I can't take credit for those humorous captions - I take the pictures and Dick usually creates the captions! He was feeling particularly goofy yesterday and the captions are the result! :D Edelweiss

Pictures of North Dome Hike Nothing much to add to the telling of the tale of our hike up North Dome last Sunday. Alan's incident was potentially very serious, but thankfully ended well. I am reminded of how conditions and situations can change so quickly as we move into the wilderness in...

This is a fascinating thread. On a walk in the Southern Adirondacks this past week, I came across these beauties. The first looks like delicate lace and the second specimens are covered with a glistening, sticky, clear coating. Any ideas, mycolgists? Edelweiss

Here are some pics from our Grace Peak hike: http://www.kodakgallery.com/Slideshow.jsp?mode=fromshare&Uc=tdpb2qu.76ak9qna&Uy=-appv3x&Ux=0

Two years ago Dick and I hiked the Haute Route from Chamonix, France to Zermat, Switzerland. During one short afternoon "bushwack" through a meadow, we encountered a herd of Swiss cows, complete with bells. I managed to get this picture. The cow slowly approached while I continued to shoot...

Northville-Placid Trail Adventure Here are some of the pictures I took on the Northville-Placid Trail. Enjoy! http://www.kodakgallery.com/Slideshow.jsp?Uc=tdpb2qu.7z2hnol2&Uy=8bwx8l&Upost_signin=Slideshow.jsp%3Fmode%3Dfromshare&Ux=0&mode=fromshare&conn_speed=1

Thanks for the comments and encouragement, Seeker and others. I am fully recovered - we did some trail maintenance in the Daks yesterday and I felt like my old self again. :D The pictures, of course, don't do justice to the magnificence of the Grand Canyon setting and I didn't take as many...

http://www.kodakgallery.com/Slideshow.jsp?mode=fromshare&conn_speed=1&Uc=tdpb2qu.4gqxccsa&Uy=-ymdc54&Ux=0 I am still coming to grips with the emotions and magnitude of the events of last Wednesday's hike. I owe my life to Dick and the other members of our party, most of whom we had just met...

Nice pics, Bunchberry! I especially like the ones with the skeleton tree and bush branches against cloudy skies. I so agree with your attitude about local hikes. Dick (rhihn) and I often hike in John Boyd Thatcher State Park (in the Heldeberg Mountains southwest of Albany, NY.) - a ten minute...

Hanna- Every time I go back to those pictures I get goosebumps as well. I hope we will be able to go back again soon, but this time I would like to find some location which we would use as a "base camp" and then hike in and around that area. There are so many potential places, it's difficult...

As promised, here is an abreviated version of our 2005 Walker's Haute Route adventure. If you are interested in viewing more detailed albums, please PM me. I would be happy to share. To get a flavor of the Haute Route, consider purchasing a pocket guide by Kev Reynolds called "Chamonix-Zermatt...

Pudgy groundhog- We hiked. There are a number of alternative routes one can take so one hike may be a bit different from another. Since this was our first trip to France and Switzerland in 30 years, we chose to sign up with a tour company which transported our luggage from one hotel to the...

Roadtripper- Yes, I have 14 days of pictures from our trip on our Kodak Gallery website. This might be a bit much so let me organize a sampling of shots from each day of our trip. Give me a day or two.

Dick (rhihn) and I also hiked the Haute Route last summer. I would love to attend Jean's presentation but have other commitments . Ours was a remarkable experience. I took over 700 pictures which continue to be displayed as wallpaper on our computer and remind me that we MUST return to Europe...

Here are some pictures of our Hunter Mountain hike. http://www.kodakgallery.com/Slideshow.jsp?mode=fromshare&conn_speed=1&Uc=tdpb2qu.9mpbkc02&Uy=-sq4lu&Ux=0 Joanne

There was indeed a problem with the vacuum sealing strip - a small bump on the surface which prevented a tight seal. I called customer service. The representative suggested that I use a credit card to try to move the bump, which would indicate that food had somehow lodged itself under the sealer...

Hi All- As Dick promised, here are some pics of yesterday's Windham High Peak hike. http://www.kodakgallery.com/Slideshow.jsp?mode=fromshare&conn_speed=1&Uc=tdpb2qu.1xts05ua&Uy=-ysfmya&Ux=0 Joanne
