    Genetic basis for peakbagging patches.

    You know, I remember reading this thread the other day and thinking "Pleeeeh, another one of Neil's useless and dumb threads". Boys will be boys. Who really puts much stock in the number (or size) of patches one has dangling from their rucksack? Is that really the measure of a man? Is it not the...

    Swanson/Gene ADK222 & ADKp50 completed on Crane

    Ocoman, you have officially reached "legend status" in my eyes. Your reports are always a joy to read. I'd have to check my list that Lee Barry sent me (there are over 270 peaks on it), and I'd be surprised if most or all of those peaks are not on their list. If I ever find time I'll check. If...

    Adirondack Journey

    We had a thread on this about 2 months ago over on ADKHP. http://www.adkhighpeaks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8508 I had a flurry of e-mail with Joel's wife, Alice, around the time of that thread. I knew Joel, via email exchanges, from the time I was "doing my own" Adirondack Journey (and...

    Adirondack Hundred Highest

    Actually, back a few years ago, when I was climbing a few of these (and posting reports and talking about it a lot with a few others online), we actually found a few "birch bark" notes on the summit's left by people who knew we were hiking a given peak on a given day, and they left em for us. :D...

    WITH PIPE & BOOK is closing

    Bummer, I love that store. I picked up a couple of first print classic ADK books in there. I don't smoke pipes, but I love the smell in humidor. Reminded me of my long deceased un pépère (god rest his sole). All good things must pass.I wish the Turners well in retirement.

    Adkhighpeaks Foundation accepting requests for grants

    Hi All, I asked for and received permission from Darren to post this. It IS NOT a fundraising solicitation (the opposite actually). We (several of us) have created a 501c(3) non-profit Foundation that raises money and then distributes the money to specific unfunded projects within the NYS Forest...

    Does that mean we need to start learning Danish. Good thing I've been practicing. "Ville jer have lyst til gå i stykker hiking?"

    Winter VT4K's in a day (2-28-04)

    I wonder if the OP could duplicate this hike and time? I think it would be a great challenge, considering how much OLDER they are now. :eek: :D I smell challenge. p.s. Make sure to report the result back.

    documenting 46 high peaks

    I wrote my reports in the spiritual language that reflects my inner peace. 山の上で行ったり、酔ったの下に来た They never wrote me back ;) It would have been easier when I sent mine to type em up and e-mail them to my correspondent. He said "no, do it this way, that how we like them". I dusted off the ole'...
