2021 Year in Review

Posted on December 30, 2021June 14, 2022 by Backcountry Fever

Posted on October 12, 2021June 14, 2022 by Backcountry Fever

This makes 21/50 for me and brings my season of State Highpoints to an end for the year.  12 states in 5 months has been one heck of a ride! Guadalupe is one of the easier ones, I think! …right up there with Humphreys, Mansfield and maybe even Marcy.  You climb a mere 2,800′ over…

Redemption in Kansas

Posted on September 24, 2021October 13, 2021 by Backcountry Fever

If you recall, we went for the Kansas state highpoint back on Memorial Day and didn’t make it. It was now time for redemption in Kansas with some unfinished business to tend to!   The highest point in Kansas is on a gentle slope… out in the middle of miles and miles of remote farmland….

New York’s tallest in the bag to wrap up my Northeast segment of state highpoints. That puts me at 18/50 and my first of the Adirondack 46ers. I also met a Summit Steward for the first time. Her name was Kia, who taught us about the sensitive vegetation at the top. Then instead of asking…

Connecticut’s Rain Forest

Posted on August 23, 2021September 29, 2021 by Backcountry Fever

Plans didn’t work out to do Wyoming’s tallest peak in August, so I went with plan B and did three good peaks back east with my brother-in-law.  First up was on the south slope of Mt. Frissell where Connecticut meets Massachusetts. Full trip report coming soon…
