So, it's that time to start planning, I guess I'm a tad bit late in the notice. Third weekend in August - same place same time. August 17-19 at the Magic Pines Campground In Lewis. Get off exit 33 and head South on Rte 9 and it will be on the left OR get off Exit 32 follow Stowersville Road...

The morning so breezy and cold We were unsure how the day would unfold We drove to the trail in a in a spitting and slight hail Would this be a day we would fail Stepping from our subie we check the snow it was soupy We donned our traction for spite not sure if it would be wrong or be right...

Well I guess we got one last really good spring hike in before the rain decided to hit us. Beansprout and I were hanging around Burlington the other day and decided that Abraham might be a nice little Jaunt, so we got out the road atlas and headed over to the Battell (sp) Trail. As we drove up...

It had been a while since I worked on some quad peaks; today I had the day off and decided to remedy that. With my eyes closed I stuck my finger out onto a quad list and what came out was the Paradox Lake quad. Now that I had the hard part out of the way I had to study the map and decide which...

Let me know if you are coming, not coming, maybe coming. I'm not looking for set in stone, just to get an idea of what to expect. I am working with ADK to see if we can have it at the Loj Campground in the group sites. This will put everyone right there with no driving involved.

So, I'm heading up to Maine for a week with Corenne and we want to get the 11 4000 footers outside of Baxter. I got all taken care of except the best approach to Reddington. I seem to remember taking a herd path from South Crocker, is that the best approach since I will be up there anyhow? Then...

Just a little poll to get an idea of where everyone would like to have the next gathering. The campground has been great to us the last couple years, and the price is right, but it's a little away from the peaks. Just thinking ahea for next year so I can do a little research on availablity...

Well it's that time of year again to start thinking about another get together. Here's a little run down. You guys are ok to show up on thursday, just give the campsite a heads up. I will post the # real soon. Date August 20-22 Where Magic Pines campground in Lewis,New York, same as last...

Has anyone got any word about the winter route up cliff? Has it been touched as of late?

Just a friendly reminder that we will be having a summer gathering at our place in Westport. The dates will be August 6th-9th. As always anyone is welcome to pitch a tent in the backyard. As August gets closer we post a more detailed itinerary. We just wanted to put the dates out there so you...

Well it's that time of year again to start thinking about another get together. As promised it's going to be the second weekend in August. I know it's a few months early to be posting this, well maybe, but maybe this time no excuses. Here's a little run down. Thursday The party starts slow...

Heading out on March 9th to do Allen for my W46. It's also Brians W46. Leaving the Trailhead at 6am. All are welcome more hte merrier.

Looking for someone to join me on this little quest to get another W peak or two or four. I would even consider going over to South and East Dix for a traverse if someone wanted in to spot a car. I would start hiking around 6am, no later, for either hike. Anyone off work on thursday or want...

We talked about this last winter, me and few friends-so lets get the ball rolling. This peak can be a bear in winter, at least from what I've heard. I wouldn't feel like I finished the W46 without it. We will need a large group I think for the herd path, to get it broken out and lay the trail...

Yes after the clouds parted, we could see a dusting of snow on the trees at around 3500' or so. It's coming, we're suppose to get more over the weekend, not much, and most likly not abything down low. Placid, maybe.

A little late notice on this one, but.... Brian and I are going to the Skinny Slide on Upper Wolf Jaw on saturday morning with a hike over to Armstrong and down a gully back to the trail for a small bushwhack loop before the 46r meeting. We are starting from the Garden at 7:30am and following...

“It’s a great day for a long approach to an easily accessible peak”, that was our thought the morning of our trek to the start of the Burning Heart Gully. There’s nothing like putting a new twist on one of the most popular peaks in the Adirondacks-Algonquin Peak. We started our hike by...

It’s hard to believe that this route is rarely used anymore, and the standard route is pounded by thousands every year. Compared to the standard route it’s less than ½ the distance, but still takes about as long. Picture taking mostly; that’s what slowed us down. We started this hike from the...

This was quite an adventure that started us at the Elk Lake Trailhead. We followed the trail toward Slide Brook which is also the gateway to eastern approach to the Dix Range. Following the mostly level, hard pack trail we were at the bridge crossing over Slide Brook in what seemed to me like...
