I picked up the National Geographic Adirondack map. I like the incremental trail distances and the important features stand out a little better. I've pretty much settled on starting at Upper Works and heading in to the Flowed Lands. From there I'm making a counterclockwise loop starting...

Thanks for the info. I was looking over some of the suggested routes on the map I have from the Adirondack Trails High Peaks Region book. Are there any better maps available than this one? I'm used to the maps in the White Mountain guidebooks which have more detail and color to get a better...

I'm heading out to the Adirondacks for the first time mid August. Most of the hiking I've done in the past has been in ME/NH/VT and I'd like to see something new. I plan on going for about 4 days with a 3 day/2 night trip and maybe a shorter dayhike to start or end the trip. I'm looking for...

Wish I knew you were headed up that way. I did Chain of Ponds Snow and some of the 4K's in the area again over the weekend. I was a little chicken to do the few other 6pack peaks I still need like Boundary and Whitecap by myself. Congrats on getting them all by yourself in one long weekend.

We did go down the Flume slide with a couple detours around the steep parts. It was really no problem especially considering how dry the trail was.

Hey I passed your group on Flume summit. Chester is still upset he didn't get the sandwich.

I've had a similar experience with my pair. They are about the lightest, most comfortable shoes I've used but the problems are starting to outweigh the good points. I've noticed that the soles tend to slip a lot, they aren't very waterproof and the soles are slightly pealing away. Every pair...

So it is just off the trail. I'll stomp around in the area for a while and call it good. Thanks

Which bump is the actual north isolation peak? I can't seem to point it out exactly on the map. I hear it is not far off the trail. Is there a canister there too?

As far as I know it's off. Ross had something come up. I'm not sure if the rest of the group is still going or not.

Hey Ron thanks for putting the trip together. The day ended up being a little too long and hot for Chester. Actually the heat was getting to me a little too. I think he's just losing his winter coat now and seemed unusually warm. After leaving South Bald face we went ahead across N. Baldface...

I had a great time hooking up with you guys for the day. Let's do it again sometime. Hopefully I can work it out so I can camp out and enjoy the festivities next time. Jeff

I happened to be at the Emerald pool yesterday. Jamie it reminds me of Indian's Last Leap on the Mousam. I'll probably be up fishing in the area that weekend but I much prefer floating the Andro compared to fishing the Wild.

I have next week off and want to get in some decent trips to the Whites or western Maine mtns. If anyone is looking for company I'm open to suggestions whether it's a bushwack, wants to spot cars, whatever..let me know. Chester will be coming along depending on the trip and the weather. Jeff

Pileated woodpecker possibly?
