Patrick, I'm sorry I didn't have time for the graffiti, but I like the idea. I made three feeders, the picture shows the last one. The bear made short work of the other two.

Great idea Patrick, Bird boxes are a great way to use up old cut offs. I haven't tried an owl box yet but here is a version of an Adirondack lean-to bird feeder I made several years ago. The birds seem to really like it, and I enjoy watching them use it.

Where are you talking about? Is this a established camp site or in a park in general?

Well done. Very nice pics and report. Thanks for sharing. Shows there are some really nice places here in Pa.

Beautiful country, looks like a perfect place to heal.

Boreas Pond has been on my list for several years. I haven't made it yet. but this fall I plan on making the trip. The walk in has always been a draw back. A year ago I made the trip back into Henderson Lake. The walk was plenty hard but I rested along the way and finally made. I'm sure I...

Back in Boy Scouts I knew a few words. But now, all I can do is bang out SOS. In a pinch, I guess that's enough. (I hope)

I don't know anything obsolete about the old camp gear. Our power was out twice this past week. Pulled out the Coleman stove and lantern, made coffee, sat down in my chair enjoying the quiet, all without missing a beat.

This is very interesting. Thanks for posting.

On tonight's weather, they had photos of mountain of ice almost 20 feet high blown up on shore on the East shore of Lake Erie.

I can remember one winter, I was pushing a surveying crew for a pipeline threw the mountains in snow up to your knees, Staying warm and dry was a problem. After trying different clothes, I started using wool pants. Even though the pants were covered in snow, I stayed warm and dry. From then...

I had a Gortex coat that I used for years. Recently, before a trip, I knew the coat was old, so I sprayed it with the recommended product and I thought it was waterproof again. I wore it this Fall in rain and I got soaked to the bone. So there I was miles away from the car, soaking wet with...

Very interesting. I wonder how the ice coverage will affect the Spring thaw.

Hi Tom, I'm located just up the road from you in Liberty. Glad to have you.

Well, six more weeks of Winter. I wonder what Groundhog tastes like?

As a young family, We did a lot of camping in are old canvas tent. My son was very young at the time and the wife needed light so we used the Coleman gas lantern. To my surprise it gave off enough heat to keep the tent comfortable. From that time on I used the lantern to help heat the tent.

I have to agree with Boatman53, too many people, too much privilege, attitude and money to get want they want.

I believe the games has grown a lot since 1980. Just think of the housing needed for all the athletes, support staff, TV crews and other people. I believe accommodation would extend from Plattsburg to Inlet and beyond. I think Lake Placid would lose the small town atmosphere it enjoyed after...

This may be a little off topic of tripping, but then again it does involve the Adirondacks, which in a way involves us. There is talk in upstate NY about the possibility of a third Olympics in Lake Placid. I've been thinking about this and I guess right now I have mixed feelings . On one...

I measured 16" of snow at my house. I spent all day plowing, I'm running out of space to push it. Durning a break to get warm I checked the weather forecast, it stays cold at least till the end of the month. I should be accustom to this. Cold winter weather is no stranger to northern Penna. I...
