    Jupiter/Venus conjunction

    If you're camping out, or even if you're home and have to set the alarm, this will be worth seeing. The viewing conditions should be good. Half a degree of separation is really close. If conditions are excellent Mars (near the horizon) and Mercury should also be visible. Space Weather News...

    Wolfjaws and "Clueless from Quebec" - February 25-27, 2011

    I'm from Hudson, NY. If you had called this report "Clueless from Hudson," I would have been so mad at the ignorance of these two hikers I would have said, "Who are these idiots?" Not taken offense, at all. I am rather surprised at the reactions this trip report is receiving. Sounds like a...

    Double flyover ISS and Discovery tonight

    Florida paddling suggestions?

    I loved camping in Flamingo and doing day trips from there. There are overnight/camping options too. Flamingo was a lot less built-up than I'd expected, due to the devastating hurricanes five years ago. You drive 40 miles through Everglades NP and there you are, the road ends in Flamingo. The...

    Almost The Last Trip Of North Country Paddling Season

    Yes, that's a huge bay in the area of the lighthouse and the Mills Mansion. I have been looking at the Hudson lately, still thinking about one more trip, but it has been very windy this past week.

    Hudson Webcam North Germantown

    Foggy today; can't see much. This would be good for checking out current conditions - choppy, smooth, etc. if you were planning to launch from there.
