Where is shin deep wet section of Lake Arnold trail?

Is the notorious wet section of the Lake Arnold Trail:

Between the Indian Falls trail junction and the L. Morgan Potter (Mt Colden) trail junction?

Or between L. Morgan Potter and Feldspar

Or am I off altogether?

Thanks

Post on EMS site re: Dix Range rescue

Apologies if this has been posted - pretty concise account that points out that it wouldn't have taken much more planning and especially gear to prevent what might have been a much worse outcome.

Intro-Career advice for disabled vet's son.

Hi folks,

Looking for some career advice for my son.

I'm a long time 'Dacklover. Used to hike, hunt, & fish all over before my injuries. Now, I explore backroads, dirt roads, and CP-3 trails with my MAPPWD permit on an old Ural motorcycle & sidecar towing a tiny 350lb motorcycle tent trailer. I miss the trails, but my wife and I still manage to get out there, and pride ourselves on being gentle and leaving no trace.

My son is who I'm asking for advice about. He's mid 20's and has a bachelor's from SUNY in Expeditionary Studies. He's currently teaching English in Korea, so he's not exactly exploiting his degree like he could.

Without meddling, I'd like to be able to make a few suggestions here and there. Obviously, he could go to Paul Smith's for forestry, and move into ranger or warden territory, but there's gotta be something else.

So, I'm looking for jobs/careers in the Adirondacks or Greens over in VT. He's got a wonderful eye behind the camera lense, and obviously hiking, kayaking, etc., would help him get to the more remote photo ops. But I see SO MUCH stunning photography from our area, I can't help but doubt there's room for a career in it.

So, give me some suggestions, please. How can I help guide him?

Thanks
Donny

I found this interesting article on Adirondack forests posted in the Hunting and Fishing section by Bioguide. I thought it may reach more members by reposting in the General Discussion.

[WTA] GTX780 NVIDEA 2nd

Want to ask
Where can i get 2ndhand NVIDEA Geforce GTX780?
Whats the market price?


Berrymill Pond from Hague- Nov 18

We are back to lower elevation hikes now that the weather is cooler. We both definitely enjoy the winter and lower elevation hikes more, I am sure many of you can relate. I knew from previous posts that the lean to was new as of 2016 and I figured it may be a good location for a winter lean to overnight (maybe the winter forum overnight?). If we were to do an overnight there I would probably hike in from Putnam CG seeing as it’s just shy of a 2 mile hike.

The hike from Hague was very enjoyable, we had it to ourselves other than one hunter who was walking out around 8am. He was very friendly and we chatted a bit and wished each other well. This was our first hike using the Gaia GPS App (still had map and compass) and it was pretty neat to see our tracks, distance traveled, elevation gained and a few other things. I’ll probably continue to use it but it will never be our primary navigation method. Pharaoh Mountain Wilderness never disappoints and we plan on heading back next weekend.

White Oak Draft-Quehanna Wild Area

https://endlessmountains.wordpress.c...nna-wild-area/

White Oak Draft is a primeval place, with big trees, giant house sized boulders that loom over the creek, cascades and falls. Lots of moss and ferns. Another hidden gem in the Quehanna Wild Area.
