Woodland Caribou Canoe Trip 2022
มุมมอง 1.4Kปีที่แล้ว
Rick Baker and I completed a 14-day (Sept. 9-23, 2022) canoe trip in Woodland Caribou Provincial Park of western Ontario, Canada. Postponed, rescheduled, and postponed again, this trip was a long time in the making. Conspiring against us were border closings and health issues. We were constrained in route selection by my recently broken foot and thus the desire to avoid portages. Also we wanted...
Solo, 2-night winter backpacking trip to climb West Mountain in the Adirondacks.
มุมมอง 1343 ปีที่แล้ว
I climb West Mountain, a remote peak in the Adirondack Mountains of New York, and in the process discover why anyone would want to climb such an unimposing summit. I access the 2,902 foot peak via the Sucker Brook Bay Trail creating an 11.4 mile round trip. This was a 2-night backpack trip which I did December 7-8, 2020. The solitude was total - I saw no one.

I venture on a 2-night backpacking trip along the eastern part of Pennsylvania's Elk Trail. My mission is to find elk. The elk rutting season is on and the animals can be seen and heard. The days are sunny and bright, and the nights cool. The fall foliage is spectacular. I solve the expected lack of water issue. October 8-10, 2020.
Gates of the Arctic Backpacking Trip, August 2019
มุมมอง 7K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Two (old) guys embark on a 14-day backpack trip in a northern part of Gates of the Arctic National Park, Alaska (GAAR). They hiked from Agiak Lake to Anaktuvuk Pass, August 8-22, 2019. There are no trails or campsites in GAAR and hiking can be difficult. Tussocks, wetlands, willow/birch scrub, and river crossings are just some of the challenges to movement in the tree-less, sub-arctic tundra. I...
