Departing from the Script: July 2014

http://dftscript.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Departing from the Script. Friday, July 25, 2014. Lone, Rocky and Balsam Cap - 2014-07-19/21. I'd been meaning to hike the Bushwhack Range (Lone, Rocky, Balsam Cap, Friday) for some time, but going to somewhere that remote as a solo hiker is beyond my risk tolerance. On July 19, I finally got my wish, as my hiking buddy Sarcasm the Elf agreed to give it a whack (no pun intended). (Well, maybe intended just a little bit! We turned off a little bit past the brook, and started up the northwest spur of Lone.

ScAtTeRbOnE's ADVENTURE'S: May 2012

http://scatterbone.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Monday, May 28, 2012. SHREWSBURY PEAK VT 35'ER (The "Exploring Vermont" Hike). I continued on as the trail gradually climbed up through a deciduous forest. I came upon a lot of moose sign along the trail. The wildflowers (White Violet, Painted Trillium, Purple Trillium) were also a nice diversion along the way as the trail steepened and entered into the evergreens . As I neared the summit there was all evergreens and the terrain became steeper. And after a little searching a little nicer view East. On th...

Thursday, September 30, 2004. HADLEY MTN ADK FIRE TOWER (The "Beginning" Hike). Just below the firetower is the old observers cabin. Nearby was what seemed like it was a root cellar. Nick and Louie in the Root Cellar. We descended the mountain and this hike really got me interested in hiking for sure. Nick asked me if I wanted to go to the High Peaks and I said sure! Hadley Mtn.

ScAtTeRbOnE's ADVENTURE'S: June 2012

http://scatterbone.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Monday, June 18, 2012. THE VERMONT PRESIDENTIALS VT-35ers (The "Busted Toe-Nail and Spiral Chimney" Hike). We ascended quickly to the junction of the Long Trail. At the junction we encountered a weary but determined Long Trail thru-hiker with duct tape on his boots. A short distance from the junction was the Cooley Glen Shelter. We headed back south along the Long Trail enjoying a pleasant ridgeline atmosphere full of balsam trees and afternoon breezes. We headed down to the Emily Proctor Shelter where w...

Thursday, August 30, 2012. ALLEN MTN ADK 46'ER (THE "SAFE CROSSINGS" HIKE). I set out solo to hike Allen mountain along the East River Trail from Upper Works. It was a chilly morning and I wasn't looking forward to wading the cold Hudson River in my water shoes. Fortunately when I reached the river the water was low and I was able to rock-hop accross. A cool early morning on the Hudson. Lake Jimmy Boardwalk (*Since Removed). Early Morning on Lake Jimmy. Steep section of the slide. View from the slide.

I picked up my friend Mike (SavageStorm) in Saratoga and we headed up to South Meadows Rd for a hike to Tabletop Mtn in the Adirondack High Peaks. We enjoyed some roadside views of the High Peaks in the early morning from Rt 73 near Keene. We signed in and headed for Marcy Dam following fresh coyote prints along the truck road into Marcy Dam. It was here that Mike noticed my prize-winning "Beardcicle" and we had to photograph it.

ScAtTeRbOnE's ADVENTURE'S: April 2009

http://scatterbone.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Monday, April 27, 2009. PHARAOH MTN HIKE (The "Summer in April" Hike). I hiked Pharaoh Mountain from Crane Pond Rd. My hike began at the ford on Crane Pond Road in the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness. I decided not to try to cross the ford and hiked the .3 miles to Crane Pond. Where the road ends a trail crosses Crane Pond on a wooden bridge and begins down an old woods road. This guy caught me by surprise as I trodded down the path, he was right next to the trail at a stream crossing. I always enjoy finding a s...
