    Shin Murnane passed away on the trail

    This hurts! Shin and I spent a lot of time together on and off the trails. Our journeys to Nicola's and the LPPB are legendary. I really don't know what to say, but I lost a great friend and I am so sorry for Carol, Mark and the rest of the family. I wish I could be there, but I am in England...

    REI dividends should be arriving..

    This thread sure has long survival. It is that time of year again, today I learned my rebate will be $363.97. That part is cool, but tomorrow (2/28/09) I leave for a new permanent job in the UK and there are no REI stores in the UK! Bummer! Also, there are no ADKs. Real bummer!!!!! But the...

    Allen 10/11/08

    1ADAM12: I slide several times, but I failed to fall even once - just lucky I guess. As for the weather - it was outstanding, no snow, or even the hint of snow. There was lots of mud and with the thick leaf coverage I more than once did the boot sucking step. Viewseeker: Yes I you would have...

    Allen 10/11/08

    Allen was not high on my list and I just do not make an effort to go and visit it. However this trip was needed to clean-up loose ends and finish another 46 round. Leaving the trailhead at 6:30, I arrived at the Opalescent River temporary crossing about 1.5 hours later. I brought gaiters to help...

    Lean-to Suggestion

    So many choices. You may want to consider parking at the terminus of the Northville-Lake Placid Trail (off Avery Road) and hike down the N-LP trail. About 6+ miles in you come upon Wanika Falls. This is a great place to visit. The falls drops over a series of rock outcroppings hunders of feet...

    Blue Paint / Damaged Trees

    I do not know if the trail passes through their private land or just borders it as all of the "Post Private Property" signs are left of the trail while heading in, but some of the slashing and paint can be found on the right side of the trail and beyond the "Entering Wilderness" signs that have...

    Blue Paint / Damaged Trees

    This may be a revisit to a previous topic, but I have not been able to find it. It looks like the Ampersand Club, in their infinite wisdom, hacked the hell out of trees coming out of their club property and following trail #129 for a couple of miles then painting the trees in spray paint blue...

    Seymour Mountain 9/27/2009

    Seymour Mountain 9/27/2008 While the weatherman predicted a rainy day for both Friday and Saturday, I did not let this stop me for a visit to this challenging hike. Seymour can be a wet and slippery hike especially on the slides. The trip started with a Friday off from work. I drove in from...

    "unmaintained" trails vs "maintained" trails

    I also just did Cliff and the herd-path is well defined, just missing the disks on the trees. I understand why they are providing minimal maintenance on these trails. If the routes were left to the hiker, they will always take the path of least resistance resulting in flagging, cutting markers...

    Cliff, excellent conditions

    Hi 1ADAM12, I have multiple Vasque Sundowner Summit GTX boots, one pair sized for winter and one pair sized for summer. I grabbed my winter boots which are 1 size larger to accommodate the expedition grade SmartWools. This trip I used light SmartWool hikers in my winter boots and I was...

    Cliff, excellent conditions

    Friday, August 29 was a great day to hike a great trail up Cliff. The conditions were excellent. The trail crew (Christine, Gary and others) have made this herd path so well defined and easy to follow the only thing missing was disks on the trees. I must give that trail crew all high-fives. I...

    My winter finale = Priceless

    It was a great time. Spending a couple of nights in the backcountry with milder temps is a wonderful experience and a needed break from day hikes. Walking past the Uphill Lean-to always brings about the question "why don't we stop?" but Feldspar is less visited and more secluded. After you...

    Winter 2008 Recap, and a hike up Dix & Iroquois Peaks

    Bob, Always a pleasure reading your TRs. Although we got only one hike in this year, it was a good one - albeit a little wet. Next winter I am sure we can find some common summits to head for. If gas costs continue going up, sharing the ride really helps out. For you it is probably off to do...
