    Gray to Marcy Bushwhack

    I did it a few months ago. The brush was thick enough to catch on my zipper tag on my bag, open it up, and I lost my glasses somewhere between half way and treeline on Marcy. It's a blue case with brand new glasses in it. There is no way to find them, but if you see them, please email me...

    Daypack for backpacking trip

    I sometimes bring a camelback HAWG. It's perfect for daytripping around a camp. My pack also has a detachable lumbar pack, which is ok, but I prefer the daypack.

    carry pack or hide it

    I've also left my gear in lean-tos and below summits when peakbagging. No problems. I've also left nice ski equipment laying around while snowshoeing, and had the people I was with ask if that was ok. I said noone adds weight to thier pack. I have never had a problem.

    Ausable Clob road to Ausable Lake

    I once asked the ranger at the gatehouse how to become a member--he laughed at me, and said there are senators that can't get in that club. He did mention a brochure available at the desk, but I've never gone in to see...

    Alg, I'll be working on my winter 46 this season, and am currently working on the ADK 100 highest. I plan on getting down to the Catskills sometime also.

    Finding an outdoor knowledgeable doctor

    When I took my wilderness first responder course, there was a Dr. that also took it. She lives in Boston though. There has to be an outdoorsy Doc in the area of the city. I would check with the American Alpine Club, or maybe email a guide service, and find out who they use, then call that Doc...

    Best dog breeds for hiking?

    I have a golden also--he is a hiking machine. I keep him out of the high peaks area because of the leash bit, but he loves hiking. I have the saddlebags/pack for him also, but I don't make him wear it in the summer, even though he would. I bought ruff-wear bark-n-boots for him in the winter...
