I am a firefighter for 28 years. Have always liked to be outside, live in central N.Y. I am 54 and have just got back to backpacking this year. I climbed Marcy in 1978 and 1981 and have camped at eighth lake in 2001, sorry to say I have not been back since but hope to, when?Right now my dog and I dayhike and backpack in my area. The Fingerlakes National Forest has been my "home" turf for wandering as of late. Stumbled upon this forum just a couple of days ago.

Welcome to the forum.
I stumbled upon the FLNF a few years back. I often wander around there myself."There's a whisper on the night-wind, there's a star agleam to guide us, And the Wild is calling, calling . . . let us go." -from "The Call of the Wild" by Robert Service

I haven't been the FLNF in winter, do you recommend it? I was worried most about road access."There's a whisper on the night-wind, there's a star agleam to guide us, And the Wild is calling, calling . . . let us go." -from "The Call of the Wild" by Robert Service

I am planning two trips to FLNF this week, wed. and fri..Gun season begins sat. so reluctantly me and my dog(with white fur) are staying away until Dec.10- after that I will be going all winter. I am hoping to do my first Dec. camping around 15-17, thinking about staying at the shelter, some trees were cut down there and a nice supply of firewood is available.
