Wow, beautiful photos.

If you're camping out, or even if you're home and have to set the alarm, this will be worth seeing. The viewing conditions should be good. Half a degree of separation is really close. If conditions are excellent Mars (near the horizon) and Mercury should also be visible. Space Weather News...

I'm from Hudson, NY. If you had called this report "Clueless from Hudson," I would have been so mad at the ignorance of these two hikers I would have said, "Who are these idiots?" Not taken offense, at all. I am rather surprised at the reactions this trip report is receiving. Sounds like a...

Great Falls must be roaring. Thanks for psoting this.

Starting at 7:23 pm here in the mid-Hudson Valley. Rising in the WNW with an altitude of 33 degrees, will traverse to the S. This is rare, so hopefully conditions will be good. There will also be two flyovers tomorrow evening, the first at 6:14 pm.

Nice - what kind of ducks were those?

It's not a stove it's ART. Does it work?

Style points for including the pulk.

Is that stove made out of a cookie tin? Nice blaze, and I see you even put a rock under it to protect the shelter's sill.

I loved camping in Flamingo and doing day trips from there. There are overnight/camping options too. Flamingo was a lot less built-up than I'd expected, due to the devastating hurricanes five years ago. You drive 40 miles through Everglades NP and there you are, the road ends in Flamingo. The...

Last night was a bust for Geminids; it was snowing. Tonight looks better but holy cats it is windy and cold.

Yes, that's a huge bay in the area of the lighthouse and the Mills Mansion. I have been looking at the Hudson lately, still thinking about one more trip, but it has been very windy this past week.

Thank you for the reminder about the eclipse. Calendar marked.

Foggy today; can't see much. This would be good for checking out current conditions - choppy, smooth, etc. if you were planning to launch from there.

I subscribed using this same tanga.com offer last spring. Received my first issue in about four weeks. It is legit.

Viewing conditions have not been good the last two nights. Very overcast. Got up this morning at 3 to check for visibility and could only see three stars.

http://www.thedailymail.org/articles/2010/07/14/news/doc4c3d4a377bd2b038558675.txt This photo in the Daily Mail was much better than the ones I took. It was a dark morning. Woke up to rain on the tent and the chug-chug-chug of tug engines and knew the bridge was coming, since shipping traffic...

http://www.thedailymail.org/articles/2010/07/10/news/doc4c38079d7eb50819175404.txt This is going to be great. A new 350 foot bridge is going to be transported from Coeymans, just south of Albany, to NJ on Tuesday. They are using two barges and this thing is so big that it is going to restrict...

Nice report, Jay. I can see the river from my house...on Saturday it was gray and rough. When people ask me about paddling on the river, I often say that paddling against the tide isn't really that hard at all. It's the wind that makes things difficult.

Did trail maintenance Sunday, an Easter tradition. The trail is clear and dry, only the usual wet spots. The snow is gone. Met a section hiker from Virginia, an overnight backpacker and many day hikers. All reported conditions on the AT further down the Riga Plateau to be "excellent." FYI...
