Hmmm...I hear thundering hiking boots off in the distance heading toward the Adirondacks. We need boxes there desperately. It's calling. It's begging. Is anyone out there a member of the Adirondack Mountain Club? I know it is a very active group with various environmental, recreational and political agendas. Maybe we need to hook up with them in some way and get the word out? For those of us in New England, even though we have lots of places to hide and find, the possibilities in the Dacks are mind-boggling. What say you all?

Stay tuned...I think the ball is now rolling toward a NY gathering.

An upstate NY gathering????  YES!!!!!  I'll throw my vote to the

just a little too far away from me!  This one I'd actually be able to make
it to!
