Lalita had left her pocketbook with her medical cards in her car. (Always carry ID and medical cards with you in your backpack or in a little fanny pack, as I do.)

It seemed to take forever—do not go up 9D or 9 during rush hour— but apparently the ambulance went the same way, because we got to the parking lot just as the attendants were unloading the patient.

    r canister Vol. XXIV, No. 1 WINTER 1 9 9 1 SOUTHWEST HUNTER, WHERE ARE YOU? We know you're there because we've both been to your canister before. Rich helped put it up over two years ago, and I've been there and signed in twice. But when we try together to find your canister . Our first attempt was last spring. I promised to get Rich to the old logging railroad bed, and he promised to get me to the peak. It seemed fair enough. We hiked up the Spruceton Trail to Hunter. As we climbed, we encountered some snow, but it wasn't tough going. In fact, with the bright sun shining on the snow and the ice on the trees, it was still a winter wonderland. We stopped at Hunter for a quick lunch, then took the Hunter Mountain Trail to the Devil's Path and the rail bed. Dawn the bed we hiked until Rich indicated it was time to turn uphill. A piece of cake, we thought. On our climb, we found same footprints in the snow; someone else had reached the canister this way. But we knew better than to follow tracks. There was always the chance their owner was wrong. Well, to make a long story short, we floundered: through balsam, snow, back and forth, around. And no, we didn't find the canister. Not long after that attempt, there was a group hike to Southwest Hunter, and I went along. I carefully timed our trip down the railroad bed. I locked landmarks in my mind's eye as we turned and headed uphill.

  • Binghamton Outdoors!!! Newsletter of the Binghamton Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK)
    Binghamton Outdoors!!! Newsletter of the Binghamton Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK) Volume 9, Number 2 Spring 2017 A Message From Your Chapter Chair Not long ago we held a meeting at a restaurant on the Vestal Parkway to try to engage more club members, and frankly, to solicit the participation of new leadership. I was concerned about our future. I’m now happy to report an embarrassment of riches. No Chair People are resigning unless to take over previously unfilled spots. Lastly, and most excitedly, we have some completely new Chair People, most of which are new ADK members. I will start by introducing Bob Strebel. Bob, a long time ADK member, advocate, and volunteer, has taken on the important task of being our Director. He is our representative and our vote at ADK board meetings. Bob recently lead a presentation and discussion on the Boreas Ponds Classification. Carly Braman and Alexis Leonard have agreed to share Secretarial responsibilities. Thank you. We need the recording help. Because they are doing this, our current Secretary, Lindsey Leiser is able to become Outings Chair, which in turn frees up Pat Connors to take over as Vice-Chair now, and Chapter Chair next year. Aubrey Nawrocki and Emma Baudendistel immediately took on the project of forming a Facebook page. It looks great. Please take a look at Adirondack Mountain Club – Binghamton. Take a look and participate – it is great way for us to become a strong community. Aubrey and Emma will also take over the newsletter next year. This frees up Ken Jackson to become the Conservation Chair.
