Whenever I am up in the Alpine Zone of the High Peaks, I think of his name and the work he did to preserve these fragile areas. Nice write-up here http://adirondackdailyenterprise.com/page/content.detail/id/514127.html?nav=5008

Do the Flatiron! It's about 40 minutes from Tempe down the road in the Superstitions - Lost Dutchman State Park/Siphon Draw trailhead. A great 3-4 hour roundtrip hike up to a spectacular scramble up to the "Flatiron". Or you can just go up the draw to the bottom of the steeper climb...

Oh no! But they are shutting down the Charlotte-Essex ferry after tomorrow until Spring, citing "ice." :rolleyes: Pretty bogus reason and short notice to a lot of folks. http://www.wcax.com/Global/story.asp?S=11922306

Well said, Clarence.

This bit of information is interesting. You would think they would have turned it on by now, unless it was damaged.

Latest news The bridge can't be fixed - it needs to be replaced. They are going to set up a free ferry service nearby as soon as feasible. The Charlotte-Essex Ferry is now free for the time being.

Love the bridge - hate the speed traps on the NY side!

Ferry service The Charlotte-Essex ferry has expanded its service, although it hasn't announced the winter schedule yet. It runs through the winter - depending on ice - but I'll bet they'll be sure to keep the channel open this year. http://www.ferries.com/south_schedule.asp It's a very sad...

Encore! A memorable adventure and a great read. Thanks!

Ha! I'll second the recommendation of Tom about K9 Topcoat. Tucker has hair, not fur and loves the cold weather. But snow, especially fresh snow collects on him and turns his coat into a sea of ice balls. I got the Lycra suit - not insulated - for him. I got it from the website. He...

Finally got Carol White's book out of the library. Brings back memories! thanks!

Two words... Child abuse

Yeah, it happens all over! In 1994 I was hiking the Kungsleden Trail in Northern Sweden with my sister. We were hiking hut-to-hut and didn't see a lot of people on the trail. Along the trail came two, very large German women hiking in their underwear, seemingly oblivious that their appearance...

That's good to know. I haven't been to Vanderwhacker for a long time and the road is the reason why.

I went outside around 11:30 last night for a few minutes and saw one within 5 minutes. It was partly cloudy and the moon wasn't too high yet. I was going to get up before dawn and look for more - but the clouds had taken over.
