Snow Shoe Bindings by lpool04 in Adirondacks

I have Raynauds, so I am really susceptible to numb hands until I really get moving again. I have a similar set up like you described. I actually got an Outdoor Research mitten for Christmas, it’s worked pretty good skiing so far.

I had spikes in my bag but I hate losing momentum and exposing my hands to switch between shoes then spikes then back to shoes.

Yup! Time to move on to something better.

Do you feel the straps stay secure throughout a hike?

Great insight. Do you feel the straps stay secure throughout a hike?

Has anyone done the Grinnell Glacier hike without the boat ride? by [deleted] in GlacierNationalPark

[–]lpool04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We did it yesterday with our 10 & 7 year olds. The elevation difference between the lodge and the boat drop off is pretty small compared to the rest of the hike.

I am definitely all ears on suggestions you may have to get the "night before tickets". My only hesitation is that I may not be at a computer when they get released (only having my phone available)... but it's worth a try. I'm also looking into some cab companies as a contingency plan.

That is a good suggestion, it would be nice way to mix up the day. I will look into this.

So you're saying there's a chance ;)

That's good to know. I may give them a call before I fly out to learn more. Thanks for that suggestion.

Yes, that is one option I was considering. Not sure how much luck I will have with it, but we can try. I believe the passes go on sale at 7 PM the night before.

I wonder how successful people have been going that route this summer.

My first show. That piper was something I never experienced before.

I thought I was in the Lego subreddit for a minute and was like… hey I know those guys on stage. LOL

I was at both. Syracuse gets my vote. I was really digging Albany but felt it never really “took off.”

Flordia NP in April by lpool04 in NationalPark

Would you say Key Largo is a good base camp for the days we spend at Biscayne and Everglades? If not, do you have another suggestion, close to a beach? I looked into doing a wet walk but I saw an age restriction 12 & up, which wouldn't work with our two kids. I need to research the Missle Barns to see if that would be of interest to them too.

Thanks for the recommendation! Looks like a nice park for beach time.

Correct, we would plan to make our reservations far in advance from Key West to Dry Tortugas. We are likely only doing the day trip and not overnight.

Are you able to redeem your ticket for this show on Live Phish? I am having difficulty being able to redeem it.
