91.) The Moose-McKenzie Traverse Jul 09, 2021

Show notes

A sunny day on the trail had me finally hiking the giant ridge between two big mountains that hover over Lake Placid, NY once and for all. The Moose-Mckenzie Traverse. Despite having climbed these mountains separately many times before, the mysterious 3-mile ridge that connects them both has been calling my name for years, so today was the day.

89.) Summit Sessions #26: Small Town Monsters in the Adirondacks with Filmmaker Seth Breedlove Jun 18, 2021

Show notes

In this unique Summit Session I have the privilege of speaking to director and filmmaker, Seth Breedlove, of Small Town Monsters, to discuss his latest film entitled "On the Trail of Bigfoot: The Journey" which came out this week. If you've followed this podcast long enough you'll know I thoroughly enjoy two things; the Adirondacks and Bigfoot, and this documentary combines those two things.
Seth and his crew shot their latest film primarily in the Adirondack Park as they searched for Bigfoot and answers to "if a creature of this nature does exist, it would likely be in a place like the Adirondacks". In this episode Jonathan Zaharek stops by the studio and we chat with Seth about his new film, what brought him to the ADK for the film, and his love for the Adirondack Park. This was a fun conversation.
Check out Seth's company and films at www.SmallTownMonsters.com or rent/purchase the film on Amazon Prime, iTunes, Vudu, and more.

88.) Summit Sessions Spotlight: Paddling Ohio's Maumee River with Paul Fuzinski Jun 11, 2021

Show notes

In this new Summit Session Spotlight I'll shine the light on another person who got creative with the outdoors right in their own backyard. This week's spotlight is on Paul Fuzinski, host of the Aptitude Outdoors Podcast, who decided to paddle the 137-mile Maumee River from end to end simply because "he could". Not because it was some sought after local accomplishment to achieve but simply to do something fun and different in the outdoors right in his home state. All it takes is a little creativity, and some will, to have an outdoors adventure wherever you call home.

86.) Summit Sessions Spotlight: New Jersey's Thousand Foot Peaks with Brian Shultis Apr 02, 2021

Show notes

In this first "Summit Sessions Spotlight" episode I'll be putting the spotlight on a man named Brian Shultis who got creative and sought out a new way to explore his home state of New Jersey by climbing all 51 peaks over 1,000' elevation. This creative adventure took Brian to entirely new places he had never been (and wouldn't have explored otherwise) ultimately giving him a newfound appreciation of the great outdoors in his home state.
This new "Summit Sessions Spotlight" series moves beyond the Blue Line of the Adirondack Park and exists to highlight people getting creative in the outdoors and exploring their own backyards in new ways to create unique outdoors adventures. Do you or someone you know have a similar story? Shoot me an email at 46of46podcast@gmail.com I would love to hear about it.

83.) Bushwhacking Green Mountain: The 45th Tallest Peak in the Adirondacks Feb 26, 2021

Show notes

In this February episode I'm throwing it back to warmer days; a Summer-time hike where the gang and I set out to bushwhack up the 45th tallest mountain in the state, Green Mountain. Though not an official "High Peak" Green is taller than multiple High Peaks and is a mountain without a trail therefore requiring bushwhacking and off trail navigational skills through its thick evergreen woods to the summit of this mysterious mountain.
