  1. For anyone not familiar with Santanoni and how the state acquired it, there is a large great camp on the property that the former owners essentially abandoned after a young child became lost in the woods and was never found.

    It’s not too much of a stretch to think this could happen again with the current state of trails here. There are clear markers at trail junctions to interesting spots but 20 yards beyond the intersections the trail all but disappears into very dense forest.

  2. Did a quick overnight trip to Fish Rock at the Santanoni preserve in the #Adirondacks. It’s been 20 years since I was last here. Still magnificent but unfortunately the trail crew has not visited in decades either.

    DEC should either maintain the trail or remove the signs. Should anyone lacking in navigation skills try this trail they are likely to end up very lost in very dense woods.

    *there is boat access to the site so likely they simply don’t care about the trail(s) Yes, budgets too.

  8. @dcz Similar setup in summer conditions (very warm actually, so water was the heaviest thing, food next) for an overnight wilderness trip. No frame bag but still needed 40L to fit everything for my dog and I. Bike was fairly light minus the water. I'd guess 7kg total gear with food and water.

  9. This is an autumn setup. Lowest temps we saw this trip were -10C but daytime highs were around 10C so fairly cool. Definitely packed light actually for 3 days in the wilderness for two. But that's probably 10kg (I never weight it, I don't really care and stressing over it won't make it lighter).

  12. Last turtle healed enough to go home wandered back down to his brook today. I wish that meant I was done for the year but I have a few who weren't ready and had three intakes in the past week who will need to spend the winter with me. It's been an emotionally challenging season with too many losses. But watching a turtle who was hit by a car a few months ago swim away to keep living his life makes the rough stuff worth it.
