Hiking alone up Mt. Marcy in NY’s Adirondacks High Peaks 35 years back. Dead of winter, 4 feet snow, tried to camp on narrow patch just off trail. Lost my nerve, hiked back to car, headed into Lake Placid, ordered a pizza and started 5 hour drive home. You’d think after almost 2 days on a mountain any pizza would be great? I ate a bite and tossed it out the window in horror. Coming from NJ we have some pretty great pizza. 
Man that must have been some bad pizza. I didn't know such a thing existed.Hiking alone up Mt. Marcy in NY’s Adirondacks High Peaks 35 years back.

Nice looking gun, was always told it was bad ju-ju to lay a gun on the bed though, just passing along old lore.

If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. Spent most of my life sleeping with a gun. It's a military thang

My wife often comes to bed, me asleep, and says “can you move that please?”

This is my rifle, this is my gun, my rifles for killing, my gun is for fun.
What in hell would make you want to be on Mt Marcy in the middle of winter! I'm 2 hours away from there, in NYS, and I've never wanted to go during the summer. Winter on that mountain is deadly.Hiking alone up Mt. Marcy in NY’s Adirondacks High Peaks 35 years back. Dead of winter, 4 feet snow, tried to camp on narrow patch just off trail.

Winter hiking and camping has its own rewards. I haven't hiked in the Adirondacks in the Winter, but I have hiked in the Blueridge Mountains and the Dolly Sods in West Virginia in the dead of Winter many times (long ago).
The solitude and quiet was wonderful. The naked trees punctuated by clusters of pines and Hemlocks here and there had its own stark beauty. Going from frigid night air into a down sleeping bag gave a sense of cozy security. Freeze dried food never tasted so good. I lost several pounds just from hiking up and down mountains and keeping warm.

Must have spent a lot of time in the rear with the gear.

It varied, was in for 28 years, and a branch jumper. Tank crewman, calvary scout, air mobile infantryman, gunners mate on a Knox class frigate, Sea Bee, Air Force weapons systems security specialist, and steamfitter in a Prime Beef squadron. I have wanderlust

West Virginia in the dead of winter is a whole different world from the top of My Marcy.
Good point.
A friend and I tried Winter snowshoeing near and below Mt. Evans (about 14,100 ft). We were at about 10,000 ft. Once, for one night, was enough. Never did it again.

Being 1st generation half Italian I learned to make my own pizza from my mom grandmother and aunts, all born in Calabria.Only fair, can't get good pizza in southeast Ohio
