campingandhiking

I know this isn't directly related to camping/hiking. But my mother was an avid camper/hiker. Recently moved to Albany, New York. She's been missing since Monday, April 16th near Schroon Lake near the Adarondak Mountains. If anyone lives near there or is familiar with the area can you answer some questions/maybe help me put flyers around there. I'm willing to do anything I can.

Contact all official authorities first and get that ball rolling.

Next, go to Facebook at search up that areas local Overlanding group and SAR group (they almost always share the same people)

Provide all info and context available, they will have eyes on remote spots every day and especially the weekend.

I hope for the best in this situation, try and remember to breathe and stay as calm as you can, a good head on your shoulders will be your best friend and tool for a while.

I'm not tech savvy. I'm not sure how to update this, but she was found this am guys. Not good news. But we have closure. Thank you all so much. Thank you so much.

I hate it too. Because I'm not there.

Me to throw it out

I hate your picture

I took this on my way up to Everest Base Camp, arrived at the village of Dingboche just in time for sunset and a cup of lemon honey tea. edit: oh and the mountain in the picture is Lhotse the fourth highest mountain in the world at 8,516 meters (27,940 ft), after Mount Everest, K2, and Kangchenjunga.

I love this shot. And I love how properly massive it makes those mountains look.

I just got evacuated from there. Recovering in Kathmandu from HAPE. Devastated that I couldn't finish the trek but coming back next year.

I'm glad you're ok, I met a guy who ended up dying in his sleep from altitude sickness because he didn't listen to his body.

I read the title, glanced at the picture briefly and thought “so did he bring and old chemo drip to send a picture to his old nurses or something” till I realised it was a water bag.

Lol nope just a gravity filter

Congrats man! August will be my year anniversary of being cancer free!

How do you like it? I just got the 4L platypus and haven't used it yet. Taking it out for a "gear check" overnight at the local state park this weekend.

That’s awesome! I love the pups rig!

Yeah, he only ever high steps when we get started, like 10 steps and then he falls into stride. We don’t always use boots, only on particular rocky routes, tour a foot pad once and had to cut up a shirt to make a foot pad. Ever since we boot him for rocky routes!

I should put shoes on my dog so I can watch him high-step all the way to the top of the mountain. ;)

It’s a sleeping bag. He has a sleeping pad also but I usually carry it for him.

He is very short haired and gets cold easily. Also too large to fit in my sleeping bag.

Wind gusts across the frozen lake were in excess of 50 MPH that day. Her tears froze on her face as she cried!

Thank you very much! It was incredibly relieving when it was done- carrying an expensive ring through post hole territory was incredibly concerning!

Congratulations!

Congratulations!!! What an incredibly romantic proposal. Your fiancee is a very very lucky person.

The weed money wallet is a nice touch

Yeah, nothing says discreet like a wallet labeled Weed Money.

A picture showing your gear after the trek would be an awesome follow up post.

Just remember, National Forest land is under federal law, not state. I know too many snowboarders that have been popped by rangers.

Wow gorgeous. You captured the colors well

I want to go to there

Thank you! I didn't realize there would be fall colours here already.

Flip side of the earth, they are heading into Winter. Fall just started, but Paragonia is far enough south to be an early fall. not unlike Canada in the northern hemisphere...

Canyonlands, Olympic, and Zion were definitely our favorites! More hiking and cool places to find. Yosemite and Grand Canyon were our least favorites, too touristy.

favs and least favs?

Shame to hear about Yosemite and Grand Canyon being the least favourite because of crowds. The way Zion is going no doubt that would become part of that list. I would imagine if you could remove the crowds surely they would then become a favourite?

Grand Canyon North Rim is a bit more remote but only gets ten percent of total visitors to Grand Canyon National Park and I definitely recommend it as an alternate to the the main South Rim.
