Thursday (6/9) between Garfield and the Skoomkumchuk Tr. jct I met a young woman looking for her dog. It had wandered away the previous day. They're not sure in what direction it took off. Description: Zoe is a female Siberian Husky, 1 1/2 years old, one brown eye, one blue, wearing a...

Corrected correction I just rec'd the 46ers Spring Newsletter. I contacted a trailmaster about a discrepancy in the trail maintenance schedule. It pertains to the last day of trail work on the schedule. Here is the correct info: The trailwork will be on Saturday, the same day as the fall...

Saturday, March 26, 2011 ... It's at the Crowne Plaza in Lake Placid. There's a social hour from 5-6PM with a cash bar, followed by the excellent buffet from 6-9PM. The buffet offerings will be the same as last year: Beef, chicken, vegetarian pasta, fish, salad, rolls, vegetable, potatoes...

Very thin snow at bottom of Toll Road, but it was packed and skiable. Snow depth gradually increased on the way up. About an inch of powder at the bottom, increasing to 3", maybe more higher up. Very little bare pavement. On the inside of the Lake Placid Turn there was an inch or less of...

If you're getting tired of seeing too many grunting middle aged climbers in the High Peaks, and wondering if any future generation will care to protect them, you might enjoy hiking on Saturday. The St. Lawrence University Outing Club is leading their annual Peak Weekend. They'll be trying to...

I started out with new trail runners, adequate hydration, and an ice ax (for the photo op at the summit). This would be the hardest 5' vertical in my hiking career. However, the sign at the trailhead said it was open to the public only until 4PM and it was going on 7PM. I couldn't believe...

Does anybody know which AMC patches are for any-season and which are for winter? Does anybody know how they came to be designed as they are? The AMC regular and winter patches for the Whites(rectangle) and the NE67(circle) are the same except for colors, and a slight size difference between...

In early September I may be leading up to 12 people on a hike in the Mt. Tremblant region, or within a 1.5 hour drive of Huberdeau, Quebec. Can anyone recommend some possible hikes, long or short? One idea I had was to climb Mt. Tremblant from a wild side, meaning NOT going up ski slopes...

Sorry this report is late due to limited computer access and much rushing around. Wolfgang already reported more recently on the Garf. Tr., so I'll just add this: The Garfield Ridge Trail showed no sign of prints or a furrow when I got to it just .2 mi before Garfield's summit. The first...

I've deleted my previous partner search posts. They're history. It's come down to this. My last week. The Crunch. The End Game. I join you or you join me. I'm looking at Sunday through Thursday, March 7-11. I need: Washington and Monroe Garfield and Galehead N & S Kinsmans Mt. Moriah I'm...

Part 1 of 2 President’s Weekend looked like the best chance for summiting North Brother. I’d have a better chance of finding partners to hike with. Also, I saw from Baxter State Park’s campsite availability page that a group was already planning to be there. Arm, Mtnpa, and Frodo had...

--Williams Pond Rd. well packed by snowmobiles for first 2.6 miles. After that, packed by group of 7, then me, skiing with sleds. Not packed well enough for barebooting. --Ditto the 1/2 mile ski trail through woods to Nesowadnehunk Field Campground. --Park perimeter road well packed by...

Late start: 12:10PM! Trail to Height of Land well packed. Also well packed beyond HoL, but after a while, it turned right to head directly for a crossing point of Rocky Branch. The most recent, and only visible tracks turned right rather than following the trail down to the flowing body of...

Summary: Snowshoes required. No other traction needed. The one major stream crossing had a sturdy ice bridge. Don't follow most recent tracks (mine) much above the crossing if you think you know a better way!:eek: See full trip report in TR section.

It was Stag Day at Owls Head. There were 5 separate parties consisting of one guy each. Lincoln Woods Trail was in good shape. Well packed and quite skiable. Barebootable too. This was only my 3rd time on skis this winter, and despite it being an upgrade on the way in, and me carrying...

North Brother Feb. 14-15 (Sunday and Monday) I need company for North Brother in Baxter State Park, Maine. That's a long haul, especially from northern NY State. I'm thinking of Presidents Weekend (Feb. 13-15) because it's more likely that others will have the time. Currently, my idea is to...

Got a 9:00AM start, the earliest so far this winter! Blue skys, but M's summit still in clouds. That'll clear up by the time I get there! Ravine Rd. is plowed uphill for about 100 yards, to gate. Parked by 118. --All foot bridges intact. -Lots of recent wind debris: twigs, sprigs, and...

I hit a new low in inability to get a timely start. Left car at 12:46PM! --No water crossings on this hike, IIRC --Took Avalon and A-Z to Willey Ridge Trail Jct. This was pretty solidly tracked. Mt. Tom Spur was well tracked but blown over near the summit. At a level, summity clearing...

Sawyer River Road well packed by snowmobiles. Barebooted it. --Put on snowshoes at start of SigRT. There were fairly recent tracks, but there weren't enough previous people to make a completely uniformly stomped out track. I tried to step on what they'd missed. --First stream crossing, the...
