TR From This Weekend’s Hikes

December 14, 2010

Bearpen & Vly and WHP 12/11, 12/12/2010 Goodness the Catskills are boring! Or maybe it’s just the TR section of the forum.  Did anybody besides elkhiker hike this weekend? I’ll keep this short because I know you don’t care (not that I care if you care or not, even if you did).  Saturday’s hike was [...]

#2532

December 4, 2010

Hm.  No idea where to go with this.  Sometimes a blank screen can be positively disconcerting. Suppose I tell you about the Grid, dear reader?  I’m sure I’ve mentioned it before.  The Grid is 420 mountain-climbs.  Mine is in Excel, so that’s kind of the way I think of it overall.  The row labels are [...]

TR From Last Weekend

November 23, 2010

Here’s the linq to the forum post if you want to read the comments. BLM to McKinley Hollow: 5 Peak “Backpack” 11/20/2010 I’m a peakbagger, not a backpacker: there’s a difference.  On Saturday I combined the two – and made a bunch of mistakes.

November 23, 2010

Here’s the linq to the forum if you want to read the comments. Rocky, Lone, Table, Peekamoose 11/13/2010 Ok, just so nobody thinks I’ve stopped hiking, I climbed those four mountains last Saturday with debmonster and Vladimir (a monster in his own right).  Here’s the tracklog over at my EveryTrail page.  Note the circuituous route [...]

No Lions or Tigers, Thank Goodness

October 14, 2010

On my hike last weekend I bumped into a bear.  I was moving pretty quickly and didn’t see him.  He turned around and shoved me.  ”Watch where you’re going, dickbag,” he said.  I thought it was a bit weird that a bear was talking to me, but I excused myself politely and, stepping aside, attempted [...]

Weekend Run-Down

October 7, 2010

A month or more ago, a friend of mine said to me “hey, I checked out your blog.”  Cool.  “But I don’t really think it’s for me – I mean, unless you’re a hardcore hiker, it seems kind of tough to relate to.”  I was like, “wtf!  I don’t ONLY write about hiking, and I’m not even [...]

October 7, 2010

BLM, Graham, Doubletop 10/2/2010 I haven’t had a chance to hike with SoloJoe in a while (and I’d never hiked with his buddy Patrick), so I jumped at the chance to plan something for this past Saturday.  Consulting our grids, we decided on this route.  Here it is over at my EveryTrail page.

September 27, 2010

Night Hike: The Black Dome Range I received a text from FatVegan Friday morning that said “I feel a night hike coming on. I know you do too.”  I was like “no . . . I feel like working to pay for my hiking gear is bullsh*t and that I want to go back to [...]
