The Dix Range


This autumnal grand-daddy of all hikes led us to the serene and beckoning  summits of Macomb, South Dix, East Dix, back to South Dix, then to Hough and Pough, over the Beckhorn, to Dix, back to the Beckhorn, then straight down the SW ridge of Dix and Beckhorn.  We camped at Slide Brook then ascended via the land slide of Macomb Mountain with its beautiful view of Elk Lake.  Each mountain has its own beckoning gleam of silver track slides.  Bear Grylls would be proud.

Some Pictures from A Recent Hike

I recently went camping up in the Adirondacks and encountered two friendly women with more tatoos than Justin Bieber.  They were going to attempt almost the same hike I had done a few days earlier and were of very muscular estate. Here are some of the pics.
