    LOST in Catskills: GPS at Mckinley Trailead or Shelter. Balsam and Eagle 12-26,27

    Lost on 12-26 or 12-27. I believe it fell out of my pack when loading or unloading...most likely at the parking area at the bridge. I never even used it on the trip :(. It could be elsewhere, but I doubt it because maybe other than at the shelter or the summit of Eagle I really didn't open my...

    FOUND. iPhone 5 on Giant recovered and WORKING from likely lost in 2015!!! Wow.

    I found this on the ledge to the north of the summit from the Owl Head Lookout route. It was in a high-quality waterproof case. I dried it out for a few days and it works. The last update was nearly three years ago. There is a picture of a baby on the only screen I can see before the lock...

    Map of Southern Catskills

    Was lost on the morning of 7-16 descending Slide to Denning TH on the upper reaches of the route. Has any 3500'ers marked in red marker. I know it's a long-shot and hopefully someone found it and is using it. I'll gladly pay the postage. I wanted to keep the same set of maps the whole way...

    Blackheads 7-14, and "THE NINE" Table-Slide Loop 7-14 to 7-16-17 CATSKILLS

    Having done all the 4k peaks at least once I figured it was time to do some hiking in the Skills for the first time (in the 3500 area) in ten years which was when I did Hunter and Slide with my now wife. 7-14-17 Blackhead Range (Out and Back) Evening accent of via Camel's Hump of Thomas...

    Catskill Shuttle Service/Taxi??? Devil's Path in July.

    I am weighing options for myself and a friend regarding the Devil's Path. We want to do a traverse obviously, but I don't want to have to bring a second car (6 hour drive) or rent one and then have to deal with pickup/dropoff then still having to manually backtrack to shuttle. Is there anybody...

    MacNaughton Mountain Adirondacks*** ELEVATION CALCULATION...

    :confused::D ;) Results of the "ALL CAPS" at the end. Having completed all 46 and knowing the story behind the "fallen four" and the mystery surrounding MacNaughton mountain and the lack of a clear and modern method, to my knowledge, of a measure of it's true elevation, on May 29th 2016 I...

    MacNaughton/McNaugton Official/Unoffical ELEV Observations

    Hi all. ;) My question is simple, but two-fold: What is the currently accepted official elevation of the peak and what is the best method by which anyone knows of an unofficial elevation calculation? Unofficial would be methods by which elevation was calculated by GPS, for example, and the...

    TR Mountain. Adirondacks. July 6th 2015.

    Everyone seems to walk on by or not even know of this named summit near Indian Falls. I am sure plenty of folks on here have do it, but I wanted to update the conditions to the peak with a recent account. I wanted to do it just to experience something a little less traveled. I did this with my...

    Is there a quailty map of the Maine 4k mountain area around Flagstaff Lake avaialble?

    I have completed all of the 115 outside of Maine excluding Katahdin which has been completed twice. I have remained intentionally ignorant of this area to leave some fun for the end with a sense of adventure as to know little of what to expect. I am beginning to plan for the peaks I have left...

    Lost camera with photos on Nippletop Slide - ADKs

    Yes, it is from two years ago. I found it but lost it myself until I moved. It appears to be a couple of shots from the Nippletop slide before the point-and-shoot Canon camera was dropped into a shattering tumble. The camera was destroyed by the fall. I found this in late September of...

    ADK 46 Complete!

    Hi everyone, I am excited to have pulled off a much tougher finish than my recent NH 48 over Memorial Day. The ADK ending was much more of a tall order. I stood at 37/46, but intended to do 3 additional peaks again to help my friend rack his numbers to the low 40's. The peaks needed were...

    I finished the 48 in New Hampshire! 12 Years of adventure. 5-25-2014

    The feeling was incredible. With roots traced to family vacations in my childhood during the mid 1990's I developed a fascination with the mountains of upstate NY and New England. It was on a early July day in 2002 that I summited Mt. Liberty on a hap-hazard college roadtrip with three...

    Camera Found on Nippletop Slide - Adirondacks

    PM me if anyone can claim a Canon point and shoot camera I found on the Nippletop Slide this past weekend. The camera is destroyed from a long and tumbling fall but the memory card works. There are several pictures of the hike in what appears to be somewhere in the timeframe of late June to...

    Anyone loose a NH 48 EMS nalgene bottle on Breathed Mountain, WV?

    I know it's just a water bottle, but it may hold sentimental value to someone. It has seen it's share of use. PM me if it is yours or you know whom it belongs to. Being that it lists all NH 4k mountains I am thinking it was probably owned by someone with interest in those mountains coupled...

    Rainy Day South Carter, Height, and Carter Dome.

    8-7-2011 All year I have had luck all over the country with good weather, if not supurb, for hiking. Luck runs out. This was a viewless, foggy time. Of the eight remaining of the 48 for me (S. Carter, Carter Dome, Whiteface, Passaconaway, Cabot, Owls Head, S. Kinsman, and Isolation)...

    Table Top Mountain #2?

    To the NE of the main and highest summit of Table Top there appears to be another summit which on the topo map is in the 280' range for prominence? I wonder how close this actually is to 300' and if it has a herd path? This has intrigued me for a while. Anybody have any info/been there...
