humph..so I can't spell. The actions of those persons mentioned by the OP are totally unacceptable. I mentioned what I did just to bring up that over enforcement of some rules isn't always desireable. Edit: Over reacting on my part.

3 stand out: 1. Optimus Eagle 1000 Stove: Totally underpowerd, hard to light. Now sits in the closet. 2. Red Ledge raincoat. Started soaking though really fast after only about 2 months of medium use. 3. MSR Miniworks waterfilter. The first one's. Heavy, bulky, and slow as molasses. Iodine or...

I can admit that I've camped illegally once. Got caught out late and tired between the wolfjaws in the ADK's. Instead of trying to make it over and down to the wolfjaw leant-to, we decided to camp...right on the trail in the notch. (was already quite late) We were up and gone by 6 the next...

Here's mine: My first trip to the ADK High Peaks. Group of 8, 3 day trip. Planning to go up and over Algonquin with a siede trip to Wright. Group split into two parties of 4, a "slow" group, whcih wasn't going to do Wright, and a fast group. I was with the fast group. I ended up lagging 2-3...

8-9 day trip in the northeast eh? Why not do a chunk of the Fingerlakes Trail in New York, or the Long Path perhaps. Less bugs for sure, and depending on what section you pick, can still be quite remote. Just thinking out loud here......

I must be sick in the head or something..cause I've done Marcy with full pack....twice.... Not to mention Algonquin, Dial and the lower range...... Now only if I could spare the time for a trip like this....

One thing I've noticed about lots of these new shoes coming out is how loud they all are while walking. You seem to be able to hear people wearing them from miles away. Any one have any idea why this is? The shift to plastic decks intead of neoprene?

ok..so assuming I decided to go the diy route, where could I get a a real dec trail disk? It'd add some authenticity to it. Also, is there any official stencil font that gets used to make these things, or does whomever gets to make the sign de jour just wing it?

here's a picture of what I'm talking about..if anyone dosn't know: sign.jpg

THey do? aww heck..why havn't I ever noticed that before.... well...I'll just have to check that out next time I'm there. Thanks :)

Hello all, long time lurker, first time poster here. I've always had an attachment to the NY DEC trail signs used across the state. Short of making a real one *disappear*, which would be a stupid, dangerous, and illegal thing to do, does anyone know how to get a recreation of one of these...
