Jackieboy,
What winch do you have? I have a little 2816 hst, and would like a winch. How does it work for you. Did you check out uniforest, their near you. Also, I'd love to walk across the anirondacks. An old trapper lived in Remsen used to come up this way, eventually becoming good friends with the parents. We spread some of his ashes up in the mountains here. So I've always heard of the anirondacks and the old trappers. In a straight line, how far across would it be to where there are no roads etc? I think the only thing would stop me would be the tick situation. I hear you have lots of deer ticks and lyme. Is that true?
