Every year I'm shocked, SHOCKED! to learn that it starts to get colder and it snows around late October. So invariably I always have one or two hikes where my hydration hose freezes and I go home wet and cold. Oh well, at least we got a couple.

Try South America Pond Road as an approach for the Senecas. I was there last weekend. There is a road that goes into the bowl east of the three peaks. They are mostly open all the way around except for two scrubby cols, and the east peak is a little thick on top. Didn't find the jar on south...

These are all good questions. Let us know what you find!

All good questions. Let us know what you find up there!

The cab does not have a floor, but you can climb to the top. It seemed to be in pretty good shape. Phil S

Very fun weekend, I have to say that the 5/6/Crispo whack will go down as one of my favorites. There was some scrambling, views, route choices (other than going where the compass points), and mysteries (the aforementioned fiberglass insulation, old cables and insulators in the middle of...

Mark, You forgot professor Pig Pen's other thing to remember: "I had to find the passage back to the place I was before" (Eagles, Hotel California) You would have been fine if you did that.

Dennis The list you sent me in March of 2001 (I was that weirdo on the Chain of Ponds Snow AMC Hike) shows four 3000's on the Lyon Massif. Lyon 44 42'11"-73 51'53" 3830 Averill 44 41'34"-73 52'53" 3803 South Lyon 44 40'30"-73 53'42" 3365 NW Lyon 44 42'22"-73 53'48" 3010 Since you sent...

Congratulations Jim, I'm glad I was able to join you for a few of them. You da man! Phil S

Great weekend, but you forgot to mention that big black dog on the whatyamacallit trail.

Congratulations Dennis. I feel fortunate to have shared three of the 453 with you.

Is that guy with the orange hat back?

There should be some nice well groomed herd paths by the time I get up there.

Sept 2, 2006: Deer Mountain, GAS Mhrsebego and I met at the west end of the Lincoln Pond Road on Saturday morning for the prequel to Whackfest Tree. First we complied with the requirement that all bushwacks start with one or more people looking at a map on the hood of a car. After that we headed...

Here's a deal for you: Please come to Vermont and hike and spend money, I in turn will come to your state and hike and spend money (If it has some 3000 footers).

Oh, I forgot something. I forgot to mention the BSP authority's strict policy against hiking safely in the winter. We all know that the most important thing to consider in planning a winter hike is the weather. However Baxter has a different approach. You pick your date two weeks or more in...

And another thing! Hiking Baxter Peak in winter must be more dangerous than climbing Everest or K2. You can get a permit to climb everest or K2 solo, but not to hike Baxter peak solo in winter. :eek:

Actually, from my perspective, it is all about me. :rolleyes:

Another Yogi Berraism: If people don't want to go to Baxter, no one's stopping them! :confused:

Hi Nate, I dug up some notes from May 2002 on Grass and Spruce. As I recall this one was easy-breezy. (like most of Southern Vermont) Rt 313 to 7A to Old West Road to Farm Road to Grass Mtn Rd. After about 1/4 mile Grass Mtn Road makes a hard left at a clearing. Parked here. Followed a...
