Easy overnight to Hopping Bear Point, Lake Placid, 2/23 - 2/24/19
A friend and I decided to take advantage of the warm weather this past weekend by taking a quick and easy trip. We selected the lean-tos at Hopping Bear Point on Moose Island on Lake Placid as out overnight destination- the lean-tos were just over 2 miles of snowshoeing across the frozen surface of the lake from the public boat launch in the Village of Lake Placid. Our arrival coincided with sunset, and we were treated to spectacular views of Whiteface as we made our way across the ice and the light faded.
We were a bit worried that we might have difficulty finding the lean-tos in the dark, but either by chance or navigational skill, we snowshoed almost directly to them. It wasn't long before we were settling in, donning warm layers, and getting supper started. An amazing dinner of tortellini with alfredo sauce, broccoli, red pepper, and chicken sausage filled us to the brim (and it was the dog's lucky night, as there was more dinner than our powers combined could consume).
Soon we were crawling into our sleeping bags and turning out our headlamps. Across the way, the boathouse lights at a private camp on Hawk Island shone brilliantly- so brilliantly, in fact, that they were almost an obnoxious hindrance to falling asleep. They must've been on a timer, as they eventually shut off around 2:00 in the morning.
The next morning dawn grey and windy. I took a few minutes to poke around the surrounding area- the lean-tos appear old, but are generally in good shape regardless.
Both of us had work to do that day, so before long we were packing up and setting out back across the ice.
As we made our way back towards the Lake Placid boat launch, the winds steadily increased, whipping the clouds above us into a fury of towering cathedrals of vapor. Blue sky appeared, and even the sun showed its face in peaks and glimpses.
All in all, it was a fun and easy trip for a simple 1 night winter getaway. The convenience of the ice made it easy to access these shelters especially without much planning or forethought (although the boat launch in Lake Placid only allows parking for 24 hours, so additional planning would be necessary for a trip longer than a single night). I've long had my eyes on these lean-tos for overnights towards the lean-to challenge- and now I've got one of them checked off on my list. :) At some point, I'll be back to stay in the second.

Sunrise?
We've done a few winter peaks and always camp out one or two nights. My last non-peak trip in January I hiked for about two hours in the dark and found that rather pleasant. Was wondering if there are favorite peaks to catch sunrise off of?
For example was considering hiking into the campsite near MacIntyre brook and trying either Wright or Algonquin? Or there is a site on the trail to Lower Wolfjaw. Lake Arnold gives us a jump on Colden (although I would hope the 'wet' park of Lake Arnold trail is solid). So plan would be to not do entire hike at night, but an early pre-dawn start (nothing like a deadline)
Thinking early March.

Kaspersky Lab announces 4% revenue growth to $726 million in 2018
Kaspersky Lab continued to deliver stable growth in 2018 and increased its global unaudited IFRS revenue to a total of USD 726 million*, representing a 4% YOY revenue increase. During a year of evolving market conditions and continuous geopolitical pressure, the company achieved success as a result of the trust customers and partners place in the company and its leading cybersecurity solutions and services.
Among the strategic business areas that drove Kaspersky Lab’s growth in 2018 were Digital and Enterprise. The company saw an increase in digital sales (+4%**) and strong growth of 16%** in the enterprise segment, with 55%** growth in non-endpoint products and services in particular. Overall, the company secured healthy results in these business areas by delivering some of the best products and services in the industry, as well as new solutions and technologies that prevent, detect and respond to the most sophisticated cyberthreats.
Commenting on the year’s results, Eugene Kaspersky, CEO of Kaspersky Lab, said: “2018 was a crucial year for us. After all the challenges and unsubstantiated allegations we faced in 2017, we had a responsibility to show that the company and our people deserve the trust of our partners and customers, and in turn, to continue to clearly demonstrate and prove our leadership. Our continued positive financial results are proof of this, demonstrating that users prefer the best products and services on the market and support our principle of protecting against any cyberthreats regardless of their origin.”
Globally, the company’s performance was driven by robust results, especially in META (+27%**), as well as in other regions, such as Russia, Central Asia and CIS*** (+6%**), APAC (+6%**) and Europe (+6%**), while there was a slowdown in Latin America (-11%**) mainly caused by currency devaluation in the region.
The challenging geopolitical situation resulted in an overall slowdown in the North American market, where sales decreased by 25%**. Despite these challenges, Kaspersky lab maintained and developed its presence in the market, with an 8% increase in new licenses sales in digital.
In 2018, Kaspersky Lab advanced the progress of its Global Transparency Initiative by undertaking a number of significant actions. Notably, the company began the relocation of its IT infrastructure to Switzerland and opened the first Transparency Center in Zurich. Kaspersky Lab also implemented an audit by one of the Big Four professional services firms of the company’s engineering practices around the creation and distribution of threat detection rule databases. Today’s ultra-connected global landscape requires increased transparency from organizations, and this unique initiative demonstrates Kaspersky Lab’s clear commitment to assuring the integrity and trustworthiness of its solutions in the service of the customers.

Loj-Haystack-Garden. Snow day.
With Joe Bogardus.
15-20 years ago it was fairly normal to need 2 or 3 trips to get a single winter peak. Winter hikers were thin on the ground and gear was nowhere near as highly developed as today. The “reference point” for normal was very different from today. Gradually at first, and then exponentially as the positive feedback loop took effect, it grew easier and easier to climb the 46 High Peaks in winter. Better gear helping, and packed out trails being the key, our reference point has shifted way over to the easier end of the scale. Now, it is a rare event not to achieve one's goal of stringing together multiple peaks in a single day or doing all 46 peaks (or even all 100) in a single season.
This winter however, the reference point of normal seems to have shifted back a little bit. I haven't hiked very often this season but each hike has been extremely difficult. 50 minutes from Times Square to Panther in chest pounding conditions, 12 hours for the 3 Santas feeling half-past dead at the end of it. 12h30 minutes for the Dix Range and so on.
Which brings me to yesterday's hike.
Yesterday, a couple of old, and just bold enough hikers booted and snowshoed up to the Van Ho-Phelps trail junction. The idea was to proceed at an energy conserving pace and this we achieved in 3h10m. Our thoughts were focused on what was to come, which was unknown. As soon as we stepped onto the unbroken Phelps trail everything changed. I have been up and down this trail many times but never had I seen it with this much snow. It was impossible to discern where it was. Multiple seams and openings spread out in all directions and any one of them could have been the right one. No trail markers were visible.
We used a GPS and a tracklog made from Open Street Map data to know when we were on the the trail and which way we had to go to get back onto it. It was always a surprise at how easily we went off, sometimes way off surprisingly quickly, and this in spite of using a compass for directional guidance.
When we arrived at the Range Connector junction after taking 50 minutes to cover the half-mile, downhill, I didn't even notice it. No sign showing and no evidence of the two trails visible.
Now, the going would get very tough. Every step involved sinking in to the knees and pausing to allow the snow to "set" under the snowshoe before applying all of one's weight onto it with the knee bent to 90 degrees. The first wall was a chest-pounder because the snow blows down and fills it up. I led that section and topped out somewhat depleted. I knew I wouldn't be fully recovering from that 10 minutes. But, once above that wall we made easier progress except for our numerous bushwhacks trying to get back to the trail. We were at the Haystack junction in 55 minutes.
Haystack was gorgeous, all white and glowing eerily from within a shroud of mist. We switched to crampons on top of Little Hay and the sun broke through the clouds and poured down upon us like honey, which warmed our very souls. The tricky step chilled our souls but being not too bold we very carefully made our ways down safely. We dumped our packs and enjoyed the out and back to the summit and kept the crampons on all the way back down Little Hay. Total time for Haystack: 1 hour.
The drop towards Basin was incredibly beautiful with more snow than either of us remembered having ever seen. After repeating the on and off the trail experiences we made it to the lowest point and were ready to ascend Basin after 40 minutes of descent. The uphill trailbreaking was very hard and very slow. Progress came at a snail's pace with a huge deployment of physical effort. Just as I was silently hoping, once we passed the Shoreys junction the trail was somewhat firmer. Not that we could visibly detect a treadway. Time was marching along faster than we were ascending Basin. At the first steep section our progress became paltry when compared to the flight of time. The feeling of effort was steadily accumulating in our legs. There was NFW we were going to Saddleback and neither did we want to navigate the unknowns of Shoreys in the dark. It was now 2:45 and our calculations were adding up to retreating from well below the summit.
We dropped our packs (including axes and crampons having decided we weren't going to the summit) and went as far as the ladder. There was so much snow that we were 2/3 of the way up it before we realized it. Under the snow there was hard ice. The ladder itself was nearly entirely encased and to go higher we felt crampons would be required. After turning around it took us no time or effort to get onto the Shorey trail. We of course lost it over and over and ended up bushwhacking uphill in extremely gnarly conditions gaining elevation ever so slowly. I was quite glad we hadn't gone to Basin's summit. The views of Basin and Haystack in the late afternoon sun were jaw-droppingly beatifull and this made the pill easier to swallow. Once on the trail things became easier, a treadway was intermittently visible and yellow markers were visible here and there. Once we began the descent it was heaven to plunge-step and telemark in our snowshoes down and down the 800 feet to Slant Rock.
6.9 miles of speedy tromping later we were at the Garden, highly satisfied with the day's experiences.

Snowtrekker Tent, FourDog stove and a SnowDog on an Adirondack Lake
The video:
I head off with my brother for a reminiscing weekend. This is his first time winter camping. We enjoy the power of the SnowDog to get us to our camping site, the warmth of my split, dry, maple hardwood burning in the FourDog titanium stove, and the cozy, solidly built, Snowtrekker tent... not to mention the Knob Creek Smoked Maple bourbon that helps along the reminiscing time. Cheers.

Meenahga Mountain
I was working on Rainbow Lake today and I happened to catch a view across the lake towards Meenahga Mountain- where a state fire tower still stands. I've always known that the mountain is privately owned and that the tower is not accessible to the public- but I never knew that a house had been constructed on the summit. It must be nice to not only have amazing views from your mountaintop mansion, but to also have a fire tower in your yard. :)

Rod and Reel Suggestions
I made reservations for a first time 4 day canoe trip in Algonquin Park mid May. I plan on fishing as much as time allows. Mainly targeting Lakers and Brookies.
My question. If I could only bring one all purpose rod and both fly and spinning reels, what would be your suggestion. I plan on some light trolling for lakers and casting the shores and streams for brookies using a variety of lures and flies.
Thanks for your input.

Hey Gang:
Here we go again. I put out my taps last Monday (Feb. 11). A little ran that day and a little more over the weekend, but I’m anticipating a good run starting tomorrow and on through Monday. Forecast looks good in the Lake George region. Hoping to do my first boil on Monday. I’ve expanded my operation from 10 taps to 13, thanks to a Christmas present of some new buckets courtesy of my wife. ‘Hope everyone is gearing up!

Finding Security Inside the World of e-Ang Pows
Globally there is a growing movement towards becoming cashless societies.
Since 2016, Malaysian banks have offered their users with free e-Ang Pow services. The process is simple. Customers just need to transfer the e-Ang Pow from the bank app to the recipients using their valid mobile number or email address. Some financial institutions even allow sending of the e-Ang Pows through a verified Facebook account. Online transfers can conveniently be done to any other bank accounts with the correct details and One-Time Password (OTP) are keyed in.
While these cashless technology offer numerous benefits, Kaspersky Lab suggests proceeding with utmost caution.
One fundamental aspect of becoming a cashless society via digitalization is the increased adoption of online and mobile channels that have been boons for perpetrators of fraud, specifically cyberfraud. According to Forrester, there has been a 62% increase in payment fraud since Oct 2015. Global payments are expected to exceed $2.3 trillion by 2019, and each year, with non-cash payments accounting for an increasing share of this massive market.
Cashless transactions are growing by 10% , and are likely to represent over one million transactions every minute by 2020.
The increase is mainly driven by accelerated growth in developing markets such as Malaysia, primarily driven by digitization and alternative channels. Malaysia aims to be a cashless society by 2050 according to the National Transformational 2050 plan . However, based on trends and adoption rates, the nation could be a fully cashless society much earlier with the mushrooming of digital payment or e-payment platforms.
“Currently there are 34 licensed e-money issuers in Malaysia , and the number is undoubtedly at an uphill climb. Our own data at Kaspersky Lab have shown that globally, 35% of users now use their smartphone for online banking and 29% for online payment systems. With the parallel rise of available e-payment services and interested users, we expect more financially-motivated threats against this technology. Newer successful payment types will see more attack attempts as their profitability increases. The more money involved, the more tempting it is for cybercriminals,” warns Yeo Siang Tiong, General Manager at Kaspersky Lab Southeast Asia.
“When it comes to e-Ang Pows, it would be a wise move to stick to tradition, by giving out the physical red packets to the loved ones, keeping the traditional practices alive,” adds Yeo.
Kaspersky Lab has the following simple but effective tips to help Malaysians harness the convenient power of cashless technology while still securing their online money:
• Be sure that your PC and smartphone have the updated OS and solid cybersecurity solution. Kaspersky Lab's updated consumer suite 2019 are packed with features aimed at boosting financial security of devices.
• Verify the site or app that you will be using – check if they are legitimate and with strong encryption.
• Always use a strong and unique password. You can test your password at https://password.kaspersky.com.
• Implement two-factor authentication.
• Download your payment apps from official store.
• Ensure that your guards are up every time you are making online financial transactions.

Gunwale Maintenence
I figure it is a good time to take care of my pack boat since it got a lot of use last year. The plan is to remove the gunwales, sand and oil both sides and replace. Couple of questions: 1- Is in worth (or recommend) to varnish the inner sides of the gunwales that touch the hull? 2- I need to replace several screws with stripped philips heads (don't ask why!). I was considering using slicon bronze marine wood screws with a square head. I read they were less likely to strip. True? Is there an advantage over s.s? As always, thanks.

Best Weedless Frog Lure
Just wanted to shoot out a basic question to all about a tip on what the best frog with the weedless hook might be. Color, shape and weight ? I was checking some out at the store that were inexpensive ( < $5 ) . I don't mind spending a little more. But they seemed cheap and too light to cast far . I usually fish alone with a kayak or lw canoe so I can find the slow water weedy areas, I know what I"m aiming to hopefully catch so I am not asking so much for what to use it to fish for as much as a nice reliable lure once I buy it and use it . I usually fish mohawk valley north to the central adks. I may get to the northern section like twice a year. tx

Nice campsites on the Chuck Keiper West Loop in PA?
Calling Jeff Mitchell!
Last year, a few friends and I hiked the Chuck Keiper East Loop (trip report available here). This year, we are looking at returning to hike the Chuck Keiper West Loop to finish hiking the full Chuck Keiper Trail.
I was wondering if anyone had done this trail and had any recommendations for campsites especially. Based on the info on the MidAtlanticHikes page, it sounds like the sites in the Burns Run drainage and at the lower end of the Eddy Lick Run section are the nicest along this loop but I figured I'd check with folks here to see if anyone has any other recommendations. We'd probably be doing the trail in 3 full days/2 nights, and it's sounding like our group size will be a bit on the larger size- possibly 6-8 people, so any info on sites that can accommodate a group of this size would be good.
Also, are there any "must see" spots along this trail? It sounds like there's some nice cascades and waterfalls along the Yost Run section of the trail. Anything else of note?
Thanks in advance!

Project: Nat Geo ADK Trails Illustrated to MBTILE & KMZ
I have my own copy of National Geographic's 2007 "Adirondack Park" Trails Illustrated, and I've always been frustrated by how clunky the program is, and how useless it is when you're not sitting in front of your desktop. Better mechanisms now exist to package up the data from the now defunct software, which can no longer be purchased or viewed electronically.
So, I took it upon myself to export it to MBTILE and KMZ for use on mobile phones (e.g. LocusMaps on Android & MapPlus on Apple) and GIS programs (e.g. Google Earth, QGIS, and GlobalMapper).
Major credit goes to Tom Trebisky for reverse engineering the proprietary binary format NatGeo uses on disc (.TPQ files). You can find his software (written in C) on his website here. His software is an open source viewer (similar to the proprietary program) that can also run on Linux & Mac desktops, in addition to Windows. His software also allowed single exports of images at a time.
First I wrote some software in Python to parse the approximately 225 TPQ files from the disk, and export all the JPEGs. Each TPQ file contains 16 images that make up a 4x4 grid.
With the JPEGs extracted, I then used Image Magick to stitch the images together across rows, and then across columns. Putting all 16 images together results in a maplet that's 1144 pixels wide, and 1572 pixels high, that covers a 0.125 x 0.125 lat/long area. Then, for each latitude of data, I stitched the maplets together left to right. At the widest point, the rows were as many as 17 maplets across, or nearly 20,000 pixels. The result was 15 images that when laid out north to south completed the entire map.
I then wrote a KML file to setup the 15 image overlays in Google Earth using their appropriate locations. At this point, I realized that Google Earth has a texture map limit based on your video card performance, so I couldn't view the widest images. In Google Earth, you can view this limit by going to Help => About Google Earth => Maximum Texture Size. I had to use Image Magick to split the widest images in half, and edited the KML file accordingly to remap them. From Google Earth, I then saved the KMZ file, packaging all the images into one 98MB file.
Then using Global Mapper, I loaded the resultant KMZ file and exported the Raster imagery to a 460MB MBTILE file. The zoom levels range from 10 (entire ADK park) down to 15 (zoomed in all the way).
All told, I spent about 8 hours on this project spread out over the past several weeks. I learned a lot with this project, including that I never want to do it again :-) Fortunately, most Nat GEO Topo disks utilize USGS topo imagery, which is now available by simpler means.

Indian Lake Campground Reservations
Hey All,
It's that time of year again, when I stare at maps and plan summer paddling/camping adventures while the snow flies and the winds howl outside.
This year I was hoping to camp on Indian Lake, which I've paddled on a couple times while staying at Lewey Lake campground but never camped on. Some members of my extended family are going to meet us and camp at Lewey Lake for a weekend in July, and my wife and I figured we'd spend the week prior doing some primitive canoe camping. I thought mid January would be plenty early enough to reserve a site on Indian; suffice to say I was very wrong. Indian was pretty much all booked up for the whole summer by that time. Our back up plan is to go to Little Tupper, which we've been to multiple times and love, but we'd like to camp and explore someplace new. Also it would be great to already be so close to Lewey Lake, where we have a site reserved for a weekend.
So my question is, is it common for sites to come open at Indian as the season gets closer? I'm thinking when people reserve 9 months out, alot can happen in that time. Also, is there a place online where maybe people sell or trade reservations?

Training a pup for a canoe/kayak
Hey All,
I'm starting to look at the maps and guidebooks again and plan the summer paddling trips. This year, we have a new member of the group, a sweet and very energetic black lab puppy who just turned 7 months old, and she, like her predecessors, will be riding along.
I know there are several members here who have paddled regularly with dogs and I'm wondering if any of you have any tips on training a pup to ride in a canoe. My previous 2 dogs, 1 a full lab and the other a lab mix, were very good in canoes and kayaks, although I honestly can't remember training them to do it. It seems like they just took to it naturally with very little input from me. That may happen with this current pup, although it is difficult to imagine right now. She is a ball of energy, and it is hard to imagine her sitting still in a boat for hours at a time. I'll obviously start close to home, in shallow water with short day trips, but I'm hoping to do a couple of multi-day, long distance paddle trips on big lakes this summer and I'll need to be reasonably confident that the pup won't tip us over.
Thanks in advance for any advice offered.

Sawteeth 2/10
Magnificent day in the Adis if maybe on the cold side. Although this was officially my first winter HP, trail conditions were actually much easier than pretty much all of my recent shoulder-season hikes. Hard-packed snow all the way, with a bit of ice on top.
Headed out from the hiker parking at 7:15. I started to feel the wind on Lake Road and my legs got a bit cold, but the ascent effort would solve that. Met a few campers heading out. I don't know how they survived a night at -1000F (I looked at my compass/whistle that also acts as a thermometer, but the temparature was too cold to register, meaning it was below 0F).
I got to the end of Lake road at 8:30. I put on snowshoes at the start of the Weld Trail and stopped to look at the falls. After 5 miles, I was doing better time than expected and I started entertaining the thought of going through Pyramid/Gothics for the loop (which another hiker mentioned he was aiming for as he passed me). However, that was not to be as my progress considerably slowed thereafter and I was constantly out of breath and the weight of my backpack and "frontpack" were holding me back.
Switched to crampons near the top as it was getting icy. Splendid views on top of Giant, Dial/Nippletop and the Great Range. Had the top to myself and there was hardly any wind (it helps that this is not a treeless summit).
Trip down was tedious as my new boots were giving me blisters, but eventually got to the parking at 14:30. As I was leaving, the gentleman who I spoke to earlier mentioned he got to Pyramid but elected not to go onto Gothics because of dangerously icy conditions.

Must taste good?
Yesterday I noticed this odd looking "icicle" towards the top of a Maple tree.
I figure it must be frozen sap? as the Chickadees were swarming it !!!
They couldn't get enough.

Warm gloves/mitten recommendations
I know there's probably a few threads on here, but using the search I didn't come up with much - mostly what type of gloves you all wear when hiking. I'm looking for recommendations about warm gloves/mittens not so much for when you're moving, but when you're setting up camp, sitting around, gathering firewood, etc. I have a feeling I just need a good pair of mittens. I have a pair of OR glove shells with fleece liners, but they aren't enough to keep the tips of my fingers from going numb when it gets below 15 degrees or so. Same with my old gortex snowboarding gloves. I tried a pair of LL Bean down gloves and they were just useless. Any suggestions? Price I don't care so much about, within reason. I'd rather only cry once.

Janacks Landing / Dead Creek Flow from Wanakena
All I can say is "wtf"... We snowshoed down the railroad grade until we found an unexpected sharp right in the trail, I think right after a small stream crossing, marked poorly with some pink tape. It went up a pretty steep hill, and there are red seals also marking that apparent "detour." And there were no visible trail markers further down the railroad bed. So we took the detour thinking the rail bed must be washed out ahead. ..... But the stupid detour trail just awkwardly crossed a stream and looped us back to an earlier part of the trail at a point not clearly marked!!! -- so we didn't see this "detour" route the first time we passed. Not knowing why the trail was apparently improperly marked, as the "detour" actually seemed more difficult than the rail bed route it parallells, we decided just to head back to the car.
So... wtf???... is someone messing with trail markers? Is there a map in existence that shows that "detour"? Is it just a side route in case the railroad bed is washed out in the spring? If so, why isn't it shown on any maps in existence? And why is the rail grade poorly marked south of the "detour"? Are they rerouting the trail and just doing a really poor job of it? :gripe:

DEC, ADK, and 46ers Announce Initiative to Reduce Number of Search and Rescue Incidents
Effort Starts Presidents' Day Weekend in High Peaks Wilderness and Addresses High Use and Popularity of The Region
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos today announced that DEC and its partners are launching a preventative initiative to reduce the number of search and rescue incidents in the Adirondacks and help to ensure the public has an enjoyable and safe outdoor experience. The measure will increase engagement between hikers and experienced backcountry users and is part of DEC's multi-year, comprehensive effort to promote sustainable tourism while also addressing public safety in the Adirondack region.
"New Yorkers are discovering the incredible treasure that is the Adirondacks, and outreach and education are the most effective means to protect the natural resources of the area and ensure the safety of backcountry users," said Commissioner Seggos. "Hikers who properly prepare and plan before going out on the trails are less likely to get lost or injured. Hikers who are knowledgeable about proper backcountry practices have significantly less impact on the natural resources, infrastructure, and other users. This effort will increase face-to-face interactions with hikers-the most effective means of educating visitors to the backcountry."
DEC Forest Rangers, Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK) stewards and educators, and the Adirondack 46ers' volunteer trailhead stewards will promote proper planning and preparation through direct conversations with hikers at trailheads and on the trails.
This initiative, which builds on DEC's efforts to work with the communities and recreating public to address issues associated with the popularity of this region, will start in the High Peaks Wilderness on February 16-18, coinciding with the upcoming Presidents' Day holiday weekend. DEC Forest Rangers, ADK Summit Stewards, and volunteers from Keene and the Keene Backcountry Rescue organization will interact with hikers to ensure they are properly dressed, equipped, and prepared for the conditions they are likely to face on their hikes.
Hikers can expect to see Forest Rangers, stewards, and volunteers at the ADK's High Peaks Information Center, at trailheads, and on the trails of popular hiking routes in the High Peaks. DEC encourages hikers to stop and speak with the staff they encounter, ask questions, and listen to what these backwoods experts have to say so that everyone's experience is safer and more enjoyable.
"We are excited to continue our partnership with DEC and the 46ers to promote responsible recreation," said ADK Executive Director Neil Woodworth. "Planning ahead and preparing for your adventure is the most important principle of Leave No Trace. These outdoor skills and ethics protect recreationists and our valuable natural resources. Our cumulative voice in sharing this message is a powerful way to protect our public lands."
Due to the rising popularity of the Adirondacks, DEC Forest Rangers have seen an increase in backcountry search and rescue incidents requiring response. This is especially true in the High Peaks Wilderness, where the most recent four-year average rose to 97 search and rescue incidents per year. During the previous four years, Forest Rangers responded to an average of 65 incidents per year. Many of these incidents are the result of hikers being improperly prepared.
The initiative is based on the successful Preventative Search and Rescue program developed by the National Park Service. This program has decreased the number of search and rescue incidents on popular backcountry routes in Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, and Yosemite National Parks. Face-to-face education is a vital component of the program.
"Plan Ahead and Prepare" is the first of the Leave No Trace Seven Principles and the main theme of Hike Safe's Hiker Responsibility Code. DEC reminds hikers recreating this winter to plan ahead and be prepared for the elements:
•Know your skill level and physical capabilities - choose trails within your or your group's ability. Remember it takes more effort and energy to move through snow;
•Inform someone of your travel plans and let them know where you are going, your planned route, when you plan to return, and emergency numbers to call if you do not return at the scheduled time;
•Wear base layers of moisture-wicking fabric to keep your skin dry and insulating layers such as wool or fleece, waterproof or water-resistant outer layers, thick socks, a winter hat, gloves or mittens, gaiters, and waterproof, insulated boots;
•Wear snowshoes or skis and bring trail crampons or micro spikes; Bring plenty of food and water. Eat, drink, and rest often to prevent hypothermia;
•Pack a first aid kit, extra clothing, a fire starter kit, headlamp with extra batteries, and a trail map;
•and Keep an eye on the weather, and if conditions worsen, head back immediately.

Pharoah Lake Snow Conditions
Planning an overnight somewhere and thought of Pharoah Lake. Anyone know what the current snow (or lack there of) conditions are?

Map and Compass Navigation Issue
I saw this article in the NYT. Apparently, the magnetic North Pole is moving at a fairly rapid pace and is now only 25 miles from the actual pole. I assume this is enough of a change to render the declination angle on almost all maps useless. Should we be lining up with True North instead???

Trail broken to Indian head and Colvin from Lake Road 02.02.19
Lots of traffic in the high peaks these days, but figured I would just put this out there to let people know about some trail conditions last weekend.
A friend and I hiked up Indian head from the Lake Road last Saturday, 2.02.19. We left from St. Hubert's around 8:15 and started along the trail with a few other hikers. We left them at the Gill Brook Junction and continued along the Lake Road, spying lots of chaga mushrooms along on the way. We came to the end of the road, and someone had broken a path right down to the lake itself - we initially followed this but soon realized it wasn't the correct way. We backtracked, and started breaking trail up what we thought looked like a snowed-over path up Indian head. The trail markers were scant at first, and many were at our feet with the snow depth. The snow was 3-4 feet deep and very powdery. We topped out on Indian head as a light snow started to fall, and the wind gusts hit us. Beautiful views of Gothics and Sawteeth to the West, and Lower Ausable Lake to the Southwest.
We "slid" down a lot of the trail to Fish Hawk cliffs, which we also broke out. We soon met with the hikers who we left at the Gill Brook junction, they were headed towards Indian head. They raved about the snow depth and we both wished each other well. We continued along the broken trail until we reached the junction going up Colvin, greeted by a Martin along the way. Once at the top of Colvin, we took in more views of Upper Ausable Lake. I mentioned I was having pain in my hip, but wanted to continue on to Blake as we had made it this far. We started along the trail which was partially broken, and continued breaking the trail as we started to reach the steep descent. The pain in my hip grew worse and I decided it was best to turn back, ego aside.
We retreated to Colvin and passed others on their way to Blake. Upon seeing them again on the way down Colvin, it was apparent they had turned back from Blake as well, as the summit cliffs seemed too steep given the snow depth to ascend. I'm curious if it could be done technically with an ice axe and rope system, but that will have to wait until next time.
I hope this report was helpful, happy trails everyone!

Lost keys - Siamese Ponds Wilderness/Elizabeth Point
I may have lost or left my keys at the Elizabeth Point campsite in the Siamese Ponds Wilderness. I know I ended up placing them on the picnic table for a short bit at one point. I may have not put them back in my pocket and left them on the table, or they could be around/near the quinzhee we had (in which case it'd be very hard to find).
The keys are just a key ring with a dorm key (large, metal) and a bike lock key (small, plastic). It'd be nice to get them back, I'll have to pay a fee for a replacement in mid May if I don't get them by then.

Garrow movie
Went to the area opening of the Indi film "Garrow" at the Wood Theater in Glens Falls. Brought back the fear that was associated with the manhunt that summer in the Adirondack Foothills. Was very gory and brutal as were his up bringing and crimes. After being found guilty in Hamilton County he was brought to Warren County and my father sat on the Grand Jury which got an endictment for the two murders he committed in Weavertown. Some research will show some interesting back stories as well.

Royal Mt
Anyone skiing Royal this year?
I've been twice so far, and the place always impresses me. From the friendly chats with owner Jim, to the lack of lift lines, to the untouched side country stuff, it's a gem.
I skied it this past Saturday with about a foot of light powder over a breakable crust over another foot or so of dense, old snow. Woods were tricky, crust was softer higher on the mountain, firmer as you go lower. Easy to find virgin lines in the trees, every run down!
Here's yours truly (I hope), on one of the more trampled tree runs, this one even is on the trail map.
And here's my son, after a too late turn that stranded him in a drainage...

The cost of driving 55 mph in snow and ice: Professor details effect of road salting
http://www.adirondackdailyenterprise...sYCUDvBkmlF42I
This article was published in today's Adirondack Daily Enterprise. I thought it was a well-written, succinct overview of one of the more pressing environmental issues in the Adirondack Park.
My current job has me inventorying roadside trees in the Adirondacks. Over the past few weeks, I've been seeing first hand the negative impacts that road salt is having on tree health in areas immediately adjacent to the most heavily salted roads.

Fly Swap 2019???
Okay, Okay, I'll volunteer. How many of you are up for a swap?
We need a theme: How about New Twists and Old Favorites? You can interpret that as you like.
How it works for those who haven't participated:
-Each participant ties n-1 of his or her chosen pattern, where n is the number of participants.
-You mail the flies to me with an explanation of or story about your chosen pattern.
-I send you back one of everyone else's flies. They will go out in whatever container or box you shipped them in. I'll pick up the mailing envelopes and postage.
So who's in?

Looking for: Adirondack Forest Health Link
A few months ago I came across a link to an outside source, maybe an ESF write up regarding the health of ADK forest. It was in these forums.
It went into how Beech are taking over. I've spent the last 15 minutes searching and feel like the link is right under my nose... but I just can't find it.
Anyone know the article or that can provide the link? Thanks in advance!
