RAPID RIVER TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — Authorities say two people from suburban Detroit are dead after a car ran a stop sign and collided with a semi-truck in Michigan's northwestern Lower Peninsula.
The Traverse City Record-Eagle reports the crash happened Monday at an intersection along U.S. Highway 131 in Kalkaska County's Rapid River Township. The sheriff's department says the semi driver lost control after the crash and collided with a minivan.
The newspaper says the 20-year-old man who was driving the car and a 47-year-old woman who was among the car's passengers died in the crash. Both are from the Detroit suburb of Livonia. Authorities say a 19-year-old man from Livonia was in critical condition.
Two people in the van and the truck's driver also were injured. Names of those involved weren't immediately released.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12, 2006 – Different parts of Iraq have different security environments, and that is important to recognize as Americans assess stories coming out of the country, Pentagon officials said today. Recent stories about the insurgency in Anbar province paint a very bleak picture of the security situation in western Iraq.
The stories reference a classified Marine assessment of the state of the insurgency in the province. The 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, out of Camp Pendleton, Calif., commands the Multinational Force West, headquartered at Camp Fallujah. In a written response to the articles, Marine Major General Richard Zilmer, commander of Multinational Force West, said the reports "fail to accurately capture the entirety and complexity of the current situation."
"The classified assessment, which has been referred to in these reports, was intended to focus on the causes of the insurgency," he said. "It was not intended to address the positive effects coalition and Iraqi forces have achieved on the security environment over the past years." Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman called the security situation in Iraq uneven. "There are places where it is relative stability, where the military and police working side by side have created conditions that are stable," he said. "There are some places in Iraq that are much more of a challenge."
Security is just one part of the equation, Whitman said. Governance, economic conditions, infrastructure reconstruction and the political situation are important factors in Iraq's progress. "All these factors are interrelated to create an environment in which Iraqis feel they have hope and look towards a brighter future," he said.
Anbar province, a Sunni-dominated area that runs just east of Fallujah to the Jordanian and Syrian borders, is Iraq's largest in terms of size but is sparsely populated.
Building up the Iraqi security forces in the province has not worked as well as it has in other parts of Iraq, Marine officials said. This is because the province is so dominated by Sunnis, and tribal leaders wield real power in many areas of the province.
Similarly, building a provincial government also has been tough in the region. "The Iraqi government is working very hard to improve not only the national government, but to make local governments strong and able to meet the needs of the population," Whitman said.
Zilmer said much security progress has been made in Anbar province, but "for lasting progress to take place, comparably effective advances must be made in the development of governmental and economic institutions at the local, provincial and national levels.
"Only then," he said, "will the people of Anbar be able to realize their goal of long-term security, prosperity and confidence in their government."

One Life To Live
Monday, July 8th, 2013
Dorian rants about David, Arturo asks for Dani's help, and Nora worries about Viki.
At the station, Nora and Bo talk about Viki's troubles and how Dorian called Nora, claiming Viki did something shady. Nora worries if Dorian's right, she can't, as the DA, ignore the crime. Bo advises Nora to stay out of it then agrees to call Clint to see what he can find out. Later, Bruce brings in the older man who was last seen with Brianna. The man admits he and Brianna went on a date. He didn't see her do any drugs, didn't have sex with her and dropped her off at The Palace. Bo's suspicious and vows to come after him if his alibi doesn't check out. As the man leaves, Bo never sees the strange symbol tattooed on the inside of his forearm.
At the mansion, Dorian leaves a message for Frank then tells Blair Jack left really early. Blair's confused, as Jack's usually the last one up. She calls Jack, who insists he's at the coffeehouse when he's really in bed with Kate. After Blair hangs up, Dorian rants about David and that exotic floozy, Rama. Blair assures Dorian that Rama isn't a threat. Later, Nora arrives, and Dorian insists she open an investigation on Viki and her Pellegrino Fund involvement.
Jeffrey and Dani listen to Matthew talking to Michelle over the phone at their apartment. Dani takes a call from Arturo. He's going through Brianna's things and asks for Dani's help. After she hangs up, Matthew hangs up too. Dani claims to be happy for him and Michelle then leaves. Jeffrey opens a letter and hears his rich mentor Carl Peterson is coming for a visit.
Clint tells Viki at Llanfair that Natalie forgave him. Can she? Viki isn't sure. Clint takes a call from Bo and assures him he and Viki did nothing wrong involving the Pellegrino Fund. Later, Nora arrives to privately warn Viki about Dorian's accusations. Viki relays that Clint's assured her that everything is legit. Once she leaves, Viki fills Clint in, who promises Viki's in the clear. If Viki finds out differently, she won't marry Clint.
Dani helps Arturo pack away Brianna's things in her suite at The Palace. She sees a beautiful scarf, and Arturo insists she keep it and compliments her. Dani refuses the gesture. He tries to pay for her help, but she refuses again. After he steps out, she remembers Arturo's words, "You're a beautiful girl, who deserves nice things." Housekeeping arrives, and Dani's stunned to see Michelle, who's supposed to be in Toronto. Michelle lied to Matthew, so he didn't find out she's a maid. Dani doesn't like how she lies to Matthew but agrees to stay quiet about her job.
Llanview spoilers for the next One Life To Live:
Blair finds out Kate and Jack are having coffee and demands to know who she is.
Cutter refuses to kiss and tell.
Michelle wants to tell Matthew the truth.
Dorian tells Viki Clint's betrayed her.
Rama and David dance.

I welcome all investors!
As I promised I've started publishing a series of articles which may help our readers realize the truth about the activity and nature of hyip programs.
It's very important to understand how these programs are really operating because with that information it would be much easier for you to create an effective investment strategy. It would be also much easier to analyze hyip signals which often determine when hyips may collapse.
The first article from this series is available under this link:
Now I would like to introduce two new programs which have recently been added to money-monitor. First of them is called BensonUnion. I have to admit that this program has impressed me. It is obvious and visible everywhere that the owners have put big effort into building and integration of their project. The program has a professional design additionally supplemented with video presentations and tutorials. Unique script solutions and meticulousness also deserve mentioning.
I was considering adding this program for a long time mainly because of their support which usually doesn't work. Their online chat is almost always offline and my support tickets are unanswered. In addition the administrators published information on TG forum that they have no Russian roots but this statement stand in contradiction to the information I've gained. I'm in possession of a screen of their Youtube channel which indicates exactly Russian description:
Of course this description was swiftly changed but the fact is that someone isn't telling the whole truth.
Despite these doubts it's hard to remain indifferent to this program and any investor should strongly consider adding it to his investment portfolio.
All investment plans are daily and the choice between them is large according to the rule: there's something for every taste. The least profitable plan is Ontario fund but the min. investment there is only $10. Erie fund plan offers already 1.4% daily and the min. of investment is $500. HuronFund offers 1.7% profit daily but you have to invest $5000. The next plan is called Michigan fund where we earn quite a lot – 2.1% daily but this plan is quite expensive, because the min. of deposit is here $25,000. The last plan called Superior Fund offers 2.45% and the minimum is $50,000.
All the plans last for 170 days and the profit is calculated in business days. All plans have also compounding available and you may withdraw your deposit anytime with 25% fee.
All withdrawals are processed instantly. They accept LR, PM and wire payments.
The second of today's propositions is a program of autosurf type – 35three. Autosurfs are similar to hyips and once in the past this type of programs was very popular. Here we have two types of accounts: free and upgraded.
A free account is active after a successful registration and by watching website ads you earn some credits which you can use to advertise your own pages. You can also upgrade your account so that except earning credits you can also earn money for viewing ads. As an upgraded member you can earn 2% daily or 35% daily for 3 days. You have to remember to surf pages daily to make a profit.
You may deposit here via LR and PM.
FxPulse has aded a special calculator through which we can calculate the profits from our deposits. The link can be found under the investment plans.
In the 'video tutorials' section there are available new videos, showing how to open an account, how to manage it and make a deposit.
The layout of Enzex Finance website was reconstructed. It is supposed to be clearer and easier to navigate now. These changes are mostly cosmetic and do not affect the functionality of the program.
Royalty7 informs us that they have started accepting bank transfers with no receiving fees. There is also a possibility to order e-currencies directly from the program.
IncomeInt has started its own discussion forum. It's available under the link:
HYIP Innovation has promised that within 2 week they will solve all their withdrawal problems. They've mentioned new investment plans and asked not to change their status but 2 weeks have passed and nothing has changed; there are no updates so I've changed their status to NOT PAYING.
WorldWide Capital has stopped paying me and my referrals so I am forced to change their status to NOT PAYING.

Motorcycle noise issue
As an avid, high-mileage motorcycle rider for nearly thirty-five years, I've shared the road, campgrounds, restaurants and rest areas with many other bikers. By far, the most obnoxious attitude towards the rest of society in the form of raucous, ear-splitting, mind-numbing, senseless noise is displayed by those who favor the H-D marquee.
Many of these riders are apparently afflicted with the same physical disability that manifests itself as a "spastic throttle wrist"–a condition that causes the throttle to be "blipped" constantly at all stops, thus eliciting the most noise possible from their un-muffled engines. They also seem to share a twisted attitude that "real" motorcyclists should be seen (and heard) as "bad". They actively attempt to justify loud pipes (or NO pipes) by reciting the mantra, "NOISE SAVES LIVES!" as a lame excuse for their aberrant, anti-social behavior. The fact is they get away with this daily assault on our sensibilities because we allow them to–all this from the same group that loudly defends their "right" not to wear helmets.
Another habit defines their style: They love to ride in large groups sharing a lane, forming long lines of two-abreast machines, thus blocking all other traffic because they leave no space for safe passing. If another driver wants to pass, he or she must pass them all or be content to follow at whatever speed they dictate while inhaling gas fumes and enduring the cacophony of noise. I've never understood why the police allow this display of outright arrogance. While some respondents to the new Denver noise ordinance site the offenders as "a few bad apples", I challenge that conservative reference: It is, in fact, the defining attitude of a well-organized, very large group of riders who feel they are above the law and are ready to defend their "rights" against all who would challenge them. What they define as their "freedom" is an assault on the basic freedoms of the rest of us.
Next Wednesday morning I'll leave my home very early to begin a seven-hundred-mile ride to Utah with my riding buddy. Our neighbors will never hear our bikes start and will be totally unaware that we've begun this journey. As they come from the (BMW) factory, our machines have more power and speed than we can legally use while making less noise than most luxury cars. That's the way BMW wants it. That's the way we want it. And that's the way our neighbors and those we share the road with have a right to expect it to be.
It is time that we reclaim our right to "domestic peace & tranquility". I commend the Denver City Council for their actions. I urge the state and local police forces to actively enforce noise ordinances by fining offenders until it hurts.
Gary Steiner, Centennial

At least 7,000 people in eastern China were forcibly sterilized earlier this year by officials under pressure to limit the growth of the country's massive population, Time magazine reported in an edition published yesterday.
Quoting lawyers who spoke to local family-planning officials, the magazine said that between March and July, 7,000 people underwent forced abortions and sterilizations in Yinan County, Shandong Province.
"They told me they were doing this for my own good. But they have ruined my life," Time quoted one woman as saying, who the magazine said had endured forced sterilization.
The magazine said that officials in Linyi City denied any improper program.
It further reported that the lawyers alleged that several villagers were beaten to death while under detention for trying to help family members avoid sterilization.
In March, the report said, distraught peasants had complained to a local legal activist, Chen Guangcheng, about the forced sterilizations and the detention of family members.
Many people in his village, he told Time, had been imprisoned for defying the sterilization order.
Chen, the report said, was placed under house arrest by mid-last month after he filed a class action against Linyi officials accusing them of contravening the national family-planning law.
"I know I'm at risk, but I cannot give up, because people are depending on me," Chen told the magazine.
China's population reached 1.3 billion earlier this year and the demographic explosion is putting pressure on already insufficient natural resources and jobs.
It is expected to increase by about 10 million people annually to reach a peak of 1.46 billion in the mid-2030s, state media quoted population experts as saying last year.
Beijing introduced its controversial one-child policy more than 25 years ago, and state officials have credited the program with delaying by four years the point at which the country's population hit the 1.3 billion mark.
But Time said that officials in the provinces have resorted to forced sterilizations and late-term abortions to keep the population in check.
The report said that career advancement for local leaders, especially in rural areas, often depends on keeping birthrates low.

Soccer kings' dominance unparalleled
November 11. 2013 7:41PM
There's a case to be made that the newly crowned Division I champions are the best team in Hanover's legendary boys' soccer program.
Head coach Rob Grabill is leaning toward that notion.
One thing is clear: On Sunday, when Hanover toppled Alvirne of Hudson 2-0 for the state championship at Bill Ball Stadium in Exeter, the Marauders set the bar for future Hanover teams and other Division I programs.
Hanover (19-0-1) finished with 16 shutouts, 66 goals scored, five goals allowed and never trailed the entire season. Soccer historians will appreciate Hanover's 18 boys' state soccer titles as second-best in the nation, second only to Punahou School of Honolulu, Hawaii, with 19. Hanover is now tied with St. Pius X of Albequerque, N.M.
So where does this Hanover team stand in program history? Grabill, with great respect to the previous 17 champions, is cautiously leaning to this year's edition.
"I have to be careful because Hanover had consecutive 19-0-0 seasons in 1992 and 1993 under (former head coach) George Merrill," said Grabill. "What people have to remember is what this team did this year came against Division I competition. We also entered the season losing many terrific players we planned on building this team around."
Grabill mentioned Ethan Kable, who left Hanover to play in Italy, and Jonas Taenzer, who departed for Germany playing with club team Werder Bremen in Bundesliga, considered a strong Division I program. Hanover also lost many outstanding seniors from last year's state runner-up team through graduation, including Brendan Barth, a first team All-State and All-New England midfielder who now plays for Dartmouth College.
"We entered this season with huge holes to fill at the midfield position," said Grabill. "Filling those positions admirably were sophomore Asa Berolzheimer who scored in the championship game, and sophomore Jamie Dinulous, who scored the goal to beat Concord (1-0) in the semifinals."?Adding to his case, seniors Daniel Hazlett (42 goals, 25 assists), Rocco Linehan (25 goals, 24 assists) and Xavier Tchana (31 goals, 13 assists) will graduate among the top 11 scorers in program history. Hazlett stands No. 2, Linehan ninth and Tchana 11th.
Defensively, only the 2007 team allowed fewer goals, with four (the Division III Gilford boys hold the state and national record for allowing just one goal in 1999).
"The five goals allowed and the 16 shutouts are one in the same. They both speak to the same point," said Grabill. "Of the five goals we allowed, not one of them came in run of play. One was off a penalty kick and the other four were off re-starts. That's remarkable in my book."
Oh, and sportsmanlike play? Hanover drew only one yellow card the whole season.
As for Grabill, the former head soccer coach at Southern New Hampshire University (nine seasons, 113-101-7 record), he continues to add to his legacy at Hanover. In eight seasons, Grabill (134-9-1) has guided the Marauders to six state titles including five straight in Division II (2006-10) and one runner-up crown last season.
Perhaps his greatest coaching decision of the season took place with 12 minutes left on Sunday when he inserted non-starting senior Alec Murphy into the game. "He hadn't played in our previous eight games and I wanted our nine seniors on the field when the game ended," said Grabill. On a side note, brothers Luke Strohbehn and Sam Strohbehn are now champions like their father, Kris, a member of the 1977 and 1979 state title teams.
Grabill said he was hoping this season would never end. "What these kids accomplished is something we'll never forget. I'm going to miss them."

Massachusetts is the only state that has agreed to send mass mailings to register welfare recipients to vote, following a series of state lawsuits brought by the liberal group Demos, which is chaired by the daughter of Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren.
Republicans say the mass mailings indicate that Massachusetts went above and beyond what was necessary to turn out likely Democratic voters for the November election.

We are quickly approaching the holidays, a time of year that becomes a constant food feast. Beginning with Halloween candy sales, through Thanksgiving, Christmas parties and New Year's Eve, we will be bombarded with yummy, rich, comforting foods.
We are quickly approaching the holidays, a time of year that becomes a constant food feast. Beginning with Halloween candy sales, through Thanksgiving, Christmas parties and New Year's Eve, we will be bombarded with yummy, rich, comforting foods.
If you are trying to lose weight or just keep from gaining, this can be a rough couple of months. The good news is there are plenty of healthy foods that are commonly served this time of year. You just need to know which variations are naughty to your diet and which will be nice.
Apples: Fall brings apples, which are a great source of fiber, vitamin C, pectin and antioxidants. Eating apples can help lower cholesterol and help prevent heart disease.
Naughty: Apple pies; turnovers; sweetened applesauce; caramel or candied apples
Nice: Unsweetened applesauce; Waldorf salads; raw apples; using unsweetened applesauce to replace fat in baked goods
Beans: Green beans are often on the menu for holiday meals. Unfortunately, they are usually in the form of a creamy casserole.
Naughty: Green bean casserole
Nice: Steamed or sautéed green beans with olive oil, lemon and almonds
Chocolate: What's a holiday without chocolate? Dark chocolate is a concentrated source of flavanol antioxidants that can help decrease cholesterol. It also has a lot of calories, fat and sugar. Choose 70 percent cocoa or higher chocolate for the most flavonols and the least amount of sugar and fat.
Naughty: Chocolate-covered nougats, marshmallows or other candies; milk chocolate
Nice: Dark chocolate dipped fruits
Cranberries: It's true cranberries can help prevent urinary tract infections by interfering with the ability of bacteria to adhere to cell membranes. They also are loaded with vitamin C and cancer-preventing antioxidants.
Naughty: Jellied canned cranberry sauce
Nice: Fresh cranberry relish; dried cranberries
Pecans: Nuts are a good source of protein, Vitamin E and monounsaturated fats. Nuts are part of a heart-healthy diet. Beware, though, because they do have a lot of calories.
Naughty: Pecan pie
Nice: Raw or roasted spiced pecans. (If you must have the pie, go for just a tiny piece and don't eat the crust)
Pumpkin: This dark orange vegetable is packed full of vitamin A, beta-carotene, potassium and fiber. It really shouldn't just be a seasonal food.
Naughty: Pumpkin pie; pumpkin breads or bars (with the mandatory cream cheese frosting, of course)
Nice: Crust-less pumpkin pie or pudding; using pumpkin to replace fat in baked goods; using pumpkin in savory soups and main dishes
Turkey: Another seasonal food that should be eaten year-round. Turkey is an excellent source of protein, and skinless turkey breast has the least amount of fat per serving among all meats.
Naughty: Turkeys that have been injected with a sodium solution or artificial flavorings; turkey gravy made with pan drippings; turkey skin
Nice: Breast meat has less fat and calories than dark meat, but not significantly lower; read labels and choose a turkey that is free of any additives; make gravy with defatted broth; don't eat the skin
Stuffing: Many consider stuffing to be more important to the meal than the turkey. Tweaking your recipe can make this dish much healthier.
Naughty: Typical stuffing made with white bread, lots of butter, chopped giblets and meat drippings cooked inside the bird
Nice: Use whole-grain bread, defatted drippings, cut the butter, eliminate the giblet meat. Add some dried fruits, like cranberries, raisins, or apricots. Cook in a casserole dish, rather than stuffed in the turkey.
Sweet Potatoes or Yams: Another powerhouse vegetable full of fiber, beta-carotene, Vitamin C and potassium
Naughty: Candied sweet potatoes; canned sweet potatoes
Nice: Baked sweet potato (sprinkle with a little brown sugar and cinnamon, if you must); roasted sweet potato chunks; mashed sweet potatoes
There are a couple of important but simple things to remember to help you prevent weight gain during the holidays. First, keep your portions in check. Go ahead and have some of those special yummy foods, but just take a small portion. Second, keep up with your regular exercises and even add a few minutes more to make up for the extra calories.

The night of the walking dead is in a couple of weeks, the playground for ghouls, goblins, witches, and a heyday for vampires! Did you know that you may have vampires with you every day of the year? Vampires that suck your juice daily – electrical juice that is?
Electrical vampires come in all shapes, sizes, colors and varieties. Most common are cell phone charger vampires. They suck energy whether a device is disengaged or fully charged. According to www.energy.gov, a vacant charger that is still plugged in will suck 0.26 watts, while one a fully charged device will continue to suck 2.24 watts. These and other small "plug-in" device vampires can actually add 10% to your electric bill.
You might be housing some really large vampires, too. How about a cable television box, DVR or HDTV device? Never turning off your cable box will add almost $18 a year to your bill. Add the DVR to that cable box, and you have now more than doubled your vampires to $44.
Other electrical vampires come in the form of electrical units that are used, but not usually turned off when not in use. How often do you leave your computer on and just let it go to sleep, or leave it on and turn off the monitor? What about the kid's video game complex? Now that's a big vampire!
Most of us have about 25 vampires within our household. So how can you deal with these spark-suckers? You may feel like running around unplugging everything, but that may not be practical because unplugging microwaves and alarm clocks means that you have to reset them every time you want to use them.
The best option is to cluster similarly used devices and plug several into a power strip. When you are not using them, shut down all of that sucking with one flip of a switch. Actually shutting down your computer, saving that game on the kid's video device and turning them off rather than leaving them idle can save you more than $100 a year.
If you are ready to replace your old computer or appliance, do not give it away or sell it. Bring it in to the local recycling center instead of passing along a big vampire or other energy sucker. Then be sure to get an Energy Star-rated item for replacement. (Check out www.Energystar.gov for information on rebates or tax credits.)
Even Energy Star items cannot make your electric bill become a ghost of the past, but at least you will not be bringing another monster into the house. With a few carefully planned steps, you can make your house an unwelcome place for spark-sucking vampires to live.

Mount Marcy Climber's Log
Koba - Dec 19, 2007 2:56 pm Date Climbed: Oct 8, 2007Love the transition to snow in the fall above 3500'
My third 46'er, from the Loj. Light snow, full overcast (of course ungodly perfect weather the day after) didn't see a single person most of the way up until I shared the summit with a crazy peak bagging couple and their baby who also had neither crampons nor stabilizers on. Round trip in a little under 8 hours. Make sure you check out Indian Falls!
MattGreene - Dec 1, 2007 9:55 pmBest of the ADK
I've climbed Marcy several times, and put it as the best in the ADKs because of the awesome ski trail descent. You have to be patient to catch it in good condition, but when you do, it's unbeatable.
eric-griz - Nov 9, 2007 9:01 pm Date Climbed: Jul 25, 2001Theodore Roosevelt
Theodore Roosevelt was hiking on Mt. Marcy when he learned of the death of William McKinley. TR would become one of the finest presidents of the US.
MtnMagic - Oct 25, 2007 1:00 amClimbed several times
Climbed this one several times although the peak has turned me back more than once. In fact, it is on Marcy that I have had the roughest weather and highest winds I have ever experienced on any summit bar none. On one particular december day in 1994 it was -25 celsius and the winds were howling to about 120mph = no summit. Then again, on one fine day in August of 1998 I was able to summit Grey, Marcy, Colden and Phelps. In other words, mountains, as easy as they may be to climb on the best of days, can easily shrug you off with foul conditions. Our passage on their summits is always dependant on nature's permission and Marcy, a trivial mountain technically speaking, is no exception.
EastcoastMike - Oct 17, 2007 10:32 pmMarcy and Skylight
Climbed Marcy, went over and up Skylight, then back over Marcy as part of a weekend trip.
CaLculAted Risk - Oct 15, 2007 1:51 pm Date Climbed: Oct 9, 2007Completed
Hiked via the Van Hoevenberg Trail from the ADK Campgrounds. A much harder hike than I was expecting. 11 hours round trip with approximately a 1/2 hour hiking after nightfall. Beautiful fall colors and amazing summit views. A great first mountain for me and an opportunity to stand on top of New York State for a moment in time...
buzzdainer - Oct 14, 2007 10:30 pm Date Climbed: Apr 15, 1998Van Hoevenberg
Lots of snow. Should have brought tele-skis!
Holsti97 - Oct 12, 2007 12:18 pm Date Climbed: Oct 8, 2007Rain, mud, and wind
Started at the Adirondack Loj on the VanHoevenberg Trail at 9:35 AM. Rainy day. Reached the summit at 2:45 PM with my wife. High winds and mist at summit. Low visibility. Hiked down on slippery rocks. Used headlamps for last mile out. Reached parking lot at 7:00 PM. HP #25.
alpspitze - Sep 25, 2007 8:58 am Date Climbed: Sep 13, 1999Day Hike from the Garden
Great hike in September with no bugs and lots of sunshine.
tioga - Sep 15, 2007 10:27 pm Date Climbed: Aug 8, 2002First ADK
Hiked up it with my parents on a summer vacation. I just remember it being chilly and windy on top and being incredibly tired by the end of the hike. We started from the Loj, so it was a 14 mile round trip.
gwave47 - Sep 6, 2007 9:27 am Date Climbed: Aug 31, 2007Great View; Long Hike
It was a very long hike. Coming down the rocky creek beds is very unpleasant on the feet and every few steps it seem as if a rock rolls out from under you. The views were beautiful from the top and it was rather windy and chilly on the summit. Definitely worth the hike.
cbucker - Aug 28, 2007 6:55 pm Date Climbed: Jul 14, 2006Perfect
Prefect day. Very long, wet ascent with great clear visibility.
Bark Eater - Aug 18, 2007 5:11 pm Date Climbed: Jun 24, 1976First Ascent
My first ascent of many. I prefer the approach from Tahawus to the Van Hoevenberg trail...relatively few people and more interesting. It makes for a challenging day hike. Winter Ascent on 12/30/79.
velodurt - Aug 4, 2007 9:32 am Date Climbed: Jul 27, 2007Van Hoevenberg
We had a great day on Marcy, even if it did rain on us on the descent. The Daks are a beautiful place and Marcy is a jewel! Check out our report and pics at Natural Born Hikers-Mount Marcy
thelisa - Jul 23, 2007 7:42 pm Date Climbed: Jan 1, 2007New Year's Backpack
Had the summit to myself for a good while that day. Cold but clear blue sky and bright sunshine. A great way to start the year!
atavist - Jul 21, 2007 7:52 am Date Climbed: Oct 6, 1999road trip
Left Ohio (Marysville) right after work on Friday. Drove to exhaustion and arrived in Lake Placid around 3AM. Woke up by combination of freezing temperatures and approaching dawn. Found my way to the trailhead and started up the 8-10 mile trail around 9AM. Beautiful hike. Ended up scalping a ticket and watching Rage in NYC the same evening. Crashed at Penn State Saturday night and got back to work on Monday morning. Next time, maybe I'll buy an airplane ticket.
rkrevald - Jul 8, 2007 2:27 pm Date Climbed: Jul 6, 2007We Luck Out With A Break In The Rain
It rained for all 5 days that we were in the Adirondacks. Fortunately we got a short break in the rain upon reaching the summit - beautiful views! Please go to http://50summits.blogspot.com to read our trip report.
birdny - Jun 20, 2007 8:13 am Date Climbed: Sep 12, 1992First High Peak
Climbed Mt Marcy back in 1992 with my brothers, Bob, Mike, and a co-worker Bobby. Was an awesome hike and great intro to the High Peaks of NY
adam_m_frederick - Jun 12, 2007 11:55 am Date Climbed: Feb 4, 2006Windy Indeed
This mountain is a legacy for me. I climb it everytime i'm in the area, simply wonderful. Beware of wind: Last time i took her summit she blew me off. I fell more then 75 feet. I survived with a bruised chest and ego, but she can whip up a good force when she wants to.
lost_in_nj - Mar 20, 2007 7:44 pm Date Climbed: Feb 3, 2007Marcy in Winter
Second time up Marcy, this time in winter. Breaking trail is hard work. Windy above treeline!
