Nope, I have not done a thing. I am guessing Facebook has somehow slowly crept into your personal sphere of dominion.

I spent five days in the William C. Whitney Wilderness working on some personal goals while having opportunity to acquaint with some new folks. I came away with 3 new ponds and 10 new friends. Once again, I was amazed at how comfortable it is to meet new people around a campfire. Young and old...

It is my plan to be in the Adirondacks this week. I'll try to wander through Little Tupper at some point, not sure, how my itinerary will unfold. Because Chuck is involved in this event, I'll likely have a bigger boat, sail rig and lots of foul weather equipment. I plan to leave Wednesday...

Glenn, Sorry you cannot access my album, you're missing some good stuff. I've made all my adventure albums public on Face Book but apparently, FB needs to know who you are to be truly public. I would like to have a hosting site like I've had in the past. Two of them have come and gone...

With a favorable weather forecast predicted to last the whole week, an Adirondack trip plan was thrown together at the last minute. I would spend four days on the border between the Five Ponds and Pepperbox Wilderness...

Earlier this year I had a shelter blunder, I did not forget to pack the tent but brought the wrong one. Mrs. Conk was participating on a weekend event and I had forgotten to switch to a two-person tent in place of my normal solo. It was not a big problem as I was able to do a little swapping...

Let's not confuse our SUNY O's. Snapper is a Red Dragon from Oneonta, coldfeet spent time in Brockport as a Golden Eagle. He remembers attending a Dead concert at an "O" school, which very likely could have been Oswego. It would explain his moniker "coldfeet". I'm not sure if the Oswego...

I am late with this because of computer difficulties but things are now running smoothly and I wanted to share a report of an Adirondack adventure into the Pepperbox Wilderness from early this month. I overslept on the day of departure. This delay had the fortunate consequence of placing me...

Yes, he does. The hole spacing on one of my seats is 8.5 inches measured from the center of each rail (my nomenclature for seats defines the two long pieces as rails and the two short bits as struts). A standard Conk has rail stock that is 1.5 inches wide and struts 7 inches long. An 8 inch...

Steve Tolle and I will be representing Hemlock Canoe at the event this year as Dave and Carol Curtis will be involved with another engagement. We will be there early Friday with the full fleet of Hemlock demo canoes. We have learned that David Yost plans to attend with a trailer of boats from...

My favorite time for an Adirondack adventure is as soon after ice-out as possible. It is likely that I'm antsy after a long winter, but in early spring, before the buds unfurl, the lay of the land is visible, there are things to be seen that in any other season could be missed. On page 369 of...

I cannot help you with the question of ownership on the Vagabond design, but did you notice the two very nice examples on the used and demo page? A very good price IMO. http://www.hemlockcanoe.com/used--demo-canoes.html

I have to say ditto to many of the items already covered. I love my 10 X 12 kelly green sil-nylon Tundra Tarp but wish it had been available in a more surreptitious color. I prefer stealth over drawing attention to my location, finding my way back to camp has never been a problem. I left the...

No tax, no shipping and 20% off what are already reasonable prices. I just stocked up on Whoopie Line and Ironwire, love my Dyneema. Going to give the Spectra Pull Cord a go, as I need a new ridgeline. Thanks for posting that.

A lot of beer and a jar of Jim... I think you have the essentials covered. You might maximize storage space by inserting a can of Lord Chesterfield into each of the cozies. There will be a simultaneous sunset/moonrise on Saturday night. I will be with you in spirit from a lake far away.

That sounds like it might be fun. If my shop projects ever begin to wane, I've thought of starting a Spork business, filing grooves in the ends of spoons.

Joel and I are FB buddies and he has made a comment on the Alder Creek album so I'm guessing that might have something to do with your ability to access them.

??? Other non-Facebook subscribers have been able to open the album ??? I'll offer a second link on the chance something is different. If not I'll have a talk with Mark and Priscilla and have them fix it...

Dave, The Facebook album is public and should be open to viewing to anyone on or off Facebook.
