    Cliff and Redfield? And Marshall?

    Not sure what the current status of the paths to these two "trailless" peaks is? Who can enlighten me? Hiked past where they start last week en route to Skylight. Saw two cairns along the right side of the trail as I was inbound. Which would I have come to first, Cliff path or Redfield...

    Is the North Country Wired

    My family and I will be camping in Newcomb next week. Unfortunately, I need to attend a webconference on Monday. Does anyone know if there's anyplace that I can get access to an internet connection and phone line so I can participate in the webcon? (I know, I know. You're all thinking, "It's...
