the slow updating is due to AMC beaucracy - when the lady that did the 111 was ready to retire a friend in NY and i both put in a bid for it (one to handle new members and the other to put out a newsletter) and were told it was already being given to the 4000 footer comittee (dickerman) - the...

>>....cancellation on Wildcat D. can use the tram for family and friends and a supply run if need be<< i took Wildcat D - FOT48 can't use the tram for the event, the website says it will be down for maintenance all weekend...

my first trip up marcy many years ago was my first taste of ADK and the high parking fees, that's why i decided to never be a member - i think it sucks - i would rather walk from south meadow than give them too much money to park (and now they want to make it so no one can park there)??? the...

from those overpriced parking fees that they charge there?

i did the long path northern excursion a few years ago from gilboa to altamont (section 27-34) to get the patch and certificate (see my avatar for patch) and it was all done during november and december (deer season), i saw a few hunters (and i even came across a few "gut piles")...

i found out - - - the land was re-leased for another 20 years to the camp when the first lease expired - it has now (just this month) been completely sold to the nature conservancy (160,000 acres) - it is still unknown what will become of the current leasees - for the next 18 months finch pruyn...

i was there yesterday and told them that they should be "selling" the steps like they did to raise money for mount utsayanthia (when you gave them a $50 donation they would put your name on a step) - - - they told me that they were "selling" thier steps for $75 each - i have looked at thier...

as far as i know the falls now belongs to a boys camp - the land was leased from the company to the camp for 20 years - as far as i know when the lease ran out, the camp bought the land (i went there years ago and now my son goes every summer) - a couple years ago while dropping my son off i...

i like up huntington and down tuckermans myself, but you could come back down lions head, bott spur, glen boulder if you prefer - - if you want a nice loop, one of the nicest is the baldface loop, many nice views - but do it in the fall - baldface loop has many reds & yellows in the fall (not...

well - we could leave the trivial task of determining the true summit to the "kings" since no one really cares except them anyway - - but with people waiting for thier "rewards"... why are they making the easiest part of the experience the worst part???? it's crazy for them to keep the thing...

if it were automated, then they could send a certificate for you to print out at home and a full size hi-resolution picture of the patch for you to print on tee-shirt iron-on transfer paper - - - - and then they could give you a buck fifty for a slice of pizza and you wouldn't have to go to the...

i too offered many times and was turned down - when i heard priscilla was retiring from the northeast 111 and turning it over to the FTFC i volunteered to do the 111ers to keep it from becoming like the FTFC (when priscilla robertson did it you would receive your patch in less than 2 weeks) -...

if they aren't biting good in the hole you can put something in the hole like a short piece of wire or toothpick to make the hole tighter has anyone tried lockwashers to keep them from loosening in the first place (there are several types of toothed and helical (split ring) - - my guess would...

i have the MSRs and bought the long tail - they do a nosedive while wearing the tail but that is what you have to live with for more flotation... i usually dont use them in the winter though (MSRs are very solid with no flexible deck, very hard on the feet) i have worn them all day and they...

Stewart's? what would you do if someone that wasn't shopping in your store parked in your lot all day taking up spot that a paying customer could be in??? it's called "will be towed at vehicle owner's expense" - i would meet there and then park on the street someplace near by...
