Summer Trip in the Adirondacks?

“I am going to "try" and plan an Adirondack trip for the summer...

Most likely it will be in an area that is usually wet and buggy in the Spring but hopefully better in August.

I am thinking somewhere in the area of Cranberry Lake.

What weekend works best for everyone and would you be interested?

The 2 weekends that I have in mind are August 1-3 or August 8-10....with options of coming earlier or later.

So what do you all think?

Interested?”

“Bueller....Bueller?”

“I was hoping to get a hike to either PA or the Catskills the weekend of Aug 8th.”

“Bobo? AmyG? Dare? Pennsy?”

“YES!”

“Bobo, Either weekend works for you?

How's things looking for a late arrival at the Devil's Path?”

“Mr. A - either weekend, as in Memorial or Labor Day??

The Devil's Path is not looking good, my hopes are hanging on by a thread (no pun intended). I just got slammed with a three-day project this coming week and I have to head into work today for a couple hours.”

“look at all the messages....”

“DOH! I thought this was a new thread!!! Sorry!
I must consult The Far Side calendar! Both weekends look promising, what works best for you?”

“either is looking good...

just looking to see if there is some interest before I "actually" put together a trip...”

“YA, of course I am interested. Isn't that a given by now?

I'd rather go to the High Peaks but anywhere in the Daks is good. I don't have anything planned in Aug yet so any date is open.”

“If you build it they will come....”

“I'll go only if it's -19 below zero.”

“How about SYBA?”

“I feel so left out. I'd be in for a cruise through the high peaks. I'll never pass up a trip to Haystacks”

“Both weekends would work for you SirPete?”

“just let me know”

“Alright...

I start a Trip on the trips page

We'll just have to work out details on the location but atleast we know when!”

“start=started....

It started to storm out when I was typing so I rushed to turn the computer off.”

“yeah, storm... right...”

“I started a trip discussion for this trip on the Trips page...”

“If the trip isn't in the High Peaks are you still interested in going Cap'n Bobo?”

“Are Newbies (Nooobies) aloud to come?”

“I don't see why not...”

“Cool !!!
I only live about 2-1/2 hours from that area. I also have a cabin about 1 hour from Cranberry lake on Tug Hill,NY (Osceola, NY) if you guys need a place to crash before the hike. Being a NEW guy to hiking, I can be your entertainment :-)...haha”

“Do you how much snow is still in the Tug Hill area?”

“I am going up this Friday and Saturday to Cut firewood for next winter, so I can give ya a better answer on Monday. Last I knew about a week ago there was only Snow in the woods, in areas where the sun does not hit. It has been raining for 3 days in Upstate, NY, so I would say from expirience it should be gone by now. We only got about 300 inches this season :-( The Adirondacks only gets about 1/2 of what Tug Hill gets for snow. Their should be ZERO snow left in the Adir.”

“I put a suggested route thread over on the Trips Page....

Tell me what you think!

Are you still interested in going Capn Bobo even though it's not in the High Peaks?”
