Forget the Catskills, Fall Into the Adir ondacks...

“I'm out too :( Which really sucks cause the foliage is going to be so nice. :(”

“Man, people are dropping out like the prices at Wal-Mart. That being said, is anyone but me still going?

I believe I'm still heading up (next) Thursday morning with da 'Fridge, and we'll be camping at South Meadows that night...”

“I might still be able to make it, but I won't be able to take Friday off which means the earliest I can hike in is Friday night.”

“Hey Phantom,
I'm still planning to be there. As it's my first trip to the Daks I may need help locating the campsite Thurs night (I know that South Meadows Rd. is off the road to the Loj. That's about all I know.).”

“swampy, I'm assuming you will be coming from the south, taking I-87 (Adirondack Northway).
Get off of I-87 at exit 30
Head North on Route 73 for about 24 miles.
Take a left onto Heart Lake Road towards the ADK Loj.
After about 3.5 miles take a left onto South Meadows Road (it's a small dirt road)
There are campsites along the road.”

“Something else to note. I wouldn't recommend going up Little Marcy. It's a bushwhack to the top and I've heard there are no views from it.”

“Hey, I'll be in NYC on Wed and Thur night (12 and 13)

who wants to party in Manhatten?”

“NYC is a bit far for me during the work week (200 miles one way), so I guess that's a no for me.”

“wimp!”

“That too. Them city people scare me. 8p”

“I'm out. Can't get monday off.”

“hey GreenMonkey - how about Ricketts Glen this weekend. Ox, Phantom of the lost Soul and myself, perhaps others are hitting the Glen for a dayhike Saturday. Ox and I are camping Friday night and you're more than welcome to join us.

RG is a sweet place.”

“Sounds cool. I may join y'all.”

“yeah, it's probably not all that far from you”

“I'm out. It's done nothing but rain for about 10 straight days. I think one would need a boat to hike the trails, not to mention the danger of the water crossings with all this rain.”
