| 2008-09-30 | Jared | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you for the quick response! The number you gave me was priceless, I was transferred over to the police station and they told me that overnight parking is actually fine at Silvermine lake. We are planning on going to the william-brier area I believe. I will be the one carrying up a whole giganto jug of water (where most of the weight is coming from), so I may be really pushing myself and taking more then one trip up and down on Friday. I am in fairly good shape, so I should be ok. Thank you again! |
Answers by Expert:
Wounded Knee
Expertise
I can advise on anything having to do with hiking and backpacking skills and equipment, including map and compass and orienteering skills. I cannot advise on the use of GPS devices. I cannot advise on car camping or group camping (10 or more people). My primary geographic expertise is in the US Northeast, but I know how to find information on hiking and backpacking just about anywhere.
Experience
I've been hiking and backpacking for about 40 years, including ongoing section hiking of the Appalachian Trail (almost 1300 miles so far). I have hiked extensively in the New York Metropolitan Area, as well as various other areas from Virginia north, including upstate New York, New England, and Eastern Canada.
