A 0 degree bag probably isn't going to be warm enough- especially for a higher elevation campsite like Bradley Pond (just shy of 3,000 feet). You might get lucky with a warm night but honestly, IMO...

Have you thought about trying options closer to home? The northern edge of the PA Wilds is a mere 2 hours from Rochester. Less than 3 hours of driving gets you to the Susquehannock Trail System,...

I've been on most of those roads- without maintenance many of them were very rapidly becoming overgrown, rocky and rutted, etc. Also, with the Wilderness designation, a lot of those roads that were...

With the MacIntyre east purchase they also don't have nearly as easy access to Allen these days. The boundary line is much further south, and the old road has been "naturalized" and is not the...

Yeah, sleeping in cars/RVs/campers at a trailhead is technically verboten- it is camping within 150 feet of a road at a non-designated site (the regs are clear that sleeping in a vehicle still counts...

Even some DEC campgrounds may be what you are looking for. Not every DEC campground has a rambunctious party atmosphere like Fish Creek. It can take some research and maybe even some trial and...
