If what she said is true about summit possibilities being delayed til around the 11th, june 11 -18 could be a big week. Especially with all the sobo's already planning to start mid june.

A delay...

I have decided not to bring hiking poles along because i dont like using them, but i was advised against going w/o them

just wondering if other thru's also think this is an unsafe decision

is this a serious question

The spring down the access trail by the smith gap shelter has 3 springs and at least one always has water

Last august-beautiful weather, bugs were not an issue, trails pretty challenging, bears hissed at us like some sort of cat; will get to anything not in a canister

Stony Point Battlefield is not far south from the trail in harriman state park, on the west bank of the hudson. There is a small museum and a trail around the field with nice views of the river.

I am planning on buying an outdoor research sentinel shirt, it says most biting insects wont get through which would be useful for maine's state bird.
