T-Lake Falls last fall

That's funny. I work for a county highway department and years ago a person called requesting that a deer crossing sign be put up because several deer were getting hit by cars in the area. My coworker told the person that we don't put up deer crossing signs anymore because we were having a hard...

Nice pictures. I thought this was going to be a thread on Snake pictures. Anyway, here's one that I spied on the trail to Mt. Adams. In the vicinity of the rangers cabin.

Especially if there is fresh snow covering the hard pack that is there now.

Whetstone Gulf State park is a nice place to hike. Check the following link for information http://adirondackstughill.com/whetstonegulf.php Snow is in the forescast for this weekend so conditions should be good.
