    What Do You Want From Your Gear?

    it needs to work, be comfortable and be durable/last. I don't usually care about color/appearance and primarily shop off of the clearance rack.

    Trip to the Whites- 9/11 - 9/17

    I just spent the past week up in the Whites for the AMC Connecticut Chapter’s Fall Hiking Week. This year we were based out of Woodward’s in Lincoln. My fiancée and I got up in time for dinner on Friday night and met up with friends from the Hudson Valley area, Connecticut and made new friends...

    Adams and Flags on the 48

    Great Job! It was nice to see Laurie and Tom up there. That was my first Flags event and it was a great experience. I only stayed up there for a few minutes to visit and eat a sandwich before heading down and over to Madison, getting there just before 2 to see the Flag there. Thanks to that...

    Moderate Hikes in Portland, OR Area

    If you have not been already, take the drive up to Mt. St. Helens. I only had time for a quick walk around the visitors center when I was there last year but there are a bunch of hiking trails there.

    summit of Plateau?

    can anyone confirm where the summit of Plateau is? I went out and back yesterday from Mink Hollow before heading over Sugarloaf. The signs at the various trail junctions gave differing distances to the summit. I hiked as far as the new trail junction for the Long Path before turning around and...

    Hudson Valley Beer Night!

    I just penciled it in on my calendar. We've got to take advantage of the free parking while it lasts. I saw an article in the Poughkeepsie Journal today saying that there will be a $5 parking fee by the end of the summer.

    I work at Central Hudson- right up the road from you. I'm out of town at a conference and am flying in on Sunday. Maybe I can get up there another weekend. I'm on both Adk forums and have found them both to be a great resource. Still working towards my 46 up there as well as the Cats...

    week in the Whites 9/19-25

    Tom, I didn't see any snow or ice but some people who were on Madison on the 19th saw rime ice up there. I do work right in Poughkeepsie and try to get out on the local trails as much as possible. Where do you work? I know from your trip reports that you're out on the trail often as well...

    Moriah and Carters 9/21

    The trail conditions were great- very little mud. There were some rocky sections but they were easy to get up and over. The 19 Mile Brook Trail is very easy and a nice way to end the day.

    Moriah and Carters 9/21

    Started in Gorham up the Moriah Carter Trail which we followed over Moriah to Middle and South Carter to Zeta Pass, then out 19 Mile Brook trail. The weather was perfect and there were great views the whole way. We saw both north bound and south bound thru hikers- good luck to those headed...

    Lower Hudson paddling - dredging

    from what I understand of the dredging project, they are monitoring for PCBs at or below drinking water standards. I'd be more concerned with coliforms and bacteria from sewage treatment plants that discharge into the river, particularly with all of the rain we've had. A lot of the plants have...

    Table Mountain > Cornell Mountain Bushwhack (Catskills)

    yeah, I did do a bit of straying off the original bearing and also once I was confident I was across the cols, I would just head upslope and around obstacles to the summits but probably would have wandered more if I had a GPS to point me in the right direction. I guess everyone's comfort zone...

    Table Mountain > Cornell Mountain Bushwhack (Catskills)

    I just did the Friday to Peekamoose traverse on Saturday and only found faint evidence of herd paths along the way. I went old school with the map and compass so I was following a bearing and didn't have a choice to take a path of least resistance. There were some pretty tough sections to push...

    Your boats?

    I have a Perception Carolina 14.5 that I love. Got it used from a friend. I mostly paddle lakes and slow moving rivers but I have taken it down the Farmington, (CT) and through Satan's Kingdom and had no problems at all. Great boat!

    Arizona hiking

    thanks to all for the suggestions. Lots of time to think about our options but it seems like they'll primarily be driven by the weather/heat conditions when we're out there.

    Arizona hiking

    Does anyone have suggestions for hiking/other activites in the Flagstaff area or Phoenix? I'm going on a rafting trip in the Lower Canyon in July and will have a couple of days free after the trip before we fly home. Thanks!
