Any one interested in hooking up on a two car hike on the ES trail? Would like to go in Storks Nest Road and hike out to Rt 23. Looks like about 12 miles. A nice hike with lots of views. I will be at work all day on Sat. Anyone interested can PM me and I will try to respond by 8:00 pm.

I understand that there is a gate on Coreys Rd after the bridge over Stoney Creek that is closed during the winter and until the road conditions improve????? Does anyone know if the gate is open yet that would allow driving to the trailhead parking lot????? Planning on heading up this weekend...

Awsome trip report and pictures. Thanks for the link, I really enjoyed it.

Great trip report. I really enjoyed your website and marked it as a resource for Adirondacks information since I am getting ready to start on the 46. Look forward to reviewing all of your reports.

As a matter of fact, the candy bar was found also. That must of been my reward for climbing Graham 3 1/2 times in 2 days. Zer0-G, I wish your glasses weren't buried so deep in your pack along with the orange stuff sack. I can't wait to see what lessons will be learned the next outing we join...

Coldfeet, Until you buy that GPS, make sure you clip the zippers together on you backpack pockets. That might save you the Easter Cell hunt I did. I was very lucky to actually get all my stuff back since it was lost on a bushwack where we were switchbacking on steep terain. Zer0-G had a good...

Easter Morning Cell hunt a success. My daughter and I hiked up to Graham early this morning. I backtracked the GPS track for the bushwack towards Doubletop and using a second phone we were able to find the lost phone. This really was like finding a needle in a mountain. I will consider this...

Number 33, 34, and 35 in the books. Another good day of hiking with great people. Katherine and Steve picked me up at New Paltz and continued on to the DB trailhead at the end of Beaver Kill Rd where Ronnie was waiting for us to arrive. We had a 9:00 start under cloudy skies and about 55 deg...

I have hiked under the moon several times on the AT, provided the trail was mostly rock free. During the hot summer months hiking under the moon lets you beat the heat of the noonday sun. During the cold months, a full moon over a blanket of snow is the most peacefull hike you can take.

mudhook51, Thanks for the reply. CrisisBill, Figure on about 11-12 miles, probably 6-8 hrs. pudgy_groundhog and her husband are planning on hooking up and looks like an 8:00 AM start at this time. We are working out the final details. If you are interested in joining in, PM me. George

At this point Saturday looks like the day I will be going, and the weather looks good for Saturday as well.

mudhook51, When you mentioned the Beaverkill Trail???? Is this heading due West off of Doubletop to the Beaver Kill and intersect the NH trail??? Now that I am looking at this route, it will be shorter coming out and all down hill. Thanks for the plan.

I hiked Kahtadin and the 100 mile wilderness South to Monson over Fourth of July week two years ago. The black flies and mosquitos were very thick, but doable with a head net and a lot of DEET. The trail was in good condition and the river crossings were average with only one that came up to...

Planning on hiking Balsam Lake, Graham, and Doubletop. I can go either Friday 4/14 or Sat 4/15. I am looking at starting up from Beaver Kill Rd and hiking the order listed and back out the same way. Anyone interested in hooking up, give me a shout.

I've been hiking the Catskills every single weekend since 1/22. It's time to take a week off to pursue my other quest. Heading down to North Carolina / Tenn. for a one week section hike of the AT. Going to hike Davenport Gap to Erwin. This wil be a 112 mile section with some nice mountains...

Last winter hike of the season!!! It all started on Windham High Peak on 1/22/06 on a warm winter day for my first official winter peak even though the snow was scarce. With todays completion I managed to climb 29 of the 35. The last 6 will have to wait for next winter. With snowshoeing at a...

Planning on Plateau and Rusk or Rusk and Plateau. These are two hikes on my dwindling list of peaks. Plan on doing one then relocating to the other. Any one interested in hooking up for either one or both??? It doesn't matter which one is first and second if any one wants to hook up for...

Great. Thanks for the quick replies.

Just wondering, is there parking and access to Plateau Mountain from Mink Hollow Road on the Platt Clove Road side????? Thanks

Just to add my 2 cents to the Mountains of the South. Last year we did a section hike on the AT from Damascus to Pearisburg which started on April 23. We figured that late April should provide us with some pretty nice weather in the South. We had camped a couple miles North of Damascus. The...
