The Couchsachraga trail report has been removed from the offenders blog site. Very good, It it my sincere hope they get the message. can't tell unless we here from them. A simple; Sorry, we did not know. Won't happen again is a good start.

Recently in the trail reports section for VFTT, there is a REPORT for the Santanoni range that indicates the poster was involved in not only using a machete to clear debris from the trail, but also using it to hack into live trees in order to BLAZE the trail for easier route finding. After...

It's like porn... Really hard to define, but pretty obvious to recognize it when you see it. :D

It's all in the cycle, 10 years from now, we'll wake up and discover the need to "find ourselves in the mountains". For now, people are just doing different things. Everything goes up and down, and as far as visit's too Baxter, we are right now, on the down cycle. It won't stay that way. When...

How the hell did I miss this Trip Report. :eek: Your joy and happiness came shining clearly through your words. I am so happy for you. Congratulations to all three. Funny, but as remembered back to your report last year, I recall thinking (to myself) "No worries, knowing her, she'll be back...

The wreck is from the 50's and the pilot walked away. It's documented -HERE-. Nice seeing you guys that day at the trailhead.

-PICTURES- are up.

Yeah, the b-whack portion of the hike... what a gem. I'd have to say it's about as open and easy as you'll find on the lower 54. Even with the "bonus" portion we added (partially due to inattentiveness and partially to terrain), it was still pretty forgiving. The 14 miles in/out is really the...

For our moderator ;) Finishing a list is always a great personal moment for the individuals involved, but when the list is one of the most grueling and difficult challenges that you can pursue here in the NE, it’s all the sweeter. I had the distinct pleasure of being witness to 3 of my good...

Unfortunately , it doesn’t sound good, but we can hold out hope. As for registers, I can’t be sure (not being DEC), but I was under the impression that just failing to sign out of one is not gonna initiate a search by itself. I’m sure many of us have forgotten a time or two, I have. I think...

Very cool :cool: Congrats Wu...... Condolences Mrs. Wu :eek: Nice pics, obviously a good time was had by all.

I have a small packet I carry when I'm running for those exact reasons, but I never really considered it for hiking. I generally have my wallet somewhere in my pack but not always. It's a good point and thanks for brining it up.

{sigh..... } 1) I have, once... It was a short bushwhack in open woods and I assumed noone would see me. I was wrong and promptly found myself reported to -THIS- database. :( 2) Hiking.... No, although, I did see a guy hiking in just a speedo type banana hammock. It was semi-disturbing to say...

Good advice. I'd agree, it's way steeper than the Arnold approach but not dangerously so. I'd suggest a loop somehow just for the varied terrain you get. If your going up that way, then heading down to Lake Arnold. From there you can go left down to Avalanche Camp and through the pass, or...

.... and one he'll likely treasure for quite some time, meltdowns aside :) Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed it.

Its............. in the Adirondacks of course. :cool: I happened to be with Dick on the Saddleback/Jay discovery of the stove. Here it is on all its glory. Very odd too, 3200' middle of nowhere, no trail within miles. Big one too.

Among other things - A big plane crash :D

Like timmus, circumstances in my life at the moment generally have me dayhiking/b-whacking to remote (in some cases incredibly remote) areas, often times with others, but reading the title of the thread "Are you comfortable in the woods" and then seeing the choices, I'm not sure that that choice...

Don't take no crap Kevin, tell em' like it is, your word is the gospel. Your my new hero. :D I've seen these posts come and go over the years and you know what, they ALWAYS end the same. A bunch of people philosophizing about situations and stuff they don't have all the facts on. I remember a...

Hiked it, liked it.... Took lots of PICTURES . A true Adirondack gem often overlooked in favor of higher places. Very nice report.
