    Seward plane wreck, Donaldson, Emmons, Seymour 7/1,2

    "Engine,propeller,wheels, full body and even someones moccasin/slipper!" (quote from link) This in fact has to be the same crash, because the moccasin/slipper was still there.

    Seward plane wreck, Donaldson, Emmons, Seymour 7/1,2

    I am not doubting the documentation, but by the looks of the wreckage, I find it hard to believe that anyone walked away from this one. The picture that I took is quite a pile of rubble. Yes, I do have the exact location of the wreck also which I will post later when my GPS comes back from...

    best trail to do sewards

    I was up on Seward, Donaldson, and Emmons this past weekend. We went up the herd path from the Blueberry / Ward Brook lean-to area. We actually lost the herd path and ended up bushwacking up. We came down the Calkins Brook path. This indeed would be the prefered trail to grab Seward...

    Seward plane wreck, Donaldson, Emmons, Seymour 7/1,2

    Zer0-G and I drove up to the Daks on Fri night and camped so we would be in position for an early start Sat morning. We arrived at the PA at Coreys at about 6:30. We met up with a group of VFTT members heading up to Sawtooth #5. We chatted for a few minutes and continued to get ready for our...

    Coreys. Seward and Seymour.

    What is the best route to Coreys from route 87 coming from the South? Is there any road closures due to the flooding that we should be aware of to try to gey up there by Friday evening? Since I'm on a roll. Any concerns with high water in the area of access to Seward and Seymour Mts. Thanks

    Noonmark - Finally!

    Hey Tom, Certainly was the wiser choice to head to the Daks this weekend. Did you see me on top of Haystack? I was the one in the white long sleeve shirt. George

    Jay, The trail was steep, but in excellent condition. All blowdowns have been cleared. A much deserved THANK YOU to the trail crews. Mud wasn't to bad, nothing that would suck your boots off your feet. George

    Broke ground on the Adirondacks on Saturday. Hiked 4, 42 to go. Was a long day. Left New Paltz at 4:00 am headed North. Nice easy drive, but a little disappointed when the rain started. Had breakfast at the Noonmark Diner and then proceeded to the Saint Hubert PA. By the time I got myself...

    What kind of hiker are you?

    I tend to move along quite quickly, but never miss out on a view, waterfall or point of interest. I keep moving along the trail and take my breaks on the Views From The Top. I figure the farther I go, the more I get to see. While out on AT sections solo, I put in long mile days. I will hike...

    Trail Days 2006. Erwin-Damascus 5/13-5/19

    Hi brianW, I am not familiar with any hiking down South except for the AT. The AT as far down as Erwin TN is very nice with high peaks and fantastic views. I have noticed that there are lots of side trails off of the AT down South that should make for many various day hike options. The high...
