While enjoying the wonderfully maintained route to Allen this past weekend, I met "B.Porter and Murph". I am interested in asking about their proposed plan, but do not have an email. Would anyone happen to know this dynamic duo? Thanks for any assistance. Inge :)

Wow!! I have a ton of books that fit this classification, but can't see myself unloading them at this time..........well, maybe a feww. It doesn't make sense to hoard them. I'll be back to this thread after I do some sorting out. But would it be ok if I asked for shipping (the real cost of...

Congrats! Sue!! I am thrilled to see that you continue to amaze the ultra world from whichever coast you live. Adventure on!! Inge

I asked myself this question sometime ago..... and decided that I couldn't really come up w/ a good reason why I posted TRs, so I quit. Now I no longer spent the drive home trying to come up w/ clever thoughts or a captivating way to express my time spent in the mts -(my TRs always seemed...

Taconic Crest There are many access points for the Taconic Crest trail which goes very close to the summit of Jimney. It starts off rt 22 near the Shaker village and continues to Pownal , VT. Check out a bookstore in the Albany area for detailed maps. Round Mt to Berlin Mt and back makes a...

Howdy! We are planning a 5day stay to visit our daughter in Bria, CA (south of LA)and would appreciate any information on recommended camping areas with hiking/trailrunning accessibility. Anyone visit that area recently? Thanks!! :D Inge

kinda along the same lines..... I "gave up" a career to stay home w/ our daughters - absolutely NO regrets. Now that they are off to college, I have plenty of time to work and it's fun because I can focus on my job and not wonder ... As for outdoor activities, where ever I am I make time to...

I think you might know this person - Try Jim Close! Alan - I hope your summer is going well! I am greatly enjoying the copy of the 54 that Christine gave me. Nice job!

Cold River Ranch B/B The Cold River Ranch is located at the end of Corey's Road on Rt 3. John/Connie run a fine establishment. About 40$/individual includes meal. 359-7559

Serotta Colorado!! Hey Tim!! Serotta Rocks. I have had my steel Serotta for almost 15yrs and still love it more than my Ti bike or anything else. Yup, it has survived all kinds of weather, group rides, even bushwhacks and nasty crashes when I used to race... As for hiking gear, I guess I am...

Thanks so much! What awesome pics youall are so generous in sharing! Doc, your photos make me wish I were there. Oh wait! That's what I always wish - even when it is rainy, 40F, windy and gray. :D (Is that you-no-who? ;) )

Nice shots! Thanks for sharing your photos with the rest of us! I'm still hoping to get there before everything ends up in the bottom of the lake. Inge :)

Anyone interested? I'm thinking that since the snow came down it would be a safe time to investigate. Anyone else interested? Inge :)

Hi Tim! No, but I heard that the track I broke on Saturday with 4 other peeps was filling in on Monday. And then again segments of a broken track are better than no track, if you know when it goes. 12 more days of winter peakbagging!! :)

recent snow/high winds!! But what about the 5-8" of snow that came Monday during the day? I'm thinking that w/ the high winds this path could be long gone?

OOOoops!! Sorry about that!! I meant to mention Cold Burial by Clive Powell-Williams!! Apologeeeeeeeeeeeeez!! :eek:

Shackleton's details When I read Shackleton's story I was also wondering about the reality of being wet and cold for so long w/ barely enough calories for the work required. It seemed that they must have eatten more to prevent hypothermia. And then the ones that didn't work so much, how did...

An incredible feat and... It is more believeable than Darwin's Theory of Evolution!! :D

Has anyone information regarding the driveability of Corey's Road to the summer trailhead? Has the Ward Brk Trail been broken to Seymour or the leantos since the Valentine's Day storm or the recent smaller storm? Thanks in advance! PS Any interest in joining a small group going in this week?! :)

The Long Walk I greatly enjoyed this book and at the time it did cross my mind that it was hard to believe that they survived desert conditions for so long. But I just went w/ it because there was so much other suffering that was hard to believe people had to endure. Definitely worth reading...
