Internal Energy - Chi as a possibility of No Contact Combat

Hi Guys,



I'm curious - What do you think about developing Internal Energy (Chi) as a possibility of No Contact Combat?

















Burmese Boxing

This is a great series of outtakes from an upcoming DVD on lethwei, less promo and more like tiny movies. There is a series of six or seven of them. I like this one a lot. Well worth checking out. Enjoy!

Animal Misidentification

Ok, so with all the rumors about lynx, mt lions and bigfoot, I wanted to share a story from last week.

We were driving on 28N between Newcomb and North Creek, doing about 40 MPH, and pulling over so cars could pass and we could look at the scenery. Suddenly, a large animal darted across the road, too quick for my wife to get a pic, but long enough for both of us to get a good look. The animal was larger than our golden retriever, tan in color with the execption of a black tip on it's tail. My wife swore it was a bobcat or small mt lion. She changed the mt. lion to bobcat and swore it was a bobcat becuase she didn't see the prominent nose. I KNOW it was a coyote, because I saw the nose, head and bushy tail. She said the tail wasn't that bushy. This discussion continued until we got reliable cell service and were able to look up coyotes on the phone, and she conceded it was a 'yote.




First ADK Trout

Just got back from the adk this weekend. An awesome trip! My 3 year old caught his 1st brookie and I got my first brookie and brown! Also, got an unknown pan fish and fallfish (?). I don't have the brookie pics yet, but here are some of the others. The brookie is too big (pic, not fish).

Thanks to everyone who helped out with advice. All the fish are still swimming...found out they liked anything silver, even the split shot over a worm! Replaced the trebles on a cleo with a red single hook and took off the barb. Caught most from the dock at the cabin we stayed at, so they must be this year's stockings.

All in all, an awesome week. Coyotes yipping at night during our campfires (spotted 2 during the day), hiked over 10 miles as a family (awesome for our 3 year old) and had awesome full peak foliage scenery!

Loon Lake Mountain trail question

Hello from a new member.



It's been awhile since I hiked the Adirondacks, and several of us spent a glorious week in the Paul Smiths area last week (September 20 - 27). We had great weather, and the foliage probably peaked while we were there.



On the advice of a great guy at St Regis Paddling Center (whose name I unfortunately didn't get), we decided to summit Loon Lake mountain. What a gem of a trail! I think I'll continue to visit the mountain over the years to see the progress in the trail condition, or when I have time, volunteer for trail work.



Here, finally, is the question. The topo maps all show another trail that approaches the summit from a more westerly direction. What's the story with that one? It looks like the access from the logging road is probably on private property.



While we were at the summit, I believe I could see the remains of that trail by looking under the branches of a fir tree, but I didn't want to bushwhack around up there and damage any vegetation, or risk getting off the approved trail onto private property.



Anyway, thanks for reading, tia for any answers, and keep on truckin!



Tom
