If it's anything like NY, you can't hunt for turkeys around Thanksgiving. Go figure. :confused:

About 95% of my hiking is done in the Adirondacks. If I didn’t hike when things were muddy, I’d never hike at all.

Best of luck to him. I hope he has a fast recovery.

That had to have been one of the most amazing sights I’ve ever seen on a mountaintop that morning. The pictures don’t come even close to what the view looked like. To the east of the ridgeline was a sea of white as we looked over the clouds to the horizon. The western side was open skies...

Back in August my cousin and myself did a section hike on the Vermont Long Trail over 9 days. I finally got around to getting my pictures uploaded. This was by far the most demanding backpacking trip I’ve done to date. The trail is nothing but ups and downs and then there’s the mud, one the...

Pictures are up.

I guess between the two, I prefer internet hikes (although my main preference is hiking with my friends I've know most of my life). Considering I’ve been on quite a few of those and have never been on any club sponsored hikes. When you hike with people from a forum, you can get a feel as to...

Saturday, October 7, 2006 With everyone canceling on me for a Tongue Range traverse overnight and a perfect weekend weather forecast, I just had to get a hike in. To my luck Sherpaman’s prior commitment for Saturday had changed and we decided to do a nice short, fall hike. Crane Mountain...

That’s the main reason I switched to UTM coordinates. Everything relates to kilometers making calculating distances easy.

I think it’s still too early to tell if the regulation is working the way expected or not. Remember it took years for the bears to get the way they where, it will probably take years to completely deprogram them.

That got me thinking. It would be great if the guides came that way. One could take the sections that they need with them and leave the rest home. As things change over time and sections of the guide need to be updated, the guild maker (AMC, ADK, ect) could sell just the sections that require...

There should be a separate patch made just for that. :D

Congratulations in advance. I hope you have a nice day for the big finish.

Not to hijack this thread, but I’m hoping to do this exact trip as an overnight or full weekend in winter. Is there a place near the lake where it is ok to leave a car(s) for the weekend? The plan is to pull sleds across the lake and either camp on Moose Island or Whiteface Brook. BTW a...

I read the guides when I’m doing a week long or longer hike, such as the Long Trail or the Northville-Placid Trail. Other than that I generally like to study the map and pick out where I want to hike that way. In fact other than the NPT guide, I don't own any guide books for the Adirondacks...

I had a similar experience to cbcbd’s heading up Redfield (ADK's) solo one August afternoon. I was soaked head to toe and couldn’t stop shivering. I stopped, threw on a jacket, at a candy bar, and turned around about .2 of a mile from the summit (probably one of the smartest decisions I’ve...

I’ve done a lot hiking with my cousin and his dog, Tahawus (AKA The Goat), which included a Great Range traverse from the Roostercomb trailhead to Marcy. She some kind of terrier mix and weighs around 45 pounds. On the traverse, she had no problem climbing the wood rung ladder at Armstrong...

I say climb it if you want to and don’t climb it if you don’t.

Fortunately I have full glass coverage and won’t have to pay anything to get the windows replaced. Hopefully it won’t happen again to anyone else.

I thought I’d give everyone a heads up. I spent last week hiking the northern Vermont Long Trail (I’ll get a trip report up in a day or two) and when I returned to Lincoln Gap to pick up my car I found 3 windows had been smashed out of it. I saw more broken glass across the road where the...
