Awesome video btw. My favorite music video so far.

I've never been much into Hank Williams Sr... I'm more of Johnny Cash kinda guy when it comes to country -

Damn... those are some nice woods. I'm jealous of the Quebecois.

But Johnny... do I see a little T bone in the 5th picture. Shame, shame... and your beard is not even full length yet.

The woods are always better on the other side of the border :)

I've been down only once to backcountry in NY (Lyon Mountain) and it was awsome too!

I've never been to Lyon but the APSA wants to maintain glades on it:

I'd like to at least hike it sometime, see what it looks like.

Old pictures from april 3th 2011. This mountain is just inches shy of 4000 feet, it has a lot of potential!

Yeah it's a big boy for being that far north.

Lot's of stunted spruce (krumholtz) up high. You don't see those as much if you stay lower in elevation, more birch and maple. Always so much blowdown here though... how do you guys keep your forest so clean?

Who's Jasper?

I meant in New York State Ron. Not in the continent of North America.

Niiiiiiice! But why the frig didn't I get invited to Lyon Mountain?!?

Stemming is cool and fun with XC shoes! (Especially broken ones... : )

How do we keep our woods clean? What, is there something else to do in the summertime?!?
