I will be in Albany this weekend, and have about 3 - 4 hours to kill on Sunday morning. I'm totally unfamiliar with the area, other than the roads to the capitol. Are then any good hikes around that would take 3 to 4 hours including driving time? Thanks for any help. Keith

While camping at Sylight Brook before doing Allen this past weekend, the question came up - What would you do if all available tent sites at the area you were going to camp in were all full, with no spots available around, and nothing else established in the area? Luckily, it has not happened...

OK - this may sound dumb, but I've never worn gaiters before. A got a pair from Campmor for Christmas and want to wear them on a trip to Tabletop tommorrow. Question is - there is a shoelace running through two grommets on the opposite sides of the openning at the bottom. What do I do with...
