I'm heading out to the Adirondacks for the first time mid August. Most of the hiking I've done in the past has been in ME/NH/VT and I'd like to see something new. I plan on going for about 4 days with a 3 day/2 night trip and maybe a shorter dayhike to start or end the trip. I'm looking for...

Which bump is the actual north isolation peak? I can't seem to point it out exactly on the map. I hear it is not far off the trail. Is there a canister there too?

I have next week off and want to get in some decent trips to the Whites or western Maine mtns. If anyone is looking for company I'm open to suggestions whether it's a bushwack, wants to spot cars, whatever..let me know. Chester will be coming along depending on the trip and the weather. Jeff

This has probably been answered a lot of times before but I can't seem to find the info by searching. I've always hiked in heavyweight, leather boots using the same boots for all 4 seasons. They seem to be too much for long distance dayhikes during the summer. Even though they are well...

I've had good success buying and selling gear on Ebay and I am wondering if there are any other good auction sites for hiking/camping gear.
