Remix - I ordered a Garmin 450t from REI, in part because I had $50 in certificates due to expire. In the interest of acccuracy - REI didn't have these in stock when the sale became effective, so...
I did Cabot this winter - it's several (maybe 7 miles) in from the main highway. All good road - you drive well past the gate, and am quite sure you can park right by the trailhead in summer. If...
The threads are visible and in good shape - no knicks, scrapes, etc. The cap resembles the standard 1L Nalgene, only slightly smaller. And, it's not recessed, like some bladders. It's one of...
Am having trouble unscrewing the lid/cap on my Camelbak - it's about 5 years old and in otherwise good condition. Only use it in warmer weather and then only with water, so it's not a cleanliness...
I think it may have been because it was a holiday for our northern neighbors. Today is Victoria Day in Canada. There were lots of people at the summit of Washington on Saturday. Very festive mood.
If you have a digital subscription to Netflix you can see it. It's an HD version as well.
Gotta get me one of those hats!!
FWIW - I was at Lakes hut yesterday. There's somewhere between 3' and 4' of ice in the basement, aka "the Dungeon". My hunch is it will take a few more weeks to melt.
Was it a cold day? If it's below a certain temp, they don't bite.
Thanks for the info, Remix. And - FWIW - Cabelas has this model on sale for the same price, including free shipping, thru the end of May.
On the above page, Cabela's has a couple of rather useful...
It would appear so. In the past, I've seen long lines of vehicles parked to the north of Lafayette Place, and no sign of tickets/tow trucks. I don't recall seeing any signs with "No Parking" as you...
As a follow-up: did a Squam lake traverse today - East Doublehead, Squam, Percival and Morgan. Even though I scraped ice off the windshield this morning, the black flies were out in force. In all...
They're out there. The cold weather of the past several days has kept them quieter. Ticks also - check your legs carefully. Have only seen the big ones thus far.
Is the Dungeon a permissible destination? In other words, can the crew at the Lakes Hut assign that space to hikers?
I always regarded the Dungeon as a refuge only, and to be used only in...
Well, the default may be for Chrome to open a new tab, but as Tim points out, you can pull a tab off. Or simply open a new session. Or three, or four.
I can't imagine living without Chrome,...
The price makes it tempting. Does anyone know whether you can download via USB cable maps sets from products like TOPO US 100K, Topo US 24K West, Topo Canada v4, etc? The online info says you can...
Am very sorry to hear you lost your beloved Emma. Maybe she and Brutie are sniffing noses somewhere like they did in the Whites.
If/when I replace my Garmin 60CSx, I'll be looking closely at a Garmin eTrex 30.
I have a couple of apps for my 'Droild - Google Maps and Alpine something or other. Google Maps is terrific, but...
Edmands Path doesn't get much winter traffic due to the closure of the Mt Clinton Road, so whether it opens by the weekend or not is something of a moot point.
If I wanted Eisenhower, I do it via...
Agreed - have never seen such an orientation myself. Perhaps there was some limiting factor, such as support rails which weren't long enough for the usual orientation.
Aside from wind uplift,...
I doubt the steps will be visible due to snow/ice for a few weeks yet.
The snow was continuous from about the jct of the Snapper with Gorge Brook (the new relocation) and varied from about 1' to 3'+. There's no monorail per se; however, if you strayed beyond the 2'...
As to Sue's point about the number of hikers vs. trail maintainers - I think the corresponding bounce will come, but it might take a year or two, perhaps more. It's been my observation that a...
If I were doing Beaverbrook, I'd use my Kahtoola microspikes. I did Moosilauke on Monday via Gorge Brook, and used them up to treeline. On the descent via Carriage and Snapper, the snow was soft...
