Condolences to the family and friends, very sad. RIP

I'll second that. I moved out to Colorado last fall from the Adirondacks and when hiking in the 'dacks or the Whites and you gain the summit and look into the horizon, you can on a clear day seem a very large percentage of the higher mountains. Every single time I climb out here and look into...

Congrats to the both of you!! What a great accomplishment and I can only imagine all the memories and good times along the way. I trust you found a brewery or two to celebrate in? :D

I think an in memorandum thread to remember those in our community who have passed on would be a nice way to remember those who have left us.

(I did a search and didn't see a post for this already so if so please forgive me.) Stu Delman or Stubiscuit passed away earlier this month from his battle with brain cancer. I didn't know him well but through a random meeting on top of Algonquin one sunny June day several years ago, we...

Oh wow, good to know. Guess I'll be leaving that one off the list.

Well, since I'm departing tomorrow I think I have a fairly solid approximate route. I'll be taking 88/86 W through NY, past the state high point in Ohio, Indiana, turning N through Michigan, across the UP, high point, Wisc high point, down to Illinois HP, Iowa HP, SD HP, over to WY, maybe to...

Sounds like a fun trip. I always love my time in the Adirondacks; I did the Giant RPR traverse a couple weekends ago, one of my favorites.

Grats on a great hike! That ridge is one of my all time favorites! :)

:eek::eek: Wow that's crazy.

I like the idea of going far north, just don't think I'd have time to renue my passport for that to be an option; also not sure how much of a hastle taking a trailer through customs would be. I may look into going up to the UP and over that way, then dip down.

Great feedback, thanks! I'll definately look into that. I was planning on trying to avoid the Thruway, I'd like to keep the drive as scenic as possible, without getting to messy of a drive given the fact that I'll be towing a trailer.

Glad I found this thread; I am planning on moving out to Colorado in a few weeks and am driving out and towing a trailer. I also was looking for the most scenic option and have pretty much decided on getting around Chicago then going up to 90 and through the Badlands, over to Wyoming and then...

Hah, that must have been fun; hope there was lots of snow, would make for a nice snow shute!

Trails: Nineteen Mile Brook, Carter Dome, Carter-Moriah, Stony Brook Hikers: Scotzman + 9 Myself and a number of hiking friends from New York's capital district get together and do a hiking trip every summer and for the past couple years we've headed to the Whites for fun and relaxation and...

GL and rock it!

Sad development on Rainier, ranger dies trying to save stranded hikers near the summit. http://www.cnn.com/2012/06/22/us/washington-mount-ranier-death/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 Many thanks to all the rangers who do so much for so many.

Great pics and story. It looks like I'll be doing those mountains next month! :)

I hear NY has some nice mountains too! ;) Good point! :p

Date: Sunday 6.3.12 Trail: Kinsman Ridge, out and back This was the second day of hiking for what was looking to be a wash-out but again we were pleasantly surprised. There was a light rain when we reached the trailhead around 8:30am and we had a scattered shower once or twice throughout...
