Why you should walk through mud on spring hikes

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:29:49 GMT

QUEENSBURY, N.Y. (NEWS10) - April showers aside, the time is here for early-season hikers to get busy exploring trails in the Adirondacks. Like every year, hiking in the spring invites muddy feet. The verdict: Trudge right through that mud, rather than going around, for the good of the trail. Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! This month, the Department of Environmental Conservation put out an advisory for hikers to keep an eye out for muddy trails as they take to the mountains this spring. Mud is one large contributor to trail erosion - and what hikers do while enjoying the trails can inadvertently tear things up further. "The more people hike on these trails, the more muddy conditions get created. That's the big message for us," said Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK) Trails Manager Charlotte Staats. "Erosion, like we're concerned with, is always happening, year-round and all the time, and in the spring it's really the biggest t...

Fighters rampage in Darfur as Sudan extends fragile truce

By SAMY MAGDY (Associated Press)CAIRO (AP) — Armed fighters rampaged through a city in Sudan’s war-ravaged region of Darfur on Thursday, battling each other and looting shops and homes, residents said. The violence came despite the extension of a fragile truce between Sudan’s two top generals, whose power struggle has killed hundreds.The mayhem in the Darfur city of Genena pointed to how the rival generals’ fight for control in the capital, Khartoum, was spiraling into violence in other parts of Sudan. The two sides accepted a 72-hour extension of the truce late Thursday. The agreement, brokered by the United States and Saudi Arabia, has not stopped the fighting but created enough of a lull for tens of thousands of Sudanese to flee to safer areas and for foreign nations to evacuate hundreds of their citizens by land, air and sea.The cease-fire has brought a significant easing of fighting in Khartoum and its neighboring city Omdurman for the first time since t...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:29:49 GMT

By NOAH TRISTER (AP Sports Writer)The Baltimore Ravens agreed in principle with Lamar Jackson on a five-year deal Thursday, securing their star quarterback for the foreseeable future and ending a contract negotiation saga that was dominating the team’s offseason.The Ravens announced the deal hours before the first round of the NFL draft, and it’s fair to say that in Baltimore at least, this news will overshadow whoever the team might take in the first round. Jackson was the NFL’s MVP in 2019, but after playing out his rookie contract, his future was in doubt. Baltimore put the franchise tag on Jackson last month, but the Ravens kept expressing confidence that they could reach a long-term agreement with him.___AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl and https://twitter.com/AP_NFL
