a Boston Beer night!!

    Great, I just heard from their aides that Deval Patrick, Mitt Romney and Mumbles will be there too, also that Mayor Bloomberg in NY is giving her the "KEY" to the city and George Steinbrenner is sending his private jet to fly her to NYC on Feb. 2!!! :p

    Kicking off the New Year!

    Excellent trip report! What a great way to start the New Year. Despite the crummy weather, which I actually enjoyed, it was way better than lounging in front of the TV and watching football, drinking beer, hanging out and being soft......... :confused: .....at least I think it was! :eek: We...

    Climbers stranded on hood as we speak

    Good point to make. I have heard little about the cost so far, but the military budgets for this under their training budgets. It is a "real world" use of their aviation assets such as the C-130's and Uh-60's. Plus almost all the S & R labor is usually volunteer. I am sure Hood County...
