  • Microsoft Word Good Tidings July October 2018 Website
    The Newsletter of the Hurricane Mountain Chapter of ADK Good Tidings July – October 2018 "Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves." John Muir (1838-1914) Good Tidings July – October 2018 hair Words CA message from Chapter Chair, Christine Barnes COMMUNICATIONS! I would like to clarify how ADK communicates with you. First: The ADK Headquarters in Lake George has your snail mail address and the phone number (that you gave them when you joined) and if you chose to register your e-mail address with them, they have that too. You would then get periodic emails from them about activities, appeals or issues. This is only updated when you tell them to do so. Hurricane cannot change your information for you. Second: Hurricane Chapter gets our ‘snail mail’ mailing labels from ADK. So if your membership lapses, don’t expect to get anything in your snail mail from Hurricane or ADK – except maybe an appeal to re-join. (Please avoid this situation) Third: Hurricane has a ‘newsletter e-mail’ list which Leslie Shipps (our hero!) maintains. This is to get your newsletter electronically – and print it yourself. She adds your name to the list if you send her an e-mail at . [email protected] If you haven’t already done this – please do so unless you really cannot get email. Eventually, we will only send out electronic copies, unless there are special circumstances.

  • Recommended Hikes Outside the Adirondack High Peaks
    RECOMMENDED HIKES OUTSIDE THE ADIRONDACK HIGH PEAKS Trails in the eastern High Peaks, to the Dix Mountains, and to Giant Mountain are often crowded, ruining the Adirondack wilderness experience. The trails below provide quality hiking and great scenic views, much like the High Peaks, but without the crowds! High and Rugged (All coordinates are in decimal degrees using NAD83/WGS84 datum.) Rocky Peak Ridge:* East Trail in Giant Mountain Wilderness extends 6.7 miles and ascends 3,600 feet from the trailhead on Route 9N to the 4,420-foot summit of Rocky Peak Ridge and its 360 degree view. Much of the trail is along an open rocky ridge with constant views of the mountains, forests and waters to the north, east and southeast. Stop and enjoy the magnificent surrounding scenery at several renowned points along the way, including Blueberry Cobbles, at the 1.9 mile mark; Bald Mountain at the 3.9 mile mark; and the remote and picturesque Marie Louis Pond at the 6.1 mile mark. The summit provides views of the Sentinel Range, Hurricane Mountain, Lake Champlain and the surrounding valley, the Green Mountains of Vermont, Dix Mountains, the Great Range, eastern High Peaks, and nearby Giant Mountain. (Trailhead Coordinates: 44.1499°N, 73.6268°W) Whiteface Mountain:* Whiteface Landing Trail in McKenzie Mountain Wilderness extends more than 6.0 miles and ascends 3,320 feet from the trailhead on State Route 86 to the 4,867-foot summit and its 360 degree views. The first 2.5 miles ascends a gradual 310 feet from the trailhead to Whiteface Landing, on the shore of scenic Lake Placid.

Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves." John Muir (1838-1914) hair Words CA message from Chapter Chair, Christine Barnes Here comes summer!!! Here’s what we are doing to get ready! A TEST WEBSITE for our chapter! This website will allow us to not only keep chapter information and newsletters in an easily reachable place but it will also allow us to update and add information in a timely manner. At this point it is not a professional site and we do expect to improve it over time, but please take a minute to look at https://sites.google.com/site/adkhurricanechapter/home Those of us who live, visit or play in the Adirondacks know how the weather can impact our outdoor plans and sometimes we need to adjust – or capitalize on weather opportunities. By having our outing information on an easily accessible website that can be updated as needed, we can add, cancel or modify our outing plans and offer the best outings for our members. I have spoken with several other chapters and they use a similar approach to managing a website and they have been very helpful as we get our first site up and limping along! We really appreciate their help. OUTING PLANNING I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the team who got together to develop a strategy for our summer outings.

  • Membership Update
    The Newsletter of the Hurricane Mountain Chapter of ADK Good Tidings July – October 2016 "Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves." John Muir (1838-1914) hair Words C A message from Chapter Chair, Mary Jean Bland There are many people that contribute to the Chapter, the preservation of the Adirondacks we all love and the community around them, yet somehow stay behind the scene and often go unnoticed. I would like to take some time here to recognize a few of those special people. People I owe a special thank you to for their help, support and encouragement. Monique Weston for one has a heart bigger than the Adirondacks itself. She begs and twists arms to ensure we have warm, welcoming homes and hosts for our potlucks. She is always aware and involved in ensuring our environment is watched over and protected. She is there to protect individual’s rights and support social causes. And she is always willing to reach out and help anyone in need. She is truly a very special woman and someone who makes the world a better place. Along with Monique, I would like to recognize Nancy and Bob Kolhbecker. Here is a couple that has supported and worked for the Chapter for years. They are always willing to volunteer no matter what the need. They also do more than their share of leading outings and have certainly provided some unique opportunities.
