lots Lots of ice on Lake Pleasant this weekend. 20", mostly good ice, one 4" layer of mush towards the top. L

In Speculator Bubba, Daxs, and Teejay, If your plans take you anywhere near Speculator, stop in to either Wards or my place. There's always Snowy mountain (and loads others, Pillsbury...) in Hamilton County to climb. Boat is still in the water, and there are 7 yaks available! Wardy is there...

Spence, Congrats. I'll expect an autograph on my copy when I see you again!

Bubba, I thought you were older than that? Didn't you tell me about signing up for Social Security? Glad to hear that you are on the mend. I'll bet your wife hasn't given you a hard time about it either!!!! Maybe a few days up at my camp would speed up your recovery......slam

deja vu...... After hiking the last couple years with pain so bad I couldn't even describe it, I went to the docs. I'm actually picking up some orthotics in a couple hours. It's somewhat funny, because I never really mentioned the pain because there was no redness, no swelling to speak of etc...

A coworker just stopped into my office with a 9.5 oz can of Hillside Coffee made by OnTech. He knows I spend a lot of time outdoors, and that I love my coffee. He gave me this can of coffee which was hot. Not just warm, but hot. I didn't read the can completely but you pull a couple of tabs (I...

A stones throw! Bob, Great trip report on a beautiful area. Remember that Ward (Malcolm) and are just down the street on Route 30. I think I even gave you his number. You're always welcome to a warm bed and home cooking. Unfortunately, the pizza at four corners is a litttle weak. We wound up...

Congrats! Nice TR, Congrats on your 46! Seems like it was a popular weeknd to finish! L

I'll wait for the "Official" TR but can add a little. Bubba's plan was to meet at the trailhead at 7:30. Got there about 7:20 and waited till 8:00 when I thought, maybe they are coming in from the loj instead....and I started off solo. Took a lot of time and stopped at Calamity Pond for a food...

Windex For what it's worth, I have used Windex and very hot water and a course scrub brush to clean sneaker soles, golf grips etc and it has always worked great. L

A couple others... There is also Pillbury Mountain which has a fire tower. A little to the north off route 30 you can make your way up Snowy and Lewey Mtns. For an easy one, you can take a stroll up Oak Mountain (the Ski Center) which is just down Elm Lake Road (Speculator 4 corners). The...

See my other post.... (Finally) I just said it on the 9.0 thread. I'm 99% sure I'm in. I'll work Ward and see if he can join us. I may even head back to Placid with you, as I think I'm going to take a week or two off then.

Number WHAT?????? Bubba, Tell me it aint so.......Let me know when the Marshall trek is coming off. Who could miss your 46th! Lance

Saw one Although not in a beech tree, this was in a black cherry tree. I was fishing the Jessup River out of the yak and heard all sorts of comotion in the brush adjacent to the river. I assumed it was a bear and was hoping to see it as I had my camera. Then, a relatively small black cherry...

other threads?? I think I've read posts on this before(?) but not positive. Maybe someone can post a link? We hike in the Daks. I may be too trustworthy, but we have always left all of our gear wherever we stay, lean-to or tenting. We've never had a problem. We have also left a bunch of gear...

I had used an old pair of regular old ski poles for my 46 and more. They say all good things must come to an end, and I snapped one off coming back from Coochie in February. I need to get a new pair and have done some searching. Let me expalin that the reason I used a regular old one peice ski...

Nice trip! Bob, Nice trip report and great to see you post again. Haven't seen you on the board in a while. Sounds like you had an awesome hike. Any photos coming our way? I too have had some things get in the way of climbing the last few months, but have 4 weeks of vacation to burn by end of...

Agree... I agree that the Santas get a bad rap. After my first trip up there (completely shredding my pants, arms and face) I doubted I would be returning. Been back three other times. Had one unsuccessful trip to Cooch this past winter in a blizzard, and a successful trip to Cooch this winter...

Thanks! Nice job, great photos, thanks for all the hard work you and the rest of the crews do to make our lives a little more comfortable! L

King of cracked feet.... I won't get too specific with details......suffice it to say that I got huge problems. Bag Balm works pretty well. I often use Corn Huskers underneath, and then apply a bit of Bag Balm over the top, then cover with a baggie or sock. If you are hiking and in a real...
