Thanks for your comments Bill. Mike often hikes in the White Mountains, and he was complaining about the brutally tough uphill slogs with no breaks or switchbacks. He said the Catskills and Adirondacks are better because you get a break once in awhile. PS: I'm willing to try that Daniel...

After last years false start, I had to climb Mount Marcy all the way. I worked out at the gym all year to do it right. Columbus day weekend in the Adirondacks this year was a rare event. It was sunny 5 days in a row, and temperatures hovered around 67-70 degrees. It made for perfect climbing...

Very nicely done Mike.

Not me. I already have 2 potholders and straw-filled dolls.

I never thought of it that way Virgos. Sassafrass, red oak, birch, and tupelo can be found most anywhere in the pines. Get in the car and drive....go cat go! Poke around....explore. :dance: You won't be disappointed.

BINGO Big Woody!

I would normally come to be with my good friends and fine companions George and Scott, but....alas.....I do have a ticket to the 4th game of the World Series on that day.

Good. They need to do that as much as they can to keep it going.

True, very true. I wrote to both Senators and my Congressman and asked them to not pass the rescue package. I told them that we all need to feel some real pain in order to come clean, let the bad actors fail, and learn from this lesson.

I gave you that since you have such an interest in those artifacts from the iron industry. You don't remember because you had a beer (or 2)..(or 3)...(or 4).............

Great posts Tom. I'm glad people like you make it a habit to keep watch on the Government. You seem to have a good grasp on the financial sector. Do you work in that field?

Nice photos and nice fish Jeff. I've heard that a really big Pickerel will take a duck down. Could be a tall tale.

Indeed. Please go ahead. As for me, I'll stay clear of flammable epidermis. Bad for the lungs.

That is the distinction. Of course I meant the suburbs, and living conditions as a result of sickness, mental illness, divorce, prison, fatherless children etc. Where smiles and comfort are hard to come by. Anyone who truly knows me understands I'd be happy in the pines. But once in awhile...

I was out hiking on Dover Road tonite behind Bamber. Buddy was casing the adjacent woods out as usual and he flushed out a coyote. It started howling at Buddy. It sounded just like Bill's recordings only it was more agitated and short: ...yip, yip, yip...yowwwwwl! It was actually...

Indeed Scott. I'm sorry.

You all ever go by a house in a neighborhood, and there is clearly people living inside, and yet the curtains are just gray colored rag-like things (used to be white), and the yard is so trashed up its pathetic? I really wonder about people like that. Its hard to put things in perspective, to be...

That is plain wrong.

Nice photos Guy. I really enjoyed the 5 mile hike today with you and Jess. What a beautiful place that part of the Preserve is. That is a real treasure of South Jersey, that Parker Preserve. A great place to enjoy a sunny fall day. Here are some photos. Entrance Bog: Eagle Island...

Very touching Bill. I feel the same way about my Buddy.
