Harvey Road writes a blog focused on skiing in the Adirondacks and activities surrounding North River, NY.
I just found a post at Harvey Roadthat was written from a past journal entry. It describes a 3 day- 2 night winter solo camping trip taken in the 13th Lake, Garnet Hill, Puffer Pond, Twin Ponds area.
While I don’t endorse solo winter camping I certainly appreciate the motivation that results when a colleague bails on a planned trip. Plus he had a new solo tent that just HAD to be used. I have been there!
It is an interesting read with some familiar nice pictures interspersed.
Not sure if I have posted a comment on this entry before. If so, my apologies.
I’d like to hear more about the pros and cons of solo winter camping from others. Obviously the risks are an obvious con. But IMO few great experiences come without risk.
Even years later, I consider this one of the great experiences of my lifetime.
Great stuff. I reallyvwish it wasnt 94 degrees in Denver, im ready for some snow.
Thanks for sharing your story
Winter is coming. We will have a chance for some nice 3 season camping for a while. Thanks for reading.
