Welcome. This site is dedicated to some of my more exciting post-46-R hikes, especially those off trail via bushwhack or slides.

What's in a trail name...?

A "short" hike on August 14, 2004 gave life to "MudRat". WWBF and I took a 16 hour traverse over the high peaks of Seymour, Seward, Donaldson & Emmons...in the lull between the wet remnants of Tropical Storm Bonnie and the oncoming remnants of Hurricane Charley. I learned quickly that knee deep mud can be the rule rather than the exception and that Adirondack mud is composed of dirt, water and...epoxy.
