There werent biting but definitely hanging around. Line ups up with the in by mothers day and hopefully gone before fathers day.

https://www.nbcboston.com/news/local/group-of-mass-teen-hikers-rescued-from-nh-trail/3366721/ My guess is they went up Liberty, took the walk over to Flume and took longer than expected on the inevitable monorail down in the col and decided to head down Flume slide.

https://nhfishgame.com/2024/05/10/hikers-needed-to-be-rescued-on-mt-washington/ The trails out of the Great Gulf tend to melt out the latest. Wamsutta Trail faces North and is quite steep. It is going to be full of snow for quite a few more weeks.

It may be clear enough out tonight and tomorrow to see the northern lights up in northern NH https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2024/05/09/sun-storm-flares-cme-aurora-lights/

https://www.wmur.com/article/vehicle-break-ins-new-hampshire-trailheads/60691615 Hope its isolated versus some sleazebag(s) moving into the area. Most car break ins are crimes of opportunity, if someone sees something they want, they pop a window to get it. I see cars all the time loaded with...

https://nhfishgame.com/2024/05/03/lost-hiker-rescued-from-great-gulf/ Quite the "Oops" on navigation. I can envision the upper Great Gulf trail still has snow measured in feet and every bit of it is "rotten" so post holing is a almost a guarantee. So was this a rescue or was F&G merely...

https://www.bangordailynews.com/2024/05/02/piscataquis/piscataquis-government/baxter-state-park-roaring-brook-road-closure/ Some of the early birds to the park may be unhappy.

Unless you know where the greenhouse is being built you would not know it existed. https://www.conwaydailysun.com/berlin_sun/news/local/business-is-sprouting-at-north-country-growers/article_f6c1977e-073e-11ef-bee8-43f0407772a2.html

https://patch.com/new-hampshire/concord-nh/nh-fish-game-locate-overdue-ultra-runner-trail-lincoln I am surprised there are not more rescues of this type.

My frequent shortcut between RT 16 and RT 2 in the Gorham/ Randolph area is still officially closed and was blocked off with orange cones as of yesterday. It is usually still signed closed but passable this time of year but I expect the heavy rains events in the last 6 months did heavy damage...

https://friendsofsearsisland.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FOSI-Map-for-web-2022.pdf Large undeveloped coastal islands in Maine with walk in access are pretty rare in Maine. Sears Island in Penobscot Bay was bought by the state of Maine in the past when the land rush for coastal maine real...

Looking at the woods and the forecast, its time to brush off the tick prevention gear.

Looking like I may be over that way for few days. I have visited Acadia back in college but never hiked there. So what are the best or must do hikes? It will be soon to avoid the crowds.

No doubt the net snowpack went down with the wet weather the last few days, but a reminder that its still April in northern NH. Just a trace of fresh snow on elevated surfaces at 1400 feet at the Gorham/Randolph line.

Either folks listened to F&G to avoid the backcountry or the ones that did go did not need rescuing? Looking at New England Trail Conditions there are multiple trail reports including mine on Eclipse day. Of course if someone wanted to be in the path of totality, the options were kind of slim in...

Its looking like the next 48 hours is going to be the spring melt in the Northern NH. The snow pack is still up in the woods and its its "rotten" and ready to turn into water. Stream are already running a bit high and the forecast is light rain today and warm temps with much heavier rain...
