After Irene, there are 22 New Reasons to Visit the Backcountry

The storm left some 22 new slides up in the mountains.  That means new vistas and changed trail routes. Both the East and West branches of the Ausable were badly flooded.  Stream beds, like Syles Brook, have eroded to expose previously unseen geologic history.

In the meantime, two of us, Dave Mason and Jim Herman, have been stiring up a new conversation about the ADK Park.  It is proving to be a very optimistic project.  Take a look at it here.

I will be working on this website a bit during the February-April time frame.  It would be a good time to send me ideas for changes.  I receive good statistics about what areas of the site are used, or not used.  I intend to cut back on the breadth of information and keep the well used parts more current.
