I may go for the Presidential Range traverse this summer ” Give me a shout out if you do. They're more or less my back yard... what got me into the whole AT thing, eventually. Prezzi traverse is hard to do without at least one night in a hut, or being killer fast and light between Mizpah and Madison. I…

I took a vid of it just for the audio! ” I have a video of those same peepers from this past April!! ” I want to see it. Do you have a YouTube acct? ” Of course after posting this I went looking for it...and I can't find it! I think it may have been on my old phone!:( I'll keep looking !! They were soo loud!

Took another walk today....This time a short local one along the AT from 17A to the Wildcat Shelter. This hike has become my "go to hike" when I just want to get out there. Its fairly flat with 2 scrambles over some rocky whale backs and the Cat Rocks. Not a person on the trail. 5 miles out and back in 2 hours.

Being it was a beautiful day today and in the 60's here in NY, I took full advantage of it and headed up to the Catskills to tackle Peekamoose and Table Mtns. Peekamoose and Table are both Catskill Mountains over 3500 that are required you climb to become a member of the Catskill 3500 club. Peekamoose has an elevation of 3843' and Table is 3847. This was and out and back hike with a total mileage of 9.1 miles. Surprisingly there weren't many people on the trail today.

This is a very very late trip report for my last hike in the Adirondacks. The Friday after Thanksgiving 11/27 I drove up very early and climbed Big Slide. Big Slide is ranked #27 with an elevation of 4240'. I parked at the Garden Lot in Keene Valley and hiked up and over "The Brothers". The Brothers is one long ridge line, comprised of 3 “peaks”. It was cold, around 35-40 degrees and brought micro spikes. It wasn't icy at all, although there were sections of the trail that had ice on it, but not…

It's 42 degrees and going to be in the 60's. On my way to the Catskills

Both of those above sound great... a loop I think would most ideal, but not mandatory

I've been there before. Always on a weekend and it's always been very very busy!

106 off route 17 is closed already. Passed that was yesterday and barricade was up FYI

Quote from hikerboy: “Quote from CoachLou: “Quote from hikerboy: “Quote from Rasty: “The Arden station has been closed for some time now. Harriman is probably the closest to Elk Pen ” ” ” ” Count me in. I'll know for sure whether it's going to be the entire weekend or just a piece of the weekend

Quote from CoachLou: “Quote from LIhikers: “OK, I have a selfish request for MLK IV. If this shindig starts on a Friday I request that Friday night's camp site is someplace easy to walk into in the dark'. Chances are that we'll be walking in during the middle of the night. ” I've been studing the maps, you have a mile or a nasty climb to any shelter in the park. I'm looking at the Long Path, thru Harriman, loops and bail out parking lots. ” Fingerboard from Lake Tiorati is close Could be a good …

Quote from CoachLou: “Now look what you have done, Paul!!!!!!!!! I have maps of the Hudson Highlands strewn about my desk I have leaves to rake today!!!!! ” So do I!

Quote from CoachLou: “If I zipped it up, I would have to do that. I got mine in Feburary. I cowboyed on our deck, I was in lgs , I had it zipped up, I unzipped the bottom zipper, and sweat all night. I have never zipped it past my waist since.... Ever. I mostly use it as a blanket.......... But I am extremely hot blooded to start with. With that said, who is up for MLK IV? ” Count me in for MLK... I was unable to attend the past 2 years, but this year Im making sure I make it!

Awesome! Seems like so long ago you were in NY!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Hope everyone has a great day and an even better weekend!

Who has any hiking plans this weekend? I will be heading up to the Adirondacks early Friday morning and staying at the Adirondack Loj for 2 nights. Intention is bag 3 peaks, but if I only do 1 I'll be happy!
