September 3-6	Labor Day Weekend Backpacking/Camping - Update Join us for the last long weekend of the summer for some backpacking or camping in the High Peaks region and experience the wilderness, mountains and lakes of New York! The main goal here is to have as much fun as possible over the course of the three-day weekend! If you also enjoy backpacking, this trip would be just that. Swimming in mountain lakes? Hiking up 1 or 2 (or even three? can we do one each day?) 46er peaks? Giving up routine comforts for a few days to enjoy the wilderness? SOUND FUN? The plan now is to do a one-way through hike, with car shuttle, from the north Giant Mountain trailhead to the Elk Lake trailhead via Giant Mountain (4627') and Dix Mountain (4857'). Total miles are 24 over the three days (Saturday, Sunday, Monday). There are two lean-twos along the way in strategic places, abundant water and amazing views. Alternatively, if not enough peole are interested in backpacking, we can camp near the road and still do dayhikes up both Giant and Dix (Dix would be a long one). Or, there is an option to do just one night of backpacking, if weather becomes a concern. Parts of this 24 mile route could be challenging for beginners, but not too difficult to overcome if you bring enough enthusiasm. Other gear required would include a comfortable backpack large enough to fit a panda bear inside, summer-weight sleeping bag, thermarest, tent arrangements and two water bottles (full of enthusiasm??). We will leave friday afternoon, make the five-hour drive, and camp just before the traihead. We would emerge from the woods on Monday in time to get Bar-B-Que on the deck at the Noonmark diner and make it back to Rochester by 10pm. Those who are definitely going will meet on Monday, August 30th @ 7pm at the Old Toad to figure out final details. In the meanwhile, please contact Eric to say you're in, or just say that you think you may more fun ideas. Contact Eric Boxer at boxere@gmail.com.

September 23-26	Northville-Placid Trail Backpacking Trip Join us on September 23-26 as we explore approximately 30 miles of the Northville-Placid trail. The backpacking trip will explore the trail traveling north to south beginning at Wakely Dam traveling through what is thought to be the wildest part of the Adirondacks ending in Piseco. We will experience the beautiful Adirondacks crossing brooks, sighting beaver dams, catching glimpses of high cliffs and cascading waterfalls. We will lodge at designated camp sites or lean-to's where there are side adventures off the main trail for those interested. This is an advanced backpacking trip as we will hike approximately 10miles per day which will include steep grades and pitches. We will begin our trip Thursday late morning, tenting the night at Wakely Dam and hitting the trail after a camp breakfast on Friday, hiking out on Sunday when we will head back home. If interested in this trip contact Sue Sciortino at (585) 709-6306 or Jim Luening at 585-387-0256 for information. The trip will be limited to 9 participants.
