Aug 5-10 CO or NM
Is anyone hiking in Colorado this next week? (Or New Mexico). I will be out that way next week and can't find anyone to hike with. Had a friend lined up but she can't go now. I know this must sound pathetic but this is probably my last chance for a hike till next spring. Someone please have pity on me and go bping with me. Sniff, sniff. I'm a middle age female. I have all my own gear (and I can carry it, too, all by myself). I don't whine or argue and I can make intelligent conversation. Or stay quiet if you prefer. Surely there is someone planning on getting out there in the great outdoors somewhere in CO next week, who is is adventurous enough to invite along a complete stranger.

Hi Marley. Sorry I can't help directly, but I think I can point you in the right direction. There are a couple of Coloradans here, but try OAN. It's genuinely infested with 'em, <grin>.

Yosemite
Putting together a trip for Labor Day week. Tuolome to Vogalsang, to Merced, to Sunrise to Half Dome, then to the Valley and shuttle back to the car. 8 days on the trail. 6 guys.
Hoping to miss the crowds for back to school is that week for most.

Will be trying out the "Gearskin" I ordered. Hope to lighten up some to make up for hauling my bear canister. (Required)
Yaaaaaaa! Trip ON!!!!!!!

Way to go Wingding and Hikin' Mike, I have Whitney permits for September.

This weekend will be cliff diving into remote swimming holes in Tahoe National Forest. We found these bottomless pools last weekend and will be returning to the sun baked granite and pools that are seperated by 10-20' waterfalls. The rock scrambling pretty fun too and the water temp is perfect.

Everything is burning out hiyah!
I was going to take off Monday from work and do a two night backpack but most places nearby in the Cascades are burning up!
too bad!!!!!!!!!
Actually I had a wonderful dayhike and swim along the Little North Fork of the Santiam river on Sunday. Swam three times in cold crystal clear water... what bliss!
The trail is not in wilderness but rather in the Opal Creek Scenic Natural Area. Great dayhike.
Wondering if the North end of Jefferson up at the summit of the Cascades is clear of smoke or not?
Anyone out here and know?

If my hiking buddy decides to go with me, I will go to Starr Lake on the TRT. If not, I will probably do some solo slackpacking at one of the local county parks.

Catskills or Adirondacks
The catskills have poisonous snakes, so I tend to stay mostly on the trails in summer. They seem especially aggresive when it's really hot. Getting nailed once in the knee, was enough for me. The Adirondacks (out of the Hudson, Lk George, Champlain valley) are pretty much snake free, so I can bushwhack with a little more comfort. Some of their bugs are man eaters though.
