Anyone have any experience with kid's snowshoes? My grandchildren are 5-10 years old and weigh from ~40 -90 lbs. They'll be using these mostly in and around a ski area so there will be a mix of mostly packed and semi-packed snow and occasionally some deeper stuff away from the trails. I'm...

I'll be bringing chili and a mac salad. Oh, and coffee!! teejay

August 16-18, 2013. Details to follow. teejay

I'll be in the North Country, Potsdam, this weekend and am looking for some diversion on Saturday. I'm planning to be at the trailhead about 11:00 AM if anyone is intrested in a short, easy hike with a firetower reward. teejay

I'll be camping with my grandchildren and family near Cooperstown this weekend (Shadow Brook Campground north of C'town). Other than the area's must-sees including the Baseball Hall of Fame, does anyone have any hiking suggestions nearby suitable for an energetic 8 and 6 year-old and maybe a 3...

EDIT: 4/9/11: If you're reading this for the first time or were ready to order, see my new post on the next page under "BREAKING NEWS" for lower pricing and a revised order form. The original order form has been deleted. I think I've finally worked out most of the details with a supplier so...

Please read this post completely!!!! New VFTT patches and stickers have been ordered and are expected to be ready for mailing in about 4 weeks or so. (I'm completely at the mercy of the supplier.) Time to scrape up a few bucks and start sending in your orders now. The cost for stickers is $...

I'm planning on Climbing Seward either Wednesday the 18th or Thursday the 19th. Anyone interested? teejay

Well, it's about time we had a beer night here in Syracuse. Next Tuesday, Nov. 3 at The Retreat, 302 Vine St., just off Rt. 370 in downtown Liverpool. I'll be getting there about 5-5:30 and we'll be on the "porch." (Don't worry, it's inside.) Just ask for teejay. Write it on your calendar now...

My tentative plan is to head in to Upper Works the morning of Tuesday August 4 and pack in to Uphill or Feldspar Lean-to. From there the goal is to get as many of Gray, Cliff and Redfield as possible before hiking out Wednesday late in the day. Any and all are welcome and I'd love the company...

I don't usually post trip reports here, I'll leave that up to others. And I certainly wouldn't feel inclined to report a hike up mighty Mt. Jo in the Adirondacks, unless it were more memorable than usual in some way. I stayed last weekend at the ADK's Wiezel Trails Cabin at Heart Lake with...

Planning to climb Seward via Calkins Brook, Thursday July 3. Anyone? teejay

I plan on climbing tiny little Poke-O-Moonshine next Friday, the 23rd. Hiking the "new" trail which begins about a mile south of the campground on Rt. 9. This trail was recently described in Adirondack Explorer. The climb is moderate, gaining ~1200' in about 2 miles. I plan on a relaxed hike...

The owners of Bear Vault®are offering an upgraded lid for the BV 350/400 that they hope will thwart the bear at Marcy Dam that has figured out how to open them. Right now it appears that only one bear in the area has learned how to open them, but it's only a matter of time before others learn...

On my last visit in to Coreys Road, many of the sites were occupied by semi-permanent looking structures that obviously weren't the typical tent camper's. I stopped at the first one, on the left, just over the bridge, and chatted with the very friendly, hospitable people there (three couples)...

Here's my plan: I'll head north on Tuesday and plan to arrive at the Cathedral Rock (near Wanakena) trailhead about noon. Make the short climb to the fire tower. Then head in to Coreys Road and set up camp. Wednesday morning, get an early start and climb Seward via Calkins Brook route...
