  • R Canister Before
    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.
