yes, sir but i haven't seen one specifically on this area. from your videos, now i know they thrive in our cold climate so i'm on the lookout for them...i saw this beautiful one last fall up in the ramapo mountains:
thanks! i've never been anywhere else (save for california) so i can't imagine not having hills.
thanks!
indeed...thanks, bean!
yeah, those are more like woods mansions...lots of work definitely went into making those.
thanks!
thanks! i wish we had more snow though.
thanks!

My daughter has been trying to entice me with pictures to come live with them in Idaho. My constant thought is... Where are all the trees and why is everything frozen?

Sweet pictures! I like your pack, how do you like it? I have the Osprey Kestrel 68 in the same color combination, and I love it.

Awesome pics Jay! That looks like a beautiful area. I wish we had those shelters at this end of the AT, One day I should just keep walking north instead of turning around to go back home Really cool luck spotting the dear and getting the shots. Dude, any time you don't take the SLR you're going to regret it, just deal with it and let it go because sometimes you just need to enjoy the hike. It's so drab and grey here that a lot of the time in the winter I don't take a camera at all because I need a break from it. All growing season long though, between articles and website work, I'm going to be packing the weight of a DSLR and lenses, and sometimes two DSLRs (long hike in and don't want to risk missing the shots) plus gear, so I am enjoying the break while I can

thanks, brian! indeed, sometimes i really should just leave the camera behind and just go hike.
i'm surprised that several people mentioned they don't have those shelters on the a.t., or in any part of their woods...the shelters i've been on have their donor's name in a stone plaque somewhere so i guess it takes quite a bit of money to get the resources/man power to get one built.
