In this suspenseful episode of The 46 of 46 Podcast, we take you back to the Summer of 1954 in Lake Placid, to the haunting wilderness of the Adirondack High Peaks, where a story of crime and escape unfolds.

Discover how Lake Placid, a town famed for its tranquil beauty and Olympic glory, became the epicenter of a dramatic manhunt for a murderous fugitive. With the dense forests and rugged trails of the Adirondacks as his shield, the fugitive used this vast, remote wilderness to evade capture, turning nature’s sanctuary into his hideout.

Dive deep into the chase, exploring both the physical and psychological landscapes that helped shape one of the most captivating fugitive tales in the region’s history.

Join us for a journey into the shadows of the High Peaks, where every leaf and trail could tell a thousand stories.

In the twilight, as the sun starts to dip behind the mountains, and its golden light kisses the surrounding summits, darkness engulfs the valleys below. The sounds of the forest awaken as the moon rises and a wailing can be heard for miles. A distinctive wailing that to some, may just sound like the wind in the trees…but it’s something more. Something sinister. But sometimes one wrong step down one wrong path is all it takes to find yourself face to face…with the Nye Wolf.

In this Columbus Day Weekend Summit Session special I had the honor of speaking with Monika and David from the Leave No Trace organization all about the 7 Principles of Leave No Trace, LNT consulting in the Adirondack Park, and even went on a "virtual" hike up Mt Marcy to put those 7 principles to practice out on the trail.

This was a fun episode filled with information on how to responsibly and respectfully venture into the outdoors.

It's October and that means it's time to have some spooky fun here in the outdoors of the Adirondack Mountains. This is an episode I've wanted to do for a long time, Bigfoot in the Blue Line. The Blue Line is another nickname for the Adirondacks and in this week's October Session I'll hear a possible Bigfoot encounter from longtime outdoorsman and NYS Guide, Devin Peterson, and we'll discuss his encounter, and read and discuss many other reported encounters from right here inside the Blue Line. A perfect episode for a chilly, spooky, Autumn night.

In this Summit Session episode I'll speak with licenced Adirondack Guide, Allison Cascade Kozel, and we'll discuss all the tips and tricks she has learned over the years guiding families with kids out on the trail. Allison also started hiking in the Adirondack high peaks when she was just five years old and became an ADK 46'er a mere two weeks after her 13'th birthday; so she brings a unique perspective and experience level to this episode, having hiked both with kids and as a kid.

As a father who loves to hike with his two young daughters I can say hiking with them can be one of the greatest experiences possible and I hope this episode helps you get out on the trails with your own kids. It can feel like a daunting task, but start small and work your way up. If you're planning to hike with young kids for the first time you'll want to take notes because Allison shares incredible insight on how to have a successful hike with kids.
