with all the snow plowed onto the shoulder of roads, it seems like I won't be riding anytime soon.

for those of you shoveling snow, be careful, don't become a statistic.

Quote from jimmyjam: “. I guess I'll need to measure three times and cut once from now on. ” It seems the older we get the more prone to mistakes we can be. At work I always have someone look over my work if it's something critical.

It's winter. We haven't had a good one in a number of years.

That sheds a new light on the subject. Thanks for posting that hikerboy.

Nature can be gruesome, everybody's got to eat.

Kathy and I just got home from a 3 day, 2 night, backpacking trip. I'll do a full report within a few days but the bare statistics are temps between high teens and low 30s, snow averaged 16 to 18 inches deep, some more and some less, and most of the trails we were on were already broken and packed down. And maybe the best of it all was the hot shower when we got home.

A little more snow due tomorrow night while we're out for a 2 night overnighter

Interesting. No place in that article does it say that money actually changed hands.

I'm looking forward to hear what they have to say.

Quote from IMScotty: “Hope you stay on as a boundary monitor LIHikers. ” We will because if we quit it would be more of a problem for the NY/NJ Trail Conference than ATC.

I'd be happy to see more of the usual wildlife. So far I've only seen 1 bear, 2 moose, a zillion deer, some snakes........

More snow in the forecast for Thursday and Friday. Kathy and I hope to get out for a 2 nighter someplace, Sat., Sun, Mon. Hoping to need my snow shoes

Quote from rhjanes: “My buddy and I went out to our part of LBJ National Grasslands. He'd reported an issue with a stream that USED to be very cross-able. It is anything but! Lots of debris floated down it and blocked it in at least three places. Making a 3 inch deep stream, 3 feet deep. We worked south to see if there was anyplace reasonably cross-able.....not really, at least not on any orienteering courses we would think people would chose for a route. SO, had to scratch one back country cont…

Thanks everybody.! Now I just have to decide what color to get my new pack. Right now I'm leaning toward orange.

I saw that article a few days ago and don't know what to do about it. If it weren't for the fact that we're life members of ATC, I probably wouldn't renew membership. I've also considered quitting as a boundary monitor. We'll see.

Quote from IMScotty: “nice Story LIHikers, Always handy to have a change of clothes in the car. ” We almost always do.

Today's snow fall turned out to be around 10 inches of light weight, dry, fluffy snow.

I e-mailed ULA and the reply I got says that our tent should fit in the outside, side pocket carried vertically. I too use a pack liner so I guess the idea of my tent getting things wet isn't really a concern.

Up until now I've always had packs that had straps across the bottom and I'd carry my tent there. Now I'm considering a pack, ULA Catalyst, which doesn't have that feature. I like having the tent outside the pack so in the rain I can get it set up before opening my pack. The only other option I can think of is to put the tent in the pack, but I'm not crazy about that idea as a wet tent could get other things wet. I'm wondering how you folks carry your shelter and what the pros and cons of the di…
