Hey Jay, Thanks Slamdog and Jay. I will be on the AT this Thursday for a one week section. Really looking forward to get back counting White Blazes. Fontana Dam to Hot Springs. The Smokies should be real nice this time of year.

My last weekend push for #39-#46. The weekend weather was looking good for a strong finish of the 46. I started out Saturday morning from South Meadows towards Marcy Dam. A bit cloudy to start the morning but very comfortable hiking. I made quick work of going up Phelps. After finding the top...

Phelps>Tabletop>Marcy>Skylight>Gray>Redfield>Cliff OK, this was last weekends plan, but last weekend became this weekends plan SOOOOOO this is now this weekends plan. Backpack trip in to hopefully finish up the #39 - #46. This trip originally included Colden, but I grabbed it on the way out...

Going down a week from today for a section. Hot Springs to Fontana Dam. 107 miles. I will be out of vacation time after that. That will leave me with about 160 miles left to hike. One more trip next spring.

Yes. This is the first time thru. I was hoping for a better day over Algonquin and Colden. I guess I will have to go back on a day like Sunday. I like to see the Daks from all the different peaks. George

Hey Ronnie, Yes, 7 left. I hope to be able to backpack in this weekend to finish up. George

Wright>Algonquin>Iroquois>Marshall>Colden 9/9, Big Slide>Porter>Cascade 9/10 After a few weeks away from the Daks it was time to get hiking. I had planned a backpack trip, but last minute hiking partner arrangements changed to two dayhikes and leaving the backpack for another weekend. Gail was...

9/9-9/10 Phelps>Tabletop>Marcy>Skylight>Gray>Redfield>Cliff >Colden. Heading out this weekend on an overnight backpack for the listed peaks. May omit one or two if I fall short on time. Anyone interested in hooking up? George

JayH, MattC and I all met in New Paltz on Fri night to head North for some more Dacks hiking. We were dropping Matt off at a camp site and continuing on to the Allen PA. The plan was to rejoin Matt and others on Sunday for TMax's 46 finish. Jay and I were the only ones in at the PA when we...

Congrats Zer0-G, Nice TR. Boy, a guy goes out West for a week and you finish up the Daks. Now that you finished, I guess I just lost my hiking partner. Ah, we will hike again. Anyway, congrats and keep in touch. George

Nice trip reports Zer0-G. Where is part three. Sounds like you guys had a great trip. Glad to hear that I'm not the only one that manages to get off the beaten herd paths with you. George

Yes, it is tough to stop once you get started. It's great to be able to climb a new peak. Like Zer0-G said we both have 30 down 16 to go, but they are not all the same for both of us. I have gone up five out of the last six weekends. I will be taking a break during the month of Aug though...

Zer0-G and I had made arrangements to meet at the parking area for the Santanoni range on Saturday morning. Zer0-G was in the area from a hike the previous day. We made contact and I decided to start down the road slowly and he would catch up to me at the jct of the trail and herd path up to...

Hey Zer0-G Nice TR. Yes. Always a Great Day in the mountains. I wish you would have had a bit more sun and a lot less rain. You need to leave the sliding on your backside to the kids in the park and not you on the rock slides of the mountains. Glad you were OK. George

Thanks. Enjoyed the pictures. My son and I are heading out there on Aug 12 for some backcountry hiking as well. We will be going to Yellowstone and then up to Glacier. George

Once again Gail, Ronnie and I teamed up for another weekend of hiking. The first of two days started up towards Esther. It was a cloudy morning but our spirits were high since we were out on the mountains again. Trail conditions were good. We started from the Atmospheric Sciences Research...

South Meadow area North East of the Adirondack Loj area. Is there parking and camping available there? The map shows campsites. Any info on this area would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Plane crash site on Seward Mt. Phone that was lost the previous day on Graham Mt.

I would think think that any time you get wet in the HH that a mistake has been made in set up. One example would be choosing to sleep under the stars with out the tarp and wake up in a rain storm. Even this option has ways to view and be prepared. You can set the tarp and fold over half of...

Another weekend, another 7 peaks. Macomb, South Dix, East Dix, Hough, Dix, Giant, Rocky Peak. Once again Zer0-G and I hooked up for another Daks trip. We also hooked up with Gail who would be our guide who flawlessly led us thru the Dix range. I had been corresponding with Gail for several...
