Friday Eric’s class visited the HP Fire Station as part of Fire Safety Week. Kathryn joined the class. They had several speakers and stations including going through a smoke house, holding a fire hose, checking out the ambulance, etc. Eric asked a couple of questions from his Cub Scout book so he could satisfy a [...] On Sunday 16 August Kathryn, Eric, Skip, Bob & I embarked on a tour of the St Regis Canoe Area via the 11 Carries Route. The 7 Carries and 9 Carries Routes are popular ways to tour through Fish Pond. We lengthened the trip and did it counter clockwise by leaving from Upper St Regis [...] I have had the itch to go camping for the past few weeks. I missed going on a spring (April) camping trip. We planned on canoeing on Little Black Creek for a daytrip, but that got pre-empted as well. Finally, Skip and I planned a quick overnight shake down canoe camping trip for Friday night. [...] Two years ago we took a weekend for a car camping trip to scout possible canoe trips for the next year. We explored put ins and take outs and checked out lakes and ponds as camping destinations. That lead us to a number of fun trips in 2007. This weekend we are re-enacting the car [...] Skip & I went to St Regis Canoe Wilderness area on Saturday AM. We launched from Hoel Pond, hopped over the RR into Turtle Pond and Slang Pond. We did the short portage into Long Pond and set up camp on the north shore across from the portage as it started to sprinkle [...] The Friday -Sunday weekend of 22-24 August Skip, Bob & I took a camping trip to Long Lake with the objective of spending a day/night on Long Lake, exiting downstream the Racquette River, turning up the Cold River to the Cold River lean-to spend Saturday night. Sunday we planned to return to the village of [...] I’ve gone winter camping with Jason several times, including our memorable dog sledding trip. Jay was interested in canoe camping and last year when I met his fiancee, Beth, we talked about scheduling a canoe camping trip. We scheduled 9-10 August for our trip and then anxiously watched the weather forecast fluctuate all over the [...] When Adam and Matt were small (pre-teen) I took them on a couple of camping trips: Once on Barton Hill in back of my parent’s house where they brough everything- pillows, dinosaur books, flashlights with dead batteries and two cook kits, “because I didn’t have to wash one”. Needless to say Kathryn and I remember carrying [...] Friday I picked Skip up at 2pm and we drove to Piseco to put in on Fall Stream for an overnight camping trip. I had heard there were issues with leaving cars overnight at the put in and so left my car at Piseco Airport located about .5 from the put in. I know one [...] We went camping last Friday-Saturday at Soft Maple and returned on Saturday evening. There are several attractions at Soft Maple. One is the large sand hill which the boys climb, and then roll down. Needless to say the end result is a lot of accumulated sand on the participants which then requires cleaning. There is a small [...] |
