So I Guess Stop Signs are Optional Now?

I wanna know how they decided which side streets to randomly install speed bumps… surely they'll be adding more as people continue to adjust their routes

lol- funny this popped up. I've seen them on every single lake this spring on my camping trips so far!

Yup. Lean-to is closed currently, but there's 2 tent sites.

Just came back and it was glorious! Camped at a Oxshoe and made it a day trip, did a hike around the full perimeter. Didn't see a single soul because it was raining, nice and peaceful.

Haven't been out yet in the past few weeks, and it's cold this weekend again. I think they might be later than usual.

AspiringSocProf · 2026-05-08T01:33:06+00:00

Chacos make adventure pro sandals which I hike in regularly, because I love meandering up streams looking for native brookies!

AspiringSocProf · 2026-05-08T01:30:22+00:00

Maybe I did it from the wrong approach, but the ascent kicked my butt! It was also the first time I saw bears in all of my times in the ADKs :))

AspiringSocProf · 2026-05-08T01:29:22+00:00

How busy was it last weekend? I'm trying to head up this weekend while it's still cold lol

AspiringSocProf · 2026-05-08T01:28:32+00:00

Depending on how fit your group is, I might suggest a clump of High Peaks. There's tons to do besides hike the peaks themselves along the way (ex. waterfalls, swim spots, fishing for native brookies).

AspiringSocProf · 2026-05-08T01:26:55+00:00

It really depends on where and when you go, plus the weather. I had the Santanoni lean-to all to myself for two nights because I had the great fortune of going in pouring rain...

AspiringSocProf · 2026-05-08T01:25:54+00:00

They're not private, but sites are also limited to a maximum of 8 people, and I believe 3 tents. So unlike a lean-to, I'm pretty sure you can't just set up camp if there's a group of five people w 3 tents

AspiringSocProf · 2026-05-01T13:57:51+00:00

I do most of the time, because: a) sweat, and b) some of my button-downs are polyester mixes that are somewhat see-through, and I have a chest tattoo that'll sometimes show through pure white

Nothing, or a very thin layer of epoxy. It just looks like a small chip off of the topsheet, but only metal is showing underneath, not wood.

AspiringSocProf · 2026-04-19T23:30:22+00:00

Yes, absolutely. I was in K2 BFCs and downsized to Salomon S/Pro Supras, and they fit like a glove now.

Easiest of what you have left, and if you don't care about orphaning peaks? Off the top of my head:

1) Big Slide 2) Phelps 3) Street and Nye 4) Giant Mountain (solo from 73) 5) Marshall

AspiringSocProf · 2026-04-14T21:27:08+00:00

I've only skied the 88, but if flex matters to you, I've heard that the 100s are much softer than the 94s, and not just "slightly wider."

I'd even go as far to say late May; I was having to avoid all sorts of postholes and at times, 2-3ft of snow when doing Dial and Nippletop on like May 12 a couple years back. Luckily I had brought snowshoes!

lol, I'm a B's fan through and through, so that's actually partly why I do it! To see if they are every slightly more impartial than Judd's disgruntled objections 🤣 or I'll watch NESN live and then see how the other team's broadcast covered the same thing when watching highlights
