lake access rental units

I am looking to get about 11 12 guys together for a bachelor party. Nothing crazy we just want to fish. First plan was to hit some of our local waters in st regis canoe area in april as his wedding is in may. We have a chance of lakes being frozen still and some unseasoned guys who may not like the idea of camping with snow haha. So plan b is to find a cabin or property that can hold us all on a lake so we can ice fish from the property. Doesnt have to be anywhere in specific. we got guys coming from finger lakes and we are in the ADKS. Any info on rentals big enough would be much appreciated.

Suggestions for a quick snowshoe in the LP tomorrow

Tomorrow I'll be bringing and Adirondack rookie into the Lake Placid tomorrow to ski Whiteface this weekend. We're going to roll into town around 12 to 1 and going to go for a quick snowshoe.

Any suggestions? He's never hiked any adk mountains so if there was a really easy peak with good views that would be good. I say easy because I'm not so experienced on snowshoes so I don't want anything with too much scrambling. Maybe a hike in a valley trail in the high peaks would work too if the views were good. I haven't spent a lot of time in the high peaks so I'm not sure where to start.

Would Mt Jo be good? Marcy Dam?

I was also thinking Owen and Copperas pond outside the high peaks.


St. Regis 2 Nighter

After much consideration, along with substantial help from the members of this forum (shout out to DSettahr in particular), we settled on St. Regis Pond for our annual winter Dacks trip from 1.25 – 1.27. We were looking for a pretty lake to camp on with a mountain nearby to climb and St. Regis seemed to fit the bill perfectly.

Quick note on conditions: about 18” of snow had dropped the previous weekend, followed by a good bit of rain and temps up to the low 40s within 24 hrs of our arrival.

We arrived to the Station Road parking lot around 12:30pm on Friday, quickly suited up and headed west down the road that follows the railroad tracks. Initially we had planned on skiing in via Little Clear Pond, but I called the ranger a few days prior and she told us that the snow on the lakes was likely to be deep and crusty. We opted instead for the Fish Pond Truck Trail, using a spur path to connect to the Little Clear / St. Regis carry trail. Both of us were skiing with around 55-60 lbs on our backs. The snow was blowing in our faces and temps were around 18 degrees, but the wind wasn’t too harsh and the atmospherics just added to the sense of adventure. The trail was broken and skiing was easy.



The first part of the Fish Pond Truck Trail was broken as well, but only for the first quarter mile or so. Once we had to break trail, our progress slowed significantly. This continued through the spur trail and the carry trail. The snow was deep and our heavy packs meant we sank down much further than usual. Deadfall was not as much of an issue as we anticipated though, there were only a few times we had to get off trail to avoid an obstacle.

By the time we got to the lake, the snow had stopped. The crust and deep snow we were warned about were also nowhere to be found – I was hoping this might mean for easy travels. We soon encountered another problem entirely – under the first 6” or so of fresh snow was a good few inches of slush. This really slowed us down. We didn’t have far to go though, as we were aiming for the site on the peninsula across from the shelter (it was site 12 if IIRC).



We got to the site soon enough and got to work setting up. The location was quite exposed to the wind, but we figured it was a worthwhile trade off for the views it afforded.



We got set up quickly, as we were running a bit behind schedule. After eating dinner (some freeze dried backpacker meals) and melting some snow, we turned in for the night.

I was a bit worried about the temps for this trip, as I had never camped colder than 10 degrees and I only had a 15 degree bag. I figured I’d sleep with some layers on and I brought a 28 degree bag to use as an extra blanket in a pinch. It got down to 5 degrees that night (at least – that was the temp at 7am the next day) but I was perfectly cozy in the 15 – didn’t even unpack my 28.

Saturday we woke up to cloudy skies, temps around 7 and constant wind, but no falling snow. We had some debate that morning on how best to summit St. Regis Mountain. The original plan had been to bushwhack up to the top directly from the lake – but considering how deep the snow was, we knew that was completely impossible. Another idea was to ski out via the ponds and carry trails to St. Regis Lake, then head up the trail that starts at the bottom of Spectacle Ponds. But that was 4 miles just to the trail head, considering how bad the lake skiing was on the way in, we decided it was also impossible. In the end we opted to shoot for an outcrop at (44.3957, -74.3313) I had spotted on google maps while we were trip planning. We could see it clearly from our campsite and it look like it’d afford a good view. It would only be about 5 miles round trip. You can see it in the pic below, it's the large white rock on the left side.



We opted to snowshoe across the lake, as we figured that was probably more efficient than skiing through slush and meant we wouldn’t have to change footwear halfway through. We started out at 10:30 and headed for the Ocher Pond carry trail. Travel on the lake was easy – a lot of the slush had frozen up overnight, though it was still bad in places. The carry trail was unbroken (of course) and slow going. About half way down the carry trail we turned north and started our bushwhack. I guess I should mention here that a) I have never snowshoed before and, b) that means I have obviously never bushwhacked through 2-3’ of snow. I was not expecting this to be easy, but I had no idea of just how slow it would be. We were both wearing Lightning Ascents which don’t have much float and we were sinking pretty deep into the snow. It was brutal, but fun in its own way. As we worked our way up towards the outcrop we encountered all sorts of obstacles you can’t see on the topo – rock cliffs, giant boulders, and such. It was tricky, but also added to the fun as we had to think carefully about how we'd navigate around them. I'd experienced this bushwhacking before, but the depth of the snow meant that grades which would otherwise be an easy scramble were completely impossible. At this point we were averaging about 0.5 mph. After about ¾ of a mile of bushwhacking, we made it to the base of the hill, where things got steep for real. We pushed up, climbing about 150’ until we reached a bit of level ground. Here we took a pause to assess our situation. It was 1pm and we were still 0.2 mi and 350’ of climbing from the outcrop. It was tantalizingly close, but I knew that 350’ was too much. My buddy was completely gassed and I was pretty exhausted myself (both of us *may* have gotten a bit out of shape in the off season…) We decided to break there and enjoy the view, such as it was. The sun was out and the woods were quite gorgeous.



I really wish we had pushed on though. After getting back home, I checked the sats and realized there was a small bit of exposed rock just 0.1 mi and +150’ from where we stopped. I hadn’t marked it on my map because it was rather small - but it looks like it would have still offered a good view. You can see it here to the left of the big rock outcrop.



After a brief snack break and some phone calls (I was really surprised – but we both got signal for the entire trip, though mine was a bit weak at camp) we headed back downhill. The trek was a little easier this time, though I still managed to fall plenty.

We got back to camp a little after 3, leaving us plenty of time to get some good firewood. It was our last night so we wanted to do it up. A couple skied by our site and chatted for a minute - they were doing the Fish Pond Truck Trail / St. Regis / Little Clear Pond loop. They were the only people we saw over the entire trip. My buddy soon got the fire raging (a lot of work considering how wet the wood was with the recent rain) and I prepped out our dinner of New Mexican Style Pork Adovada, queso fresco, and instant rice.



Fortified with a warm dinner (and some hot cider with whiskey) we headed out onto the pond to do some long exposure photography. At this point it was down to -2, but it wasn’t windy and we were perfectly comfortable. The moon hadn’t risen yet and the sky was almost perfectly clear. It was a beautiful night.





We turned in shortly after that. It was a cold night. I didn’t step out of the tent to get a reading, but the closest weather stations showed a low of -9. At 5:30 I woke up cold, the thermometer in the tent showed 16 degrees. There was a fair amount condensation on my bag - our candle lantern wasn’t working right and neither of us were using vapor barrier liners. I pulled out my 28 degree bag to use as a blanket - that seemed to do the trick and I was soon back to sleep.

We woke up a little late, around 8am, to temps around 20 and a decent snow falling. We packed up quick and headed back the way we came in. The skiing was far better than it was on Friday - almost all the slush had frozen over. Plus, we had already broken trail. Thinking back, I wish we had taken Little Clear Pond back to the car, it was about the same distance and would have been nice change of scenery, and the path should have been broken by the couple that passed us the day before. Oh well. We got back to the car soon enough.



All in all, a great trip. It’s something of a bummer that we didn’t manage to get to a vista on St. Regis, but the bushwhack was lots of fun nonetheless. To be honest, I think I might prefer camping in the deep snow. It might be way harder to get around, but it feels a little bit more “magical” than when the snow is compacted and everything's easy.

Kaspersky Lab Wins 2018 CEIA Cybersecurity Category Award

After four months of rigorous appraisal and two rounds of competition, Kaspersky Lab won the Cybersecurity Category Award on Jan. 15 for its leading security solutions and technologies. The award was strictly selected by tens of thousands of readers and professional information supervisors, which reflect the fair recognition of Chinese political and business circles towards Kaspersky Lab.

“Kaspersky Lab, through its Kaspersky Adaptive Security Framework, has been providing holistic end-to-end solutions to beef up the defences of our users --- from threat hunting, to risk mitigation, continuous monitoring, up to incident management,” says Stephan Neumeier, Managing Director at Kaspersky Lab Asia Pacific. “We constantly strive to be one step ahead of cybercriminals to secure companies, governments, and the public.

Ziegler and Gardner Spencer Preserves

https://endlessmountains.wordpress.c...e-conservancy/

I recently hiked the trails at these two preserves, which adjoin Lackawanna State Park. Great hike with scenic forests, stone walls, streams, hemlock glens, ledges, meadows and views. The highlight was Tunnel Vision, where the trail goes through a grove of spruce trees, creating a tunnel. The trails are also open to mountain biking.

Stillwater Resorvoir Tips for Best Checkin Days & Times

Looking for some tips for best checkin days and times for Stillwater Resorvoir during the peak season of July - September to get a decent site. Anyone out there who might be a Stillwater regular over the years and willing to help me out? If you're the type that doesn't like to put out this kind of info or tips on public forums, but still willing to private message me, I would be very greatful! I've never been up there before but it looks like a really nice quiet place that caught my attention last year while up on seventh lake last year.

Typically we like to do 3 night stays either thur - sun or sat - tues. With this place first come first serve, I fear we get all the way up there (3hr drive) and not have a site available when we get there. Any help and tips are greatly appreciated.

Bonus - What is and isn't a "decent" site here???

Something in common: two notorious Russian speaking hacking groups found sharing infrastructure

Kaspersky Lab experts have identified an overlap in cyberattacks between two infamous threat actors, GreyEnergy – which is believed to be a successor of BlackEnergy – and the Sofacy cyberespionage group. Both actors used the same servers at the same time, with, however, a different purpose.

BlackEnergy and Sofacy hacking groups are considered to be two of the major actors in the modern cyberthreat landscape. In the past, their activities often led to devastating national level consequences. BlackEnergy inflicted one of the most notorious cyberattacks in history with their actions against Ukrainian energy facilities in 2015, which led to power outages. Meanwhile, Sofacy group caused havoc with multiple attacks against US and European governmental organisations, along with national security and intelligence agencies. It had previously been suspected that there was a connection between the two groups, but has not been proven until now, after GreyEnergy – BlackEnergy’s successor – was found to be using malware to attack industrial and critical infrastructure targets mainly in Ukraine, and demonstrated some strong architectural similarities with BlackEnergy.

Kaspersky Lab’s ICS CERT department, responsible for industrial systems threats research and elimination, found two servers hosted in Ukraine and Sweden, which were used by both threat actors at the same time in June 2018. GreyEnergy group used servers in their phishing campaign to store a malicious file. This file was downloaded by users as they opened a text document attached to a phishing e-mail. At the same time, Sofacy used the server as a command and control centre for their own malware. As both groups used the servers for a relatively short time, such a coincidence suggests a shared infrastructure. This was confirmed by the fact that both threat actors were observed to target one company a week after each other with spear phishing emails. What’s more, both groups used similar phishing documents under the guise of e-mails from the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

“The compromised infrastructure found to be shared by these two threat actors potentially points to the fact that the pair not only have the Russian language in common, but that they also cooperate with each other. It also provides an idea of their joint capabilities and creates better picture of their plausible goals and potential targets. These findings add another important piece into public knowledge about GreyEnergy and Sofacy. The more the industry knows about their tactics, techniques and procedures, the better security experts can do their job in protecting customers from sophisticated attacks,” said Maria Garnaeva, security researcher at Kaspersky Lab ICS CERT.

To protect businesses from attacks from such groups, Kaspersky Lab suggests customers to:

• Provide dedicated cybersecurity training for employees, educate them to always check the link address and the sender’s email before clicking anything.
• Introduce security awareness initiatives, including gamified training with skills assessments and reinforcement through the repetition of simulated phishing attacks.
• Automate operating systems, application software and security solutions updates on systems that are part of the IT, as well as enterprise’s industrial, network.
• Deploy a dedicated protection solution, empowered with behavioural-based anti-phishing technologies, as well as anti-targeted attack technologies and threat intelligence, such as the Kaspersky Threat Management and Defense solution. These are capable of spotting and catching advanced targeted attacks by analyzing network anomalies and giving cybersecurity teams full visibility over the network and response automation.

Two Sawtooth winter bushwhacks to close out the Range for my friend Jean.

The Sawtooth Range is not all that well known. It was named after the two highest peaks that are side by side. Marshall named them Raker and Cutter for their resemblance to the types of saw teeth. We were interested in Sawtooths 7 and 8, which are higher than 4 and 5. This confusion stems from two different lists,which each use different col depths for inclusion criteria. Just to make it even more confusing ST’s 7 and 8 may also be called Sawtooth 1E and NE.


We (Jean, Marie-Josée AKA Oliver and Spike) parked at Averyville on a nippy morning and got a late start. I was still sick but much better than I had been for the 2 previous weeks during which I lay around the house losing fitness. We broke trail easily along the Pine Pond Road, across the beaver swamp and 800 feet up an old logging road that ends in a pile of rubbish that was once a camp. At this point the beauty surrounding us was overwhelming. Skies were blue and the very open woods were covered in snow. Every tiny hardwood branch was coated in white. We followed a sinuous route staying in open channels with easy trail breaking all the way to the foot of Saw-8’s summit cone.


I knew from past experience that 500-foot cone would slow us down,which it did. Swapping leads often it took us 55 minutes to go .25 miles. Now sweaty we didn'’t linger on top in the cold. I had done our route over 8 to 7 3 times previously (11 years ago in winter and two trips back to back in early summer. I thought I had the route hard-wired and only remembered open woods and easy travel. This was not to be. The plan was to descend 500 feet and traverse under the 8-7 ridge-line with its horrendous cripple-bush. It took us nearly an hour to descend and travel .15 miles. No one was having fun and I was feeling under the weather, with a sore throat and a burning in my chest. I was dreading the out and back and was more than happy with the group decision to turn around. It was 2:30-ish anyway.


The re-climb went quickly in our tracks and the return over the ridge back to the logging road was another dose of nirvana for us all. We got back to the car at 5, just before needing headlamps. It was above zero – just.


Fast forward seven days minus one hour and in colder temperatures we (Jean, Marie-Josée, Nathalie and myself) quickly tramped our way up to the end of the logging road. Following our hardened trail up ST-8 was easy. I was feeling much better and was at 90% of my force. We had learned from our previous experience and I had racked my brain all week trying to remember back through the years to my previous trips. So, 150 feet from 8 we split off from our track and followed a bearing down through open woods. We intersected the previous track and followed it for a short spell before deviating to its left down, down until we hit very open woods. Then, guided by my GPS, we paralleled the older track at this lower elevation and side-hilled our way into the 8-7 col. Easy-peasy, although the snow was deep and not very supportive.


From the col to 7 we had .58 miles to go and several hundreds of feet to ascend. This took us about 90 minutes of hard work climbing in deep snow intermixed with easier snow conditions and gentle slopes.

Once on top we didn’t stay long to celebrate Jean'’s closing out the 11 Sawtooths and while I waited briefly for the others I paced back and forth to keep warm. The return trip went quickly although the re-climb of 7 was a lot tougher than I expected. Then it was down, down, down to the Pine Pond Road with its 250 foot climb over Sugar Hill. Back at the car (total time 8h15m compared to 7h30m last week) we all froze the hell out of our hands getting out of our hiking gear and clothes. Then we drove home uneventfully eating Miss Vickey’s chips in light snow and increasing winds.


Good people, good times, good mountains. What a wonderful hobby.

High Peaks Warning

DEC Advises Backcountry Downhill Skiers, Snowboarders, and Others of Avalanche Risk in Adirondack High Peaks Region

Backcountry downhill skiers, snowboarders, and others who may traverse slides and other steep open terrain in the High Peaks Region of the Adirondacks must be aware of the risk of avalanche, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos advised today.
"Due to current snow depths and conditions, the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, and the abundant amount of snow forecasted for this weekend, DEC expects an increase in the number of recreational enthusiasts visiting the High Peaks to snowshoe, cross country ski, or simply enjoy the pristine surroundings," Commissioner Seggos said. "We are cautioning anyone planning to head to avalanche-prone terrain in the Adirondack High Peaks to be extremely careful and be prepared for avalanche conditions."

Snow depths in the High Peaks' high elevation slopes range from two to five feet and an additional foot or more of snow is expected this weekend. The new snow will fall on the current snow pack, which already has distinct layers formed by rain and melt/freeze cycles. Due to high winds, snows depths are deeper on leeward slopes or areas of snow deposits, such as gullies. Lower snow layers may be reactive to the added stresses of the recent snows, creating conditions conducive to avalanches.

Avalanches can occur in any situation where snow, slope, and weather combine to create the proper conditions. While much of the steep open terrain is found in the High Peaks Region of the Adirondacks, avalanche-prone terrain is found on mountains throughout the Adirondacks, including Snowy Mountain in Hamilton County.

Avalanche danger increases during and immediately after major snowfalls and during thaws. The forecast for this weekend is for mostly sunny and partly sunny skies with temperatures above freezing. While this weather is appealing to outdoor enthusiasts, it also increases the danger of avalanches.

The majority of avalanches in the United States occur in the western mountains. However, avalanches do occur in the northeast and can have dire consequences. Last year, Vermont State Police, multiple volunteer search and rescue groups, and resort ski patrols received dozens of calls for assistance resulting in more than 30 skiers and snowboarders requiring rescue. In February 2018, a skier on Wright Peak was trapped in waist-deep snow. He escaped uninjured with the assistance of his companions. This is the same peak where one person was killed and five people were injured in an avalanche while skiing in February 2000.

DEC reminds back country winter recreationists to take the following precautions when traveling in avalanche-prone terrain:
•Cross-country skiers and snowshoers should stay on trails and avoid steep slopes on summits;
•Know the terrain, weather, and snow conditions;
•Dig multiple snow pits to conduct stability tests - do not rely on other people's data;
•Practice safe route finding and safe travel techniques;
•Never ski, board, or climb with someone above or below you - only one person on the slope at a time;
•Ski and ride near trees - not in the center of slides or other open areas;
•Always carry shovel, probes, and transceiver with fresh batteries;
•Ensure all members of the group know avalanche rescue techniques;
•Never travel alone; and
•Notify someone about where you are going.

Additional information on avalanche danger, preparedness, and safety precautions is available on the DEC web site.

Kaspersky may have helped U.S. catch alleged NSA data thief

The computer security firm Kaspersky Labs helped the US NSA spy agency uncover one of its worst-ever security breaches – one year before the US banned the company’s products for government use, US media has reported.

Politico and the Washington Post said the Moscow-based maker of anti-malware products told the National Security Agency that one of its contractors, Harold Martin, had contacted it via cryptic messages on Twitter.

The messages arrived at Kaspersky shortly before unknown hackers known as the “Shadow Brokers” made available on the Internet an assembly of advanced hacking tools that the ultra-secret signals intelligence body used to spy on the communications and computers of foreign governments and officials.

After the Shadow Brokers release, Kaspersky researchers thought there was a connection with Martin’s messages and reached out with the information to the NSA.

Weeks later, in August 2016, federal agents arrested the contractor, Harold Martin, discovering that he had stockpiled in his home a massive amount of sensitive NSA data, computer code and programs – some 50 terabytes worth – over two decades.

It was considered the largest-ever breach of classified data in US history.

According to the reports, the Twitter messages were used to justify the warrant issued to investigators to search Martin’s home.

The Kaspersky assistance “indicates that the government’s own internal monitoring systems and investigators had little to do with catching Martin”, Politico wrote, citing two unnamed sources familiar with the Martin investigation.

But within months, the NSA decided that Kaspersky itself could have been instrumental in another leak of its hacking tools, and in September 2017 officially banned the use of Kaspersky software from computers involved in any government operations.

US intelligence officials – including then-NSA chief Michael Rogers – suggested Kaspersky had intimate ties to Russian intelligence.

“The risk that the Russian government, whether acting on its own or in collaboration with Kaspersky, could capitalise on access provided by Kaspersky products to compromise federal information and information systems directly implicates US national security,” acting secretary of Homeland Security Elaine Duke said at the time.

Kaspersky strenuously denied the allegation. But it took a heavy toll on Kaspersky’s two-decade-old business that saw its antivirus software installed on hundreds of millions of computers around the world.

Both the NSA and Kaspersky declined to comment, with the NSA citing the ongoing litigation regarding Martin.

Martin has been charged with theft of and illegal retention of classified data in his Maryland home.

But he has not been charged with leaking the materials to the Shadow Brokers or any others. – AFP

Square Falls, SPWA, 16 Jan, 2019

For our first ADK hike of 2019, Tredhed and I decided to revisit Square Falls on the East Branch of the Sacandaga River in the Siamese Ponds Wilderness Area. We last visited this neat destination way back in the late summer of 2013, http://www.adkforum.com/showthread.php?t=19167

We weren't really sure what the snow conditions would be like this morning, so we slapped on the snowshoes after we arrived on the Rt. 8 parking area. A loose granular base under a couple inches of powder were perfect for an enjoyable one mile snowshoe hike to this great destination.

A few flurries greeted us as we turned onto the unmarked path. (Actually, a driveway to a nice car camping site about 100 yds from the large parking area).



Just past the car camping site, the path narrows as it drops down to cross Martha Brook.



Once across Martha Brook, we entered the Siamese Ponds Wilderness Area and climbed slightly along the banks of the East Branch of the Sacandaga River.



Navigation was fairly easy as all we had to do was follow the coyote tracks down the middle of the path.



Within a few minutes, we arrived at the cable crossing site. Both cables were still attached, but we decided not to test their tensile strength on this occasion.



The path changed its character once we got past the cable crossing. It undulated over uneven terrain, past ledges, ice falls and large erratics.



After several short, but steep pitches, we were walking on the top of the gorge. The East Branch tumbled through the rocks and ice some 70 feet below us. I thought the pea soup green color of the ice was interesting.



A steep downhill over sketchy snow/ice conditions brought us close to the river in a beautiful hemlock grove.



A hundred yards later, we passed a very secluded designated campsite complete with moose tracks. :clap:



Just past the campsite, we came to the falls. While they were iced over, they did provide a great place to enjoy some hot chocolate as we took in some nice views of the river.





When it was time to head back, I decided to take off my snowshoes and put on micro-spikes. The short, steep sections of the path were a lot easier for me in spikes today. Tredhed kept his snowshoes on and didn't have any problems.

Soon enough, we recrossed Martha Brook and made it back to the Tredhead mobile. A quick stop at George Henry's in Warrensburg for a pint of Fiddlehead was a good reward for a short, but enjoyable day in the woods.

Winter Bushwhack up St. Regis Mt.

I've always been annoyed that there isn't a trail to the summit of St. Regis Mt. from St. Regis Pond or any of the other ponds south of the peak. I'm sure there are perfectly logical reasons for this, but it seems sort of ridiculous that if you're camping on St. Regis Pond with beautiful views of summit, you have to head back to the Lake and paddle past all the houses on the shoreline to access the trailhead. Sort of ruins the magic, right?

With that in mind, I was exploring the possibility of bushwhacking to the summit directly from our camp on St. Regis Pond in a few weeks. I checked out the satellite imagery and I've charted a path that avoids the swamps, spruce groves, and keeps the incline reasonable. I was wondering if anyone has done such a bushwhack (especially in winter) and if they had any good info.

A bit of background to minimize the finger wagging: we are experienced hikers. I've done a ton of bushwhacking (I tend to prefer it to hiking). We'll have GPS devices, paper maps, and compasses, all in duplicate, along with a DeLorme. We'll have plenty of warm gear and all the proper first aid equipment, along with headlamps and back up lithium batteries. We also realize that things might end up tougher than expected and we'll have to turn around before getting to the summit to insure that we make it safely back to camp before dark. It's a call I've made plenty of times before (discretion, valor, and all that.)

I spoke to the ranger, and she recommended against it - not like "don't do that" but "you probably don't want to". But she also said we should camp at Fish Pond instead of St. Regis, since it's snowmobile accessible and easier for rescues... a rather odd way to pick a campsite. In my experience some rangers treat everyone like an idiot, which is understandable given their line of work, but it makes me take what she said with a grain of salt.

All that said, is this feasible? Foolish?

Pulk sled harness suggestions

Any recommendations on a good one? I was contemplating just wearing my nearly-empty summer pack (maybe rain gear, snacks and water), connecting it to that, and hauling my winter pack in the sled, but then I saw pics of people using harnesses only. Most of the ones I've seen look like they are for working out so I'm not sure if they'll work over top of winter clothing. Any suggestions? Thanks!


Cobble and Cobble Jan 12 2019

Although a cold weekend, forecast said blue skies in Northern NY, and both were accurate! Holding off skiing Whiteface until Sunday, ideally above zero temps, really wanted to use snowshoes instead of micros for a change this season.

So - after breakfast in Jay (land of make believe site, great food and coffee!) and seeing just a few inches on snow on the ground, headed up from Wilmington four corners past Santa's Workshop/North Pole, the ASRC, took a right at the WF highway tollgate, and in a quarter mile on the right is the DEC sign to Cobble Lookout. Wide road, no parking issues on side of road, and a plow went by while parking without any dirty looks always a good thing.

One other car and tracks but they ended about 5 minutes in, at the ice cliffs. Broke trail the entire way. Not difficult as only 3 inches max of new snow, but wow the trees are covered and frozen and beautiful. Definately needed SS so right choice. Blue markers were covered with ice on the way in (heading East, from the West wind) so had to keep looking back to confirm on the trail. Second half of trail tougher to follow. Not hard, but not easy, and had to think a lot, and a bit of splitting up, one staying by last marker, the other finding the next one, which was most times out of sight. Took about 1 hour 10 minutes to reach the lookout. Awesome awesome views with 6 degrees and clear skies. 40 minutes back.

Wanting to play with some vertical on the SS, parked at Northwoods for Cobble Hill. Couple inches in snow by parking (total not new) but more in woods so good choice w/ SS again. Up via the short trail, down the longer loop by Lost Pond. The steep slabs were tough, had to use the rope, then above the rope about a foot of fresh slippery loose snow made it challenging. Definately not going down that! Amazing how hot 8 degrees feels when climbing that slab!

Overall day about 5 miles. Zero people at the Lookout trail in Wilmington (except the 2 climbers) all day. None. So quiet and alone. 4 people at Cobble Hill, 2 on SS, 2 on Nordic skis at the top. Great way to get the bugs out on SS and remember to wear less layers and keep them in the packs!

Blue Mountain hiking?

I'm thinking of doing the Blue Mountain hike this weekend.

Considering the wildly varying weather here downstate; any recent reports of what the trail is like at the moment? I'll be using microspikes, but is there enough snow to justify bringing snowshoes as well?

Thanks!

POLL: Your longest day?

POLL: What is the longest day you've ever had hiking?

I've never broken 16 hours.
16 was the longest marathon hike I've ever endured when I climbed Marcy, Gray, Skylight, Haystack, Basin and Saddleback.

The Catskill Bushwhack range took me 15 1/2 hours: Wittenburg, Cornell, Friday, Balsam Cap, Rocky, Lone, Table, Peekamoose.

After a climb completely goes around the clock (more than 12 hours), it just gets increasingly insane from there!


Winter Ski Trip

Hi everyone, planning on doing a BC ski trip the second weekend of February. The game plan is to hike in from the Garden and camp near JBL. Planning on pulling a pulk with most of our gear and wanted to get everyone's take on whether or not that was a good idea (vs. carrying everything on my back) and/ or which trails would be better suited for pulling a sled (Phelps Trail vs. Southside Trail).

Also looking for any recommendations on good ski lines. Planning to hit Bennie's Root Canal and any additional info on that or other nearby areas would be greatly appreciated!


Chouinard slides

This year's Mountainfest is, as always, on Martin Luther King weekend (1/19/2019). It is put on by the Mountaineer and Adirondack Rock and River and is a festival celebrating winter activities such as ice climbing, snowshoeing etc. - Clinics are taught, slide shows given and while the weather can at times be challenging, it almost always delivers as a highlight of the winter season. This year there will be a very short (15 minutes) presentation given before the feature slide show on Saturday night at the Keene Central School. This warm up presentation will commemorate a very historic event that occurred at Chapel Pond 50 years ago (almost to the day) which, being a lover of all Adirondack history, I would like to make mention of here. In 1969, Yvon Chouinard (famous climber and founder of the company, Patagonia) organized a clinic to be held somewhere in the Northeast that was to introduce his new, revolutionary climbing tools/crampons to the climbing world. Chouinard and his 2 friends - Doug Tompkins (founder of the clothing company, North Face) and Jim McCarthy (famous Gunks climber) asked the American Alpine Club to send 2 members from each AAC state chapter in the Northeast to this clinic which they decided (due to its' great ice and central location), would be held in the Adirondacks. These representatives would then go back to their home states and spread the word about these new techniques and climbing tools to their fellow climbers. The clinic was held at Chapel Pond and Chouinard's new, much shorter ice tools with curved picks (instead of straight picks that didn't work in steep ice) and his new rigid, 12 point crampons, were introduced...This clinic is well known by all serious ice climbers and climbing historians agree that this event gave birth to the modern version of the sport of ice climbing. To honor this event, Jeff Lea, a long-time New Hampshire guide and attendee of the clinic representing new Jersey at the time, will give a short presentation remembering this historic event and showing a few slides/tools etc. Also!!! The highly elusive Yvon Chouinard himself will send a short video clip of himself reminiscing about that era/event. This is a huge deal since we've been trying to get him to come East for over 20 years! His video clip may be nothing much but at least he responded and will make an attempt...So just a heads up - Saturday night, 1/19 at KCS - see the Mountaineer's website for more info...

stripperguy is homeless

Well, not in that sense! But MDB and I have been squatting at my daughter and SIL's house for a while, and will continue to do so until we build a new house.

So it's difficult for me to work on projects with no dedicated space and limited tooling. Even so, my son and my nephew both need paddles for their strippers, and my paddles are approaching 20 years old and showing their age (like I'm not?)

We decided to do a batch of bent shaft paddles. Nothing fancy, pine shafts, cedar blades, phenolic tips, 4 oz glass on the blades. Blades will be 8 x 20, angle about 12 degrees.



I'll try to document as I go along...

LOST: crampons and ministove

December 23 I hiked from JBL to Marcy summit, taking the Hopkins trail at the junction. On the way back to JBL from the summit I backtracked on the same trail. I took a break a little past the junction while somewhere on the Phelps trail. Anxious because of the looming darkness and a headlamp with dim light bc of the cold, I forgot to fully zip the lower compartment of my bag. I noticed when I was closer to the JBL that a pair of Black Diamond crampons and a mini stove fell out of my bag. Also a brown fleece sweatshirt and black seirus gloves (basically a yard sale).

Portable Screened Black Fly Shelter

I look forward to the beginning of paddling season. I plan to camp out of my kayak about a dozen times this season, starting in mid-May. But during the first month or so of paddling season, the blackflies can at times be pretty nasty. Selecting a campsite on a breezy point helps. So does smudge from a campfire. But often, the buggers are still brutal.

In the late afternoon, at the campsite, I tend to sit back, maybe drink a beer or two and read a book while enjoying the view. I was thinking there might be some sort of lightweight collapsible shelter I could pick-up to set up around me while I sit back in my folding chair. The shelter needs to be light and small enough to be carried in or on my kayak.

Here is something I saw on Amazon:

Anybody have ideas or suggestions?


Hornbeck Sable kayak

Hi,
I restore kayaks, it's become more of a hobby/passion than side job. In the years doing so I have owned well over a hundred boats. I now only pick up exotic or rare models. Recently I obtained a kayak in the Adirondack area. With the exception of a single post on this forum it is a ghost. The boat is a Hornbeck Sable 18'6" carbon fiber/Kevlar. Hornbeck took a shot at the kayak market in about 2005 from what I've found. I was wondering if anyone ever even came across one of these before.

As for the one I got, It's getting a lot of work incl. an outer hull to deck seam to replace the tape, a new custom carbon/fiberglass seat, rear cockpit bulkhead, new hatches, rudder and foot controls.
