Saw a fellow hiker this morning on my way to work...just curious who it was, black VW Golf. I was just short of the Easton exit on i-78. Couldn't catch up! :). Not often I see fellow 46r's in this area!

GOTCHA!! :rolleyes: I've actually decided to dub this hike The Flyswatter, because people were dropping like flys! We started out at the Loj parking lot with a temp of -16 at around 4:45 a.m. We were a group of six, but that dropped to 5 before we even left the lot. We set off with Marcy, Gray...

What is the minimum, and I mean minimum, bar space needed to fit a J Rack on a roof rack. I have a factory rack on a Mountaineer. I'd like to be able to fit my cargo box and my kayak on the rack. I refuse to spend $300-$400+ to buy a rack to go on my rack. I don't care if I can't open my...

For any of you interested....I was able to put together a video of pictures from my quest to become a 46er. It was a lot of fun to look through 10 years worth of pictures, starting with Mt Marcy, which was hiked on a "hey why not, it's right here" whim. Little did I know what I was getting...

THE HIKE I've been anticipating this day for years. On Saturday the day finally arrived. I got spend the weekend with my good buddies Adam and Seth at the Loj and on Saturday we made the drive over to the Round Pond trailhead. Dix loomed over 73 on the drive through Keene Valley, looking so...

Every year we go on a vacation with my entire family....12 of us in all. Over the winter it was decided on that we'd be headed to the Berkshire Mountains, our first visit to this area. After a little research on my part I realized I was relatively "close" to the High Peaks. Considering I'm used...

Taking a family vacation the end of July to the Berkshires, specifically, the town of Hancock, MA. We've never been there before, and I'm just wondering what's in the area to do? Hiking options, should I bring my kayak, stuff for kids ages 7 and 10, etc. I do know I'll be taking a trip to the...

Big Slide, Basin and Saddleback-MAY 14-16, 2010 Getting close....I can taste the 46! After much planning and trying to figure out how to best attack (or squeeze in as much as possible into one weekend) my remaining peaks I finally put a plan in place. Got some great advice from Cory D to just...

I'll throw in another trip report for the Santas. These peaks have been a long time coming for me, especially since I need them for my regular round. One failed attempt in early January and a planned trip that ended up falling through, I wasn't real sure if I'd ever make it! Back before the...

Dial-ing In Nippletop 3/6/2009 I headed up late Thursday night with my brother in law in hope of adding 4 peaks to my list. We had reservations at the Cascade Ski Center where we arrived to see our Room number taped to the door. The only problem was the door was locked! Not exactly a welcome...

A buddy of mine is spending the weekend in Bennington VT. He'd like to get out for a hike somewhere near by. What are some close peaks, or nice walks in the woods that anyone could recomend. Something trailed, well marked, etc. He's a winter hiker, snowshoes, prepared, etc just not too...

A little Adirondack flavor....or should I say flava' for all you New Englanders! It's been a long time coming, but I finally had the chance to get back to the woods and climb a few mountains. After a few hours work Thursday morning I made the drive up to Albany where I met up with 1ADAM12 and...

Anybody ever do any car camping or know of good car camping/campground spots in the Cape Cod area? Thanks!
