I think backpacking in general could see a bump as a movie with Reese Witherspoon will be coming out December- Wild. Based on Book by Cheryl Strayed's PCT hike.

Imagine our surprise to be heading down the Bondcliff Trail and around the corner Marty's head pops out! Great to see the three of you and catch up if only for a few minutes. Amazing clear skies. Weather was funny- one minute warm, next minute in the breeze and cool. We'll have to plan soon...

Never mind! thanks

Hi- looking for last second help, for the location of the trailhead parking for the Northern Terminus of the Escarpment Trail. Thanks!

Hey- thanks for the reply- funny- I was just looking at the section with Vromans Nose in it before coming here to check for response. I will likely start in Middleburgh and head towards West Fulton over Vromans Nose for the run. There are pretty detailed instructions on the Long Path...

Long Path Feedback from Northern Catskills to John Boyd Thacer State Park I am looking for any feedback on the sections of the Long Path from Northern Catskills to John Boyd Thacer State Park (Sections 25-34). I'll be doing an out and back trail run up to 10 miles each way so if any info on...

Nice report and pictrures as usual Earl. Rols and I had the benefit of personal guiding service from Marty for this hike. Only.....;)

Likely will try a run, with the limited time available to try and get as many miles in as I can. Will look at Hyde Park and Poets Walk and hopefully get to check each place out over the weekend. Thanks again all.

Thanks everybody for the ideas- will check 'em out and hopefully get out somewhere.......

Hi All- will be in Rhinebeck for a night or two with very limited free time so looking for any trails/hiking right in the area to get in a trail run or hike. Any feedback is appreciated.

I'll third this using the loop TDAWG uses. Its a regular loop I use- has some nice views, some nice short technical ups and downs but nothing difficult. In the 5+ times I have done this loop I have never seen another person beyond The Quarry Cutoff until returning on Straightback. I have...

Excellent, thanks for the replies!

Saw a report from a month ago and curious if the rest of the snow is gone by now. Thanks in advance for any feedback....

Not sure what all the fuss is about. There is nothing formal going on here and if they don't want to recognize Farmer's "record" or attempt then they don't have to. Hiking is totally variable from day to day; so take the comparison for what its worth. Who knows or cares if some other person...

I received a subscription courtesy of Sierra Tradingpost after a purchase last year.....

I have used this on long days, even hiking in the Whites... Camelback Octane XCT http://www.sunnysports.com/prod/CMLOXCT.html?srccode=cii_9324560&cpncode=25-493048-2 I use this for shorter days on the trails - GoLite HydrSwift http://www.golite.com/Product/ProdDetail.aspx?p=PA5912

I took the shot of his pack since it was so "Rols-ian":D

Clarke- Congrats again on completing "this portion" of your journey. Many other places to see in your future. I am glad I could meet you for your finish and other hikes as well. It was quite surreal seeing you emerge from the fog onto the North Twin summit. I think it was great you could...

You have forgotten another set of gatherings you set in motion, the charity hikes. There was usally a gathering of sorts around those. And yeah, the Catskills. While the tents were set up you will recall we slept in my truck to try and avoid the rain :D

What made this sighting different was it was less than a mile from my house. Pulled up behind a Ridgeline at red light -Rt. 111 and Brown Hill Rd at 1:15 in E Hampstead. My son actually noticed it- I was oblivious as usual.....
