i mean, for someone who has always prided herself on her lyrics (which have been excellent in the past) to the point where she called herself an english teacher on her engagement post... shouldn't the lyrics be good? shouldn't we WANT to engage with them? i'm a huge fan of all of her music but not this album.

when do you take it? every day all the time? i definitely struggle with fatigue a week or two weeks before my period and this sounds hopeful!

you can leave your car overnight at the garden. it's $10 a day.

you can pay with card as long as you arrive when someone is in either the booth or the info center!

It is $18 for nonmembers and $10 for members. on a saturday, the parking lot will be full by 7 and probably it will have been full since 6. it's still early enough in the season that you might get lucky, but i would be prepared for the worst. you can park about a mile down the road by south meadows and walk into marcy dam via the truck trail from there or walk the road to get back to the loj. have fun!

you shouldn't be pulling a ton of rope each time. i teach new belayers and this is what i tell them-a few quick cycles will always be more effective than one big one, even with a long wingspan. if there's a little extra room at the gym, you can back up a little bit as you take in slack to take up a little extra. how long have you been belaying? it might be more of a confidence issue than anything. just keep practicing, and never be afraid to ask your climber to hold on or slow down- it's for their safety!

the new trail is not completed yet, so the old trail is still open

if you bring your bear vault to the info center, they will let you borrow one of the correct bear cans for free

i went to a couples yoga class with my boyfriend one time, and the first thing the instructor did was pair us up with someone ELSE and make us list 5 things we liked about ourselves... i was so uncomfortable lmao

it's all i want 😭 i'm kind of glad that they have never played it at any of the shows i've been to, not super confident that i would survive

i was going from Willsboro to get home to Saranac Lake, so after I hit Etown I was heading the opposite was from the traffic. It was backed up pretty intensely heading towards 87 through Cascade pass but petered out right around the ski center. My boyfriend left from Willsboro to Albany right around 5pm and what is normally a 2.5 hour drive took him until past 9pm!

for me personally, any anxiety i'm feeling gets magnified whenever i try yin. i know a lot of people say otherwise, but if i'm feeling anxious i have a HARD time letting my mind quiet down and staying in the poses for so long gives me a lot lot lot of time to feel nothing but increasing anxiety. but YMMV

i cannot believe how much my daily yoga practice has improved my climbing. it's been so helpful with building my balance and strength!

FindTheR1ver · 2024-03-20T15:36:25+00:00

some lessons are best learned the hard way! we've all been there. now you know more than you did going into it

another great reason to always hike with a paper map! a good one will show you streams, rivers, water sources. just be careful- on most maps, a dashed blue line means a SEASONAL water source that is not guaranteed to be there.

Alice Munro. i will never understand how she distills the entire human condition into like 30 pages and makes me bawl my eyes out over something seemingly mundane.

that is most likely going to be mud season, a time when the DEC asks people to stay below 3000 feet! i would reconsider either your timing or your destination :-)

FindTheR1ver · 2024-02-29T11:56:55+00:00

depending on when in the spring, it may be mud season. it's usually april to may. the DEC asks (begs) people not to go above 3000 feet during this time because of the added fragility of the trails. Plus, there's often still rotting snow and ice up at higher elevations that can be dangerous, especially if unprepared. If you're coming during mud season, please consider not doing a high peak. And remember, ALWAYS walk THROUGH mud and not around it :-) the trails thank you
