We will be hiking the Davis Path to Mt. Isolation next weekend and will set up camp along the way. Where would there be reliable water this time of year?

I can't understand why the DEC doesn't install bear vaults in the high use areas. They seem to be in all of the National Parks and have been for years. This is even more important now with this bear who can open the canisters.

Attemped Doubletop from Big Indian yesterday. Never saw the view. Looking back at the map now I don't think we went far enough. Nothing new there but the reason I am posting this is to let you know of the fantastic waterfalls on Dry Brook further up from Flatiron. If you keep heading up the road...

Panther mountain from Fox Hollow. Only made it to first summit/over look. If we didn't turn around at that point it would of been wet since it started pouring by the time we got to the car. Met a young lady just starting up as we were descending. She didn't look like she knew what she was doing...

We have never been to Pharoah lake and will be heading there in a couple days. Are bears an issue there this time of year? Don't really want to bring the canister if we don't have to.

Icy conditions. Some of us had crampons and others had screws in their boots. Crampons worked better but not required.

Is there any camping allowed in this area this time of year? If not, any suggestions close by to car camp?

I am planning a Boy Scout outing in a couple weeks (during deer season). Any suggestions for a camping spot close enough to haul wood too not populated by hunters?

I've never camped in the Dacks during this time period. Are the black flies at their peak or is it tolerable?

Found! Sparky showed up yesterday at someone's house down the other side of Hunter in Lanesville. He (and we) are very relieved but he is completely worn out. Thanks for all your input.

White English Setter lost 5/7 AM between Devil's Acre Lean-to and Hunter summit. If you saw him after 9 AM please let me know where and when.

What about paws icing up? Is there a breed that is less susceptible to ice buildup? I have an English Setter that can hike more miles than I will ever be able, however he will get ice between his paws which will eventually lead to bleeding.

Please tell me you aren't being serious.

I know it is private property, but I don't agree that they can do whatever they want. They are located in one of the most beautiful places in the country and they should be obligated to allow public access at all times. I realize this reeks of socialism but should the ones with the most money...

Why are the trails closed? Are hunters on private land more likely to shoot hikers verses hunters on public land?

Marmot sleeping bag Any input on the Marmot 5 degree Snowy Range bag? It is on sale at Sierra trading post for $199 (long).

But how can you skip the Sunnyside Diner? It may not have internet access but it has the best food.
