Scott Stevens

Scott Stevens grew up in Lake Luzerne, and spent much of his childhood in the outdoors, hiking, camping and fishing. After spending four years at SUNY Oswego in Central New York, he couldn't wait to get back to the Adirondack Mountains! Currently living in Hudson Falls, a day in the woods is only a short drive away, and is always enticing at the end of the work week.

Scott began his quest to climb all 46 of the Adirondack high-peaks last summer, and will continue climbing this summer, and future summers, until he reaches this goal. He also truly enjoys trout fishing, and with the countless rivers, streams and ponds in the Adirondacks, who doesn't?

Read his blog as he explores the Adirondack Mountains on day hikes, over-night outings, and fishing trips this summer. He vows to keep you in the loop as he updates his gear, plans his trips, and hits the woods! Please, feel free to comment and share posts - as he does have some experience, there is always more to learn!

Have you heard of geocaching? If you haven't, let me explain. Geocaching is a real-world treasure hunt, taking place in the great outdoors, in every corner of the Earth. A 'cache' can be a mailbox, an ammunition box, a zip-lock bag, or any waterproof container. They usually contain a logbook, a writing utensil, photos, or inexpensive objects that people trade from cache to cache.

Most people that enjoy geocaching belong to an online community, and find nearby caches (coordinates) through the website. The coordinates are entered into a GPS device, and the treasure hunter is on their way.
