Even if the lodge is closed, there is an outside spigot so long as the water is on... Jay

Like jfb, I got mine at the Mountain Goat in Williamstown but it is no more.. I would think the Arcadian shop would have it or perhaps even the William's College bookstore, it is their outing's club, ya know... :) Jay

I have all three, I have the DCR map, the AMC map, and the Williams Outing's Club map.. Despite being paper, I like the WOC map the best... They also have nice descriptions of the smaller peaks in the Taconic Range, their lands that they maintain and other nice short hikes in the northern...

Might not be the only thing you'd find :) Me, I'll stick to Neko Atsume... http://fox13now.com/2016/07/14/pokemon-go-player-finds-dead-body-in-new-hampshire-park/

Hey, that looks familiar :) Jay

Timely post. I lost an old MH shell (Conduit) and just bought a Rab Viper 2.5L DVL) from a store for $140... I'll see how it is but it's gotten some good reviews for it's price.... Jay

haha, I know that steep descent north of berlin mtn! Was there any snow/ice in the Snow Hole? Nice obscure trip report in an area near me. I used to live just down the hill from the TCT south of Berry Pond, I'd take some woods roads and stuff occasionally up towards Tower mtn and West/Smith...

Date: Friday, Sep 25th Route: Notch Road parking lot to Bellows Pipe trail to Summit then A.T. north to Williams Reservoir on Pattison Road. trails are dry and in good shape. Somebody burned a 5ft hole into the Bellows Pipe Leanto (prob from a cook stove gone awry) so it's missing a big chunk...

Correct, to expand on David's reply, the Adirondack Org's Firetower Challenge also has you hiking 5 of the 5 Catskill firetowers but that is not the same list as the 46er list (or the NE 115) As per the OP's other question, I presume you are talking about South Meadow Rd which has some popular...

FYI: The ADK org does have 2 ? leantos across from JBL itself that is reservable, but for members and not free... But the normal leantos out and around the park are not as mentioned already. http://www.adk.org/page.php?pname=johns-brook-leantos Jay

ha, yeah this is garmin's flat fee service charge, which it seems they still do. I had an old b&w etrex many years ago which broke the clickstick and garmin wanted $125 or something like that to "repair". I simply took a pin and a glue gun and drive the pin into the nub so I could still use the...

Date: Sunday, 7/26/15 From: Shelving Rock Road, (Hogback) out and back Northern approach was fairly dry, stream that the trail follows was almost dry but the rocks and roots were slightly wet. Usual trash at the summit from this popular peak :( Bugs were surprisingly mostly absent at the...

I agree with Mike that if you have an old MTB to lock up at the end, you can bike back to your start on tripoli road. Jay
