Going to the Portland area for the 1st week of August, wondering about some help with camping/hiking/things to do/points of interest. Would like to try and do as much as possible, I heard there is an Island you can hike out to in low tide? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, and thank...

Anybody hiking(or looking to hike) these dates? My usual suspects are all busy with life, and I have a rare two day window to get out. I will do anything off the 100 highest list in the back of the guidebook. I'll do slide climbs, bushwacks, or just a plain old peak or three. I know it's short...

I skied Marcy last year at this time of year and it was worth the 4 hour trip from my house. I haven't been up there in a few weeks and I would like to know if anyone has any beta on snow conditions. I've heard about rain and thawing. Is the skiing still an option? I'm thinking about this sunday.

I just want to give a heart felt thank you to all the employees of the town of Newcomb highway department. Not only are these guys responsible for keeping the road to upper works open for those of us that partake in the use of that trailhead, they are just all around great guys. My alternator...

I'm hiking tomorrow, last minute decision. Anyone want to bag a peak? If noone signs on I'll probably just hike cascade and porter, but if anyone has larger aspirations I'll hike just about anything.

Looking to get a quick high peak hike in wednesday. Open to nearly all ADK possibilities. If anyone is interested drop me a line. Street and Nye, Giant-Rocky peak, or maybe Colden are tops on my list. Open to other hikes though.

I will be hiking the Sewards this weekend, and the gate to the summer parking is open as of right now. Snow is in the forecast. This is for anyone local to the area. If it were to snow while I am in there, would they leave the gate open so I can get my car out, or would it be locked in until I...

I have read that snow can contain giardia, and you should melt, then boil it for 3-5 minutes to kill any protozoans that may be present. In the past, I have just melted the snow, and drank it without any problems. Now that I plan on finishing some winter tick lists, I have been thinking about...

It's a tough sell getting any of my usual friends to go away on halloween, so anybody here in vfttland want to get a hike in for Sunday? I'll be heading in from the loj sometime around 7am if you're interested. Straight up Algonquin, over boundary, up Iroquois, down to the tooth, then descend...

I'm wondering if anyones hiking tomorrow in the Adirondacks? If noone replies, I'm hiking Snowy with my dog. If anyone has any plans for a high peak, or one of the other 54 let me know--Doug

This isn't a should a dog hike there question so flamers need not reply. I plan on daytripping on one of the high peaks with a friend and my dog this saturday. I would like to stay off of fragile summits, and avoid crowds(and a leash). I'm thinking Seymour or Allen. I don't know if the hunters...

weather research area parking on whiteface When I climbed Whiteface and Esther, I went in from the reservoir. Is this the same as the weather research parking area? I'm on short notice, and I need to know. Anybody in vfttland know? Go to wilmington, hang a left up the road towrds the toll road...

I'm driving up tomorrow afternoon to sleep out somewhere. When I get to the trailhead for snowy(friday night), does anyone know of a spot to pitch a tent without being a rulebreaker? Just go into the woods for 150 feet and find a nice spot? I plan on having two smallish children with me, and...

I met and went hiking with Neil, who kindly responded to my post on trying to find someone to do this hike with--noone was really willing to try this one. So we met up at the loj, and set off for indian pass. The trail to the lean-to is in great shape, with a few water crossings, but fast and...

My usual partner has obligations, and I'm either going kayaking on the deerfield or genesee, or trying to hike(I'd rather hike). I'd like to go in from the Loj, and try it from wallface ponds. If you'd like to try it, post here, pm or email me. I've heard it's a great little hike. I don't know...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was going in to hike haystack and basin for my grand finale, and I was fortunate enough to have the company of ALG, Mavs00, adkatie, everestnbd, marcygirl, peakbgr, bushwacker, and Jenn(who doesn't have a screen...

With a spotted car, this is doable as a dayhike? I've only hiked in the adirondacks, and this will be my first trip to the whites. The people I'm doing it with told me it's 19.8 miles and alot of elevation gain/loss. The mileage doesn't really bother me, I've done that much before, but do people...

Anyone on here canoe with thier dog? I want to buy one, but it needs to be stable enough for a four legged companion, and room for another paddler also. So does anyone have an idea for a model of canoe that could fit this purpose? I just looked at some mad river models, and they were close to...

I was cleaning out my trunk today and there was a full canister of fuel that has been in there for two weeks. I don't usually make a habit of leaving them in my trunk, but it happens(I must be lazy when I get home from a hike). I was wondering if the summer heat is a problem for leaving them in...
