Thanks so much Roadtripper! Great question , LIttle Rickie!

Smitty! Funny , I read that same article when I first got into riding. Made quite an impression on me too!!

Sounds like you know as well! :)

lots of sweet rides Road: Mongoose Pro Ti Serotta Colorado Mtb: Voodoo Klein CX: Viscous Tandem riding is also a favorite!! Got a unicycle too..............:D like I said in the other post...you can never have too many bikes! My quiver is getting kinda old since I don't race anymore, but...

My 2cents: You can never have enough bikes!!! Whatever you have just get out and ride. It is tough to get injured ON a bike. :D:D If you are in the Albany area and are free midweek, send me a PM.

Thanks so much Hikingmaineac! I greatly appreciate the links since I'm not a member on ROT. It was also cool to see other concur w/ my satisfaction! Tubbs rocked on ROT. Happy for all the other happy owners! :D

answering my own question......... I decided that before giving a gift, I should make sure it was The Bomb. So if anyone is considering purchasing this model of snowshoes, I would say they have been as expected! We have a set of the orange (M) and the blue (F) ones and have used them quite...

Lillian Brk is broken out to SDix and EDix. The Macomb slide is broken out as of yesterday also. Dear friends , Ellen and Bob, wanted to share this info w/ youall. Happy Peakbagging!

Buddy! I am so happy that you have been able to settle the plans for your trip, it does sound exciting! And refreshing to hear that you found such helpful people! I am not surprised about the M. Swamp route, but they were probably "abused" by hikers .... I look forward to reading your trip...

Has anyone tried the new Tubbs snowshoe? Your comments are greatly appreciated. I bought a pair as a gift and want to be prepared for being a Santa or a Grinch for giving these snowshoes. :D Thanks!

not styles brook The old path used to go up Styles brook and into M. Swamp. The new trail starts directly North at the jct of Jay Mt Road and that road that connects to Styles Brook Road. There is a pull off, at least in the summer, on the West side of the road and the trail starts at a DEC...

Bob is a good guy??!! Just kiddin'!! Bob is the best and was the one that set me up w/ his fine snowshoes when I first got into snowshoeing. Besides being a mighty strong competitor he knows his stuff! If you ever wonder which snowshoes the national champions wear, wonder no more ---- Dions...

Black Spruce is right! A couple of w/ends ago, while checking out a back road in the vicinity of the Jay Range, I saw an trooper. It was on a dead end at the top of a very steep climb. There were 3-4 big pickups parked on the side of the road. One truck had a ticket as the others were well...

Dions!! I use Dions and love them.

unofficial trail? I am curious as to what unofficial trail you mean? There was a path that lead into Merriam Swamp but it is now posted and def obliterated in the winter. Or do you mean the one at the DEC property line that follows the ridge line up from the jct of Jay Mt Rd and the connector...

thanks for the reply! It is always interesting to hear why people hike different hikes. I think your route looks as interesting as the ones I offer, so I hope it doesn't deter you from hiking your own route! Enjoy Elephant!! btw, I hike there b/c my in-laws live nearby and it is a Great...

Some helpful information - Howdy! It has been a while since I've been to Elephant Mt. There is a trailhead( or more accurrately a "path-head" ;) off the road (Land's End Rd, I believe) that runs along the lake. Go over the mt. on CR 6. Take a left at the base of the hill. Go past Sheep...

checking back - Looks like I should have called it 50/50 - must be more social than I thought! :)

maybe I checked the wrong BOX???!!! I'm kind of wondering if indeed I actually do hike more solo trips than w/others. It may just feel that solo efforts are more intense. Gotta check the journals! more again soon - Inge :)

Safer alone?! Firstly - I love to hike and also love company, so when the two work out great! If not that's great too. Secondly - I don't feel that much safer w/ others. Of course there have been a few times when it would have been a fright w/o anyone, but there are also plenty of times when...
