Hi All, I seem to remember this question asked in the distant past but can't find it. Anyone have any recommendations and past experiences for a good boot repair in northern NJ? I thought there was someone very reputable in Bergen County but not sure. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Fall from Phelps 10/3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No this was not a tumbling down gravity thing. Definitely a beautiful uplifting autumnal experience climbing Phelps! Wow what a perfect fall day. Colors were at their peak down low, maybe...

Well after 30 plus years of hiking these mountains, and reading Alan's Catskill 67 book, I finally made it to this remote and unspoiled area. The Wildcats. Peakbagr, RobS, a group from Long Island and I met at the Slide Mountain parking area only to find a not so easy stream crossing. The...

I have been reading about the newest Rebel (SL1) coming out this month. It is said to be the smallest DSLR available. So far I haven't seen where anyone has had one in their hands to put to the test and put out a review. Supposedly it contains almost all the features that the T4I or new T5I...

Catskills: Ticeteneyck or is it Ticetonyk? Well there has been some debate in the past on this peak and it's spelling. But there will be little debate about the views of this lesser known mountain. Being inspired by Rivet and Beagle's report a few weeks back, Peakbagr, Bookah, Hermit and I found...

Hey everyone. Looking to do some hikes in Arizona probably late October or early November. Visiting relatives but I will definitely be sneaking away and heading for the trails with my pack and camera. I'll take any suggestions from our experts. Also any car trips I can do with The Mrs! Thanks.

Hello all. I know we are all hikers and campers here but I'm wondering if anyone has stayed in the Estes Park, CO area recently with a non hiking/camping wife? Looking to bring The Mrs out there to visit the area this September. Any cabins or condos that are not over the top expensive. It's been...

Wondering why I sometimes get black edges on images when I transfer them from a card reader onto my Mac computer. Looks like a cropping or image size ratio type of thing. It doesn't seem to effect the image quality or present any problems, and doesn't happen very often either. Just don't know if...

I haven't seen any user reviews on the newest Rebel XSI (since it's not out yet) but from what I've read of the features compared to my original Digital Rebel, this should be a huge upgrade. Wondering what all you Canon owners are thinking. I'm really looking forward to this one.

Anyone have experience with a hard half skirt, or know where to get one? A friend had seen one some years ago, and that it was made of some type of plastic . I have a Pungo 120 with it's large opening that's so easy getting in and out of. I definately don't want a full skirt but do want a...

Wow, what a cool trip! First, thanks to everyone here that had given me info a few weeks back. Took the family to Fairbanks for my son's (TundraTony) wedding, sightseeing and such. Checked out Chena Hot springs area, couple days around Denali NP and everywhere in between. Big beautiful state...

Anyone been to Denali NP in winter? Heading up to Alaska for the first time in February and looking for some day hikes in the area. Trying to fit in a day or two of semi long (short daylight) and maybe one or two days of scenic drives with the family. Not sure if the Park road is open or not...

I'm looking to do Friday and Balsam Cap but saw road closed signs on Moonhaw Rd. Does anyone know if you can get to the parking area or not? Any info appreciated. thanx,Tony.

Ok. Calling All Catskill Area Experts! I've Read In Only One Old Guide Book About Remains Of An Old Tory Fort About 300 Ft. From Summit Of Roundtop Mt. I Hiked In Early May A Few Years Ago, Up The Eastern Side, But Found Nothing. Vegetation Was Starting To Grow In Pretty Good, Maybe That Was The...

I've Heard Stories Of A Hiker Found Dead And Partially Eaten By A Bear On Friday Mtn. In The Catskills. I Think John Graham Has Mentioned This In The Past, If I Remember Right. Does Any One Have Any Details Or Info?
