I wondered when I watched the video... we have marinated venison to put on the BBQ coming with one of the group. Good game jerky is hard to beat. We are leaving now a day late because of the uncertainty of the track of the hurricane up the coast to NE.

good viewing at lunchtime, thanks for sharing. I'll be leaving tonight for a group outing up in the park, hoping the bad weather (Hurricane Mathew)coming up the coast this week from the Carolinas and Bahamas doesn't force the coastal members among us to have to cut our outing short to go back...

That trip looks like a good deal for both of you...nice! If I might relate my own, 'mom in a boat, story? About 15 years back, took mom out to lunch at a lakeside restaurant, Bass Lake CA, w stunning views of the high Sierra outside of nearby Yosemite NP. So 'we decided' after lunch to rent a...

If you have been on the old Johnson trail outside Rainbow, McHugh Creek, Indian, 1/2 way to Girdwood...there is a spur that runs off the Crow Creek Pass trail, goes up high along the numerous and sharp edged ridgelines, gets above tree line pretty fast...stunning views of Turnagain Arm, the...

And I was trying to control myself from being the wise guy on that comment, was thinking of Conk and his medical bottle...!

Was born into a family that journeyed into the Sierra Nevada's (Yosemite, Kings Canyon, John Muir wilderness, east side, Tahoe, etc) to frequently explore...would love to do it again on an easy basis (as opposed to my once a year family visits near Yosemite) w/o all the travel drama, costs...

To my shame you completed your journey and back home before I finished reading those 2 journals we discussed here... but looking forward to more pics, stories and your adventures...lunchtime will be more interesting while reading your reports.

By the end of summer, I will have collected a nice shelf of gatorade bottles and Lori's ice tea bottles, both of which fit my cooler/soft side just right and unlike Conk's (hilarious, I had to reread it just to make sure I had the details down pat...) repurposing, I can safely consume the...

Coincidentally for a k...k camp trip this fall that we were planning where because of space limitations we felt each could bring either an insulated mug or an insulated vacuum bottle: I tested the Ozark Trails 20 oz and the Arctic 20 oz stainless double wall tumbler mugs (purchased for under...

Thank you for that information...we have tended to stick with the ADKs because two of the group come from the Finger Lakes area and we just plain know the ADKs a lot better, but I sure would be willing to keep my mind open to other areas. And we'd been into Dolly Copp a few times so are...

You are right of course, even in season in a good rain, most of the drive-in sites can be miserable boggy places. (Robin) I hadn't though of the Ranger recommending that open turn around area, sometimes the snow berms take a while to melt away, leaving that whole area pretty wet too. The...

I certainly didn't mind checking out this thread again for any new posts, etc. Looking at the pics this morning while enjoying my morning tea - fantastic, never get tired of those sort of views! Outstanding.

All he had to do, was leave something hanging in a tree, sleeping bag drying over a branch, etc to let others know that the site was occupied... I've set up my camp at the very edge of a site to get away from sun or wind exposure and the one time found folks eating lunch at my fire pit...I was...

This would be an excellent opportunity for the gathering throng to put eyes on the camping sites on Horsehoe Lake that would be open (before they open the gate to the dam and the road down to the old station and train tracks) with a thought towards next spring and an early ice out gathering...

Over the last two years our party has talked w both of the 'newer' rangers who serve out of Tupper Lake and Lake Durant camp areas about just this problem and between their priorities, old habits, inertia, no will power or no time to check, no interest...we haven't seen that unfortunate habit...

That vivid sunset is a stunner, s/b a 'photo of the day' ... (and a winner at that!) I hear you on the missing companions. Think that all of us are getting down that particular rocky road at a faster and faster speed...it never slows down and despite regrets, there is no turning back. (our...

I like this little system for quick set up & utility - proven off grid, long term and nighttime set up (when car camping). 25' extension cord w battery clips and cigarette lighter style power receptacle. 10' coiled extension cord. Doubler adaptor. (all fused). 12v or USB LED lights...

My thoughts only, from the KISS POV... 12v fan from marine or RV supply. 12V lawn tractor battery, 12v solar panel to top off battery with, female cigarette power end cord w alligator clips and fuse to hook to 12 battery. Plenty of left over juice to run a 12v LED light for area or...

When Radio Shack could be accessed by many with a 5 minute drive to the store...experiment away! Shame about that, but so much of those needed odds and ends are readily available, as noted on ebay or amazon, but patience and planning is called for. I run/ran several small AGMs with a simple...
