You're gonna have to pitch a better sale than that Jay. I'm not convinced. :D haha... I'm sure many a-beer drinkers would agree. ;)

Yes Jay...talking about Ski Run Road. I've hiked Bearpen via Ski Run Road in the past and on another occasion hiked Vly via the road to the Tar Paper Shack from the north. Given the shorter days and solo trip, I think I'll pass on the Ski Run Road route. Hitting two peaks via this way would...

One other question...this time of year...anyone know how far one can drive up Ski Run Road to trailhead? Thanks. Chris

HAHAHA Yeah, you're right Jay. I think that snow mobile trail has been there for a while too. Perhaps that's what I was thinking of...the Ididaride loop. I'll look that up online...

Oh...and btw...haven't been on these peaks in a while...are there canisters on each of them? Can't remember. Thanks. Chris

Thank you Peakbagr! Good to know. Can't wait to dust off the ol'snowshoes. Winters here on Long Island have been pretty lame. (I better watch what I ask for :eek:). Checking the NY/NJ Train Conference Maps, it's nice to know that all I gotta carry with me is map #145...the little insert...

OK, very good. Will def bring snowshoes then. Check in again later next week as well. You guys are awesome! Thanks for replies!

Hope all is well Jay...been a while! Thanks for the lead to ADKHighPeaks...unfortunately that thread is mostly pleasantries amongst hikers LOL. Will keep my eyes and ears open...not planning on going till next week anyway. But I think you're right...snow recently, correct? P.S. what are the...

Looking to head in this direction next week. Wondering if anyone has been to these peaks lately (or any in the vicinity) and can comment on trail and snow conditions. Snowshoes yet? What about crampons? Thanks. Chris

Glad you guys had a good time! Real disappointed I wasn't there for those portages ;) Was just about to pm you Jay and tell you good thing I didn't commit...also had some serious lower back issues that developed last week while working out in my garage. Was out of commission all last week...

Have a great trip! You will love it! I almost turned around at the Keyhole. The wind blowing through there at 6am was off the hook! and this was my first (and only, so far) 14er! I packed up my hiking staffs at that point, manned-up and pushed on. Using hiking staffs beyond the keyhole...

Hope you guys have a great trip! Sorry I wont be joining in. Heading to the Adirondacks for a week a few days after that so will be busy getting ready. Paddle safe, eat like kings and will look forward to something in the future.

A better combination that peanut butter and chocolate... If only I lived closer.

Nice! That thing looks awesome! Looks like it's going to fly across the water! Don't forget your harpoon, rope and air bladder for your whale hunting expeditions in Baffin Bay! ...or the bow and arrow for the Caribou hunts on Ellesmere Island! Nice job!

Thank you for the green square! Wish I could hike more often so I could give more updates! HAHAHAHA

Three straight days in a brewery? Whheewww...sounds like a good time! ;) Hope to join you one of these years Tom! Already registered for the Black Fly Challenge on June 9th though...then have to come home and work on the 10th. :( Have a great gathering!

Thanks for the B-day congrats! Was drinking a few Brooklyn's last night. It's so good to be back hahaha

Encountered about a wheel barrow full of ice on the trail. Started at Elmar Barnum Road...east to Lockwood Gap, down passed the spring (running good) and up to the Batavia Kill Lean-to...over Blackhead and back to the car at the Elmar Barnum PA. The only place I encountered some ice was on the...

Thanks all for your input... ...Jay, I'll keep my guard up for those porupines :eek:. And by traffic, you mean human traffic, right? I know it's 5 days away but Thursday is supposed to be over 70 degrees F in Hunter, NY! I think things will definitely be different than it was back in...

That looks COZY!!! I would like the lightest 1-2 man, four season, freestanding tent (not single wall)
