Well another hike is in the record books. The weather was great, the beer was cold, and our feet were sore. Seven rangers braved the expedition this year and earned badges I didn’t even know existed. We feasted on “tube steaks” at the ancient fire ring! Explored the cave and crawled all over Stay Away in search of new ways to attack it in the fall. Then we enjoyed beers in the sun while gazing upon Buck Mountain in the distance. We covered all that and still made it out before having to get the headlamps out!
As always, pictures coming soon…..! 🙂
SPRING HIKE SCHEDULED!
THIS weekend! April 30…..
Where will we go? What will we do? I heard rumors of a mountain?……Maybe a cave recon too? A new access path to Too Far Ridge?
Spring Hike 2011 – Will it get canceled?
As the rain continues and a unsettled week ahead, will F-Troop hold the annual spring outing? All we can do is hope for good news from Den MaMa’s email update, once he sends it! 🙂
NYS Orthoimagery Application
Here is a link to NYS Orthos Online Aerial Imagery for your viewing pleasure. Start studying now Dan! Detail is pretty good when zoomed in, I can see my trailer, the Humphrey House, dump trucks, and the hunting camp.
One thing you don’t see is all the snow that is still on the ground! If you want to get an idea of that check this out “What a difference a year makes!”, posted by the same guy who runs www.ilsnow.com. He is right about the NOAA link, I lost half an hour just like that playing around with all the options and I have no idea what most of them even mean. 🙂
So where are we gonna try to “Troop” this Spring/Summer?
Even Cabela’s has an app now!
Check it out here: Cabela’s RECON HUNT for iPhone
Description
“Cabela’s Recon Hunt is the first mobile navigation app built solely for hunters. With Recon Hunt, you can find hunting spots on detailed maps, track wildlife, take trophy photos and backtrack home. Recon Hunt also tracks other essentials as well: weather forecasts, sun and moon phases, trip stats and ballistics information. Our power saver technology monitors how you use the app in order to preserve battery power. Plus, Recon Hunt works in remote places without the need of data and cellular signals.”
You will need a newer iPhone, iPad, or compatiable android handset to use this app. Believe it or not, I don’t have any of those devices. Yet. When I do acquire said device, this will be one of the first apps I download.
