    stolen backpack

    :) well, although I certainly would rather encounter pixies ( or at least deal with them), this did appear to be the work of a human.

    stolen backpack

    In all my years of hiking in the ADK, I've never had anything taken. This past weekend, doing Tabletop and Phelps one of my kids friends didn't feel great, and left his pack about 20 ft up the phelps trail from the VH. I had told him, don't worry, people drop packs, water, etc. all the time...

    Hiking & Marathon Training

    The most beautiful marathon you can run is the Adirondack Marathon, out of Schroon Lake, in Sept. The scenery is spectacular and the energy from the crowd just great. If you get into ( and want to do NYC) do the ADK marathon as a half-marathon-it's good preparation. This marathon answers all...

    New Herd Pathfor Cliff??

    Does anyone know anything about the "rumor" that the herd path for Cliff will be worked on anytime in the future, making it akin to the path for Street and Nye? I've done it, but now my husband wants to finish up his 46, and he's not relishing the long, lovely day of Redfield (which I really...

    How far do you drive?

    how far do you drive I agree with steve- I live on long island- a prison sentence in and of itself- and I ( and my husband) don't think twice about the 5-6 hr drive to the ADK. I'll go up one safternoon, stay overnight, and do whatever I want the folowing day- usually get an early...
