The October Sessions rolls on for one more week here with some spooky stories experienced by a listener of the podcast at her camp in Inlet. Inlet lies in the western part of the Adirondack Park and many places out there are without electricity so when the sun goes down it becomes "Adirondack Dark in the Adirondack Park". Grab some popcorn, dim the lights, and enjoy the show!

In the most epic rematch of the century, I will finally return to battle my arch nemesis, Cliff Mountain.
The first time I climbed Cliff and Redfield I spontaneously added them to my day while standing atop of Mt Marcy and lets just say it made an already long day a really, really long day totaling 17 hours, roughly 8k' gain, and 26 miles. Due to that my feelings on the mud-pit known as Cliff Mountain that day, my opinion may be...

In this special solo-episode I unload all of my thoughts regarding the hiking challenges that make up the Adirondack hiking and outdoors culture. Are they a good thing? Are they a bad thing? As someone who runs one of these challenges I see a lot of the behind-the-scenes so in light of the potential changes regarding the Saranac Lake 6'er I felt it was a good time to share some insight.

Is there a better place to enjoy a summer vacation than the Adirondacks? I don't think there is. So instead of traveling for our vacation this summer we decided to pack up the kids and the car and venture all around the Blue Line and explore our own home here in the ADK in a whole new way. A classic "Staycation".
