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

“Revised Trip plan posted -- still have to get to details.

“Yeah, my hot she-roommate has him in her closet...”

“still plannin on it. i'll probably have to quit my job though.... but thats likely no great loss anyway.”

“Iroquois would technically be an option to as it is a spur trail that goes to the summit, no?”

“Yeah, I guess Iroquois would be an option, but it very little uphill from the col between it and Algonquin, so we may as well go...”

“It might be a good idea to drop packs before Iroquois though. The scrub is pretty think in spots. Sherpaman duly nicknamed the herd path "The Coat Ripper."”

“The scrub is pretty think in spots?

What's this about an Iroquois Goat Raper?”

“Actually I prefer sheep I like how their wooly fur makes my .... ... oh, never mind. 8P”

“I'm tickled to hear that.

Goats are too hard to catch anyway.

And they can ram the hell outta ya.”

“sooooo, should i plan to travel on thursday and monday?

or would flying home sunday night be an option?”

“in order to properly do this trip Roam, you will need to move to Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is the only proper staging ground.”

“besides, PA has 14ers too and we have way, way, way more than Colorado, California and Washington put together. NJ and MD also have their share of 14ers. There are enough 14ers in the tri-state area to last a peak bagger a lifetime. The only difference is our 14ers are 1400 and yours are 14,000, but still.”

I think it would depend on where you fly in and out of. Albany airport is about 2.5 hours from the trailhead. The only thing is it will probably cost more to fly to.”

“Can you ensure no rain for Gothics, please? Or should I just start working on my spruce-grabbing and crab-walking now?”

“They should breed spruces with better grips, and maybe ones that seep aloe instead of sap; it's much better for your hands anyway :)”

“so PS, if I fly into Newark on Thursday afternoon you can pick my arse up right? Could I catch a lift on Monday morning as well?”

“BUMP!”

“You got it; Thursday is good, so is Monday. Just let me know what time...”

“Hmm is it time for me to surprise my wife with a trip yet?”

“lol, just remember, PhantomSoul is leading this trip, not me, so what ever happens is his fault.
8D”

“Hahaha!!! That is also scary!
I am hoping that I can make this but I need to approach the wife carefully.”

“YO LT!

Ya cut me deep G, real deep! LOL”

“Not sure Delhi is in the Catskills, but possibly on the very western (not northern) slopes. The gateway perhaps. Definitely out of the Catskill Park.

Delaware County in itself, is very beautiful.”

“yeah it is, especially in the winter i go backpacking behind the college, it nice there is never anyone up there.its like my personal park if u go back over the hill. i went snowshoeing back there all the time last year. lots of wildlife too”

“Backslacker how is the new little one doing? I was out of touch for a while.”

“Not yet LT, about 2-3 more weeks. How 'bout you?”

“Tyler was born on June 20th 9lbs 6 ozs, he is growing like a weed he is up to 13.8 now. I really hope that I can make a trip soon!

Good Luck with the delivery! It will really change your life!

“Things that go bump in the night...

No, um....New details regarding mileages, elevations, and routes posted (though the routes don't make much sense unless you have the ADK guide to the High Peaks).

Can't wait to do this...”

“They make sense to me and I don't have the guidebook. 8D”

“I can't wait either guys :-)”

“No guide book or map. I'll follow someone ;-)”

“I'm out for this trip. I can't get the friday off.”

“I'm crushed, Ya got the whole crew going and I can't swing it, bummer.”
