My wife came home with a remedy for deer flies I hadn't seen before. She'd been asking about insect repellants at the local pharmacy and they showed her Dexter Tred-Not Deerfly Patches. You apply them to the top rear of you hat and the flies get stuck on the patch! I was skeptical, but you...

Jay Mt. 6/30/10 FINALLY… a good day of hiking to report after two months of moving, unpacking and settling our new home! Other than a bushwhack of Blue Ridge (Schroon) on May 5th we have been working on the house since April 30th. Our trek to Jay Mt. was all we had heard… wonderful. The...

For my sixtieth birthday (March 6), my wife and I spent a beautiful day walking the ridge from Bear Den to Nippletop. We had planned to return over the same route but opted instead to loop out via Elk Pass. The trail was well defined and the snow became a bit sticky in the afternoon sun. The...
