  1. I personally want to "do" death in the active and not the passive, and to be there to look it in the eye and be doing something when it comes for me.

  6. 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.

  7. 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. The awareness of the ambiguity of one's highest achievements (as well as one's deepest failures) is a definite symptom of maturity.
