Dreams at Sucker Brook Vol. 37, No. 1 JANUARY - MARCH, 2004 DREAMS AT SUCKER BROOK I'm dreaming about a bear trying to get at our food in the nylon sack overhanging the stream. His claws sing out as they cut through the air trying to sever the nylon line. The airy, shrill sound of his swinging paw intensifies. Suddenly, I wake up. It's pitch black and dead quiet. My son's hand is on my shoulder. He tells me there was a terrible screeching noise just outside the tent. Although I heard the same sound in my dream, or the sound started my dream, my mind interpreted it as my worst fear. I think we may have heard the cry of a Saw-whet Owl, a little guy with a big voice. I remember my good friend, Bud, who knows everything about birds of prey, telling me about the Saw-whet. In addition to a tooting mating sound, the characteristic call of the Saw-whet has been compared to the sound of a metal saw being sharpened on a whet stone, hence the name. But it was not as scary as a big black bear sniffing around our tent and swiping at our food. That happened to us for real about twenty years ago in the high peaks region of the Adirondacks when my son was fourteen. We had set up camp in a place well known for its bears. Bad decision! We went to sleep to the sounds of banging pots and pans and the screams from other campers as they attempted to discourage the marauders. It was almost humorous. I awoke with a start at about 4 o'clock in the morning, the moon faintly illuminating our wooded site. A giant shadow rose up in front of the tent blocking the light. Then four claws proceeded to shred the bark on the tree nearest the tent as a black bear cut the line supporting the food sack between two trees. Heart pounding, I found and switched on a flashlight, turned it on the culprit and screamed invectives. My son awoke and joined me in my tirade against the creature that could waste three days of our trip by sending us back to a grocery store. Miraculously, the bear spooked. He crashed backwards down the tree and charged off never to be seen again that night. Morning came, and the accounting: seven food sacks missing, three remaining. One of those, fortunately, was ours. That morning, some of the campers went from tent to tent begging for food. How quickly we learn. My son's mood that day was a little subdued and as night descended and we set up camp far from those screaming guys with the pots and pans, he kept nervously looking around without saying anything. How to relieve my son's anxiety? I decided on a half- truth, telling him that bears hate the smell of human urine. My son now had the power to cast out his demons. Twenty years later, here we are, camping off the Sucker Brook Trail on a small tributary stream feeding the larger Sucker Brook in the Indian Lake region of the Adirondack Park. In the morning we climb to the notch above to bushwhack through tangled woods to one of the local trailess summits. Since we finished climbing the hundred highest peaks in New England we've been working on the hundred highest peaks in New York. After the notch, we come on a clearing, and an unexpected sound. A large buck in the middle of the clearing snorts at our approach. I pick up a twig and toss it at him. Cont'd on Page 3 2 THE CATSKILL CANISTER PRESIDENTS CORNER With the separation of Aspirant/Subscription tasks from the Membership President Wanda Davenport responsibilities, an updating of the Bylaws is necessary. Additionally, the 169 Pershing Avenue Winter Weekend Chair would be part of the Executive Committee. Ridgewood, NJ Section One of Article IX would then read as follows: (201) 670-8383 Section 1.

Board Position Open 3 Just a reminder that email/telephone number information for all Hike Schedule 4 Executive Committee members was listed in the Summer 2003 Poems 7-8 Bear Management 8 Canister. Please contact any of us with your concerns. New Members 8 Wanda Davenport (#523j He replies with another snort and an advance. = We slowly retreat and give the clearing a wide berth. When we return by the clearing the buck hears us coming and spooks. Now he's the one who retreats, breaking branches as he crashes through the woods. That night back at camp, we talk about our adventures and the wildlife we've encountered. In the gathering twilight we're treated to the sight of a Great Horned Owl silently gliding down through the trees. It lands on a boulder in the middle of the stream and stays there about twenty seconds. Sensing our presence, it lifts effortlessly and disappears downstream. The evening creeps in and leaves us with only the small circle of light from our candle lantern and the sound of the stream. The guys with the pots and pans are not welcome tonight. The peace is sublime. Tomorrow, we will pack our gear and trudge back to the car for the long ride home, leaving the sounds and dreams of Sucker Brook behind us.

I’m preparing for craft fairs, cooking, dressing the dogs in blaze orange finery, and anticipating the dreaded holiday family get-togethers. We’ve all been there, sitting around the table with Aunt Gertie and Uncle Jasper, and someone asks you about Your Hiking Thing. After all the requisite jokes about the Bataan Death March and how the only hiking Cousin Fred is doing this year is to the fridge and back to the couch… someone asks you the why question. Why do you do it? Why a list? Why in the winter? And especially why if there is no view at the top? I have said it before: the Catskill Forest Preserve is my temple and my gym. The oft repeated John Burroughs quote rings true for me: I too go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.

  • 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.

    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.
