Quote from twistwrist: “I love polls! ” That's what she said! I don't keep track of miles really. But I'm thinking just shy of 250 maybe. I'll try to get my ADD in check for 15 minutes and get a tally

So I took a walk today. Played hooky from work due to the sunny skies and beautiful weather. Went up to the Catskills and hiked Giant Ledge and Panther Mountain. Panther is one of the Catskill 3500's and one of the four you have to hike twice (once in regular season and once in winter) this brings my total of Catskills to 5/35

Quote from LIhikers: “Quote from socks: “Fox News just ran a story this morning about the "Thayer" hotel on the Hudson, and the West Point grads that became the management team that brought the defunct hotel back to life. The West Point public golf coarse was also profiled as the Thayer donated granite pictorial hole markers to the golf coarse that profile not only the hole but a paragraph or two on each US war, here or abroad, as a kinda mini history lesson...makes me wanna go play a round.

Besides MLK weekend in Harriman in a few weeks, I intend on a few weekend trips in the Adirondacks and possibly finishing off the 46 High Peaks. Im at 21 now. Throw in a few trips to the Catskills. I also have too many home/family/work responsibilities that really prevent me from taking a full week off to hike, but Im going to try my hardest to try an finagle an extra week this year and possibly hike the Northville-Placid Trail, the 100 Mile Wilderness or maybe the Presidential Traverse

Quote from Rasty: “Quote from A.T.Lt: “I watched the movie this weekend and have previously read the book. I enjoyed the book. It was a funny tale. Never started out reading the book as a "guide" or "how to" about hiking he AT and don't think that was ever Bryson's intention when writing the book. It was a funny story and the Appalachian trail was just a pice of the entire story. I watched the movie with the same expectations and knowing that it would not be the same as the book with segments of…

Quote from Blue Jay La Fey: “A thousand years ago I had an old (even then) VW Bug. Changed engines a few times with my Father laughing at me. He's gone and I'd give anything to hear that laugh again. He never found out that when the floor rusted out I built a frame and poured a concrete floor. It went much better in the snow. ” My first car was a 65 Mustang. Had a 289 in it. I immediately put headers and glass pack mufflers on it ... I beat the living hell out of that car!! As is typical of must…
