Howdy! I'm thinking about spending some time this April in San Diego visiting family and would like some suggestions for places to hike, mtb or run relatively nearby. An extra special trip idea that wouldn't be more than a day would also be appreciated. Thanks and Merry Christmas!! Inge :)

Howdy! I am planning a trip to spend a couple of days to hike Camel's Hump, then do some cycling over the Lincoln, App, Middlebury, Brandon Gap roads. We are coming from the Charlotte Ferry and would like to stay central to this area. Can anyone recommend a favorite place to stay - b'n b...

Yesterday as I was getting ready to go out for a run, there was a HUGE explosion! As I felt the foundation shake, I thought that there wouldn't be anything left if I looked out the window. Surprisingly all seemed fine?! I'm wondering if any rock let loose?!!!:D

What a hooooooot!! I love my newest piece of gear. Anyone else? It will be a permanent attachment to my pack until the snow melts! I'd rate it right behind my microspikes for fav gear item!:D:D

Howdy! A group of friends are thinking about doing a hut to hut trip w/ mountain bikes. We were wondering if anyone had a particular trip to recommend. A trip out West, w/ support (meals, sleeping stuff etc.) would be ideal, but anything along these lines would be nifty. Anyone done something...

Howdy! Does anyone know if Rockwell Road or Notch Road are open to the public yet? Looking fwd to checking out some new pavement! :D Thanks!

Just thought I'd pass this idea along.:) Since I have had my Microspikes fall off after getting stuck on a branch or stub, I decided to put 'safety' straps on them so they don't get left behind. I modified some leashes I had around the house from assorted college / business promotions. These...

Anyone interested in getting together for some trailrunning? The Taconic Crest Trail is quite close to home for me. I would also like to check out some of the trails mentioned at adktrailrun.com which provides a multitude of route maps (and some gear review). With winter approaching some...

I am considering getting a SPOT messaging system for when I'm in the woods alone. They cost about $100 (after $50 rebate :)), have an annual fee of another $100 and seem like "essential" gear. Does anyone have experience using one? It seems advantageous to send status updates as well as...

Am I a ding-dong for thinking that maybe I should wear a bell while trailrunning at this time of year? I had on a red hat and colorful clothing, but it just seemed like maybe some kind of noice other than me crunching down the icy trail would be more of an alert that I'm not a deer?! In the...

Howdy! I'm thinking of doing this route w/in the coming week or less. Would anyone know if snowshoes are necessary? Thanks for your thoughts/info! Inge :)

Last year I ran into a bit of trouble while attempting to climb Saddleback from Basin. (Fortunately a couple of strong men were not far behind and assisted me up the icy ledge!! :D Thanks again!) This year I expect that the ice has set in even earlier and I hope to succeed again in summitting...

A bunch of years ago I greatly enjoyed a winter trip complemented with a hot meal ready when we just pulled the string. While at EMS today I learned that they no longer sell these. Does anyone know where I can get one of these "pull the string" for a steaming hot meal? Thanks for any info on...

While enjoying the wonderfully maintained route to Allen this past weekend, I met "B.Porter and Murph". I am interested in asking about their proposed plan, but do not have an email. Would anyone happen to know this dynamic duo? Thanks for any assistance. Inge :)
