Agree with these, especially the part about "drowning": I assume, at that age, that the kid will be in your direct line of sight at all times anyway, so water could maybe be a part of it. The campgrounds are a great idea, would add Lafayette Place; doesn't 4th Iron also have showers? And...

Sorry, sorry!

The swallow may fly south with the sun, or the house martin or the plover seek warmer hot lands in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land.

I'm sorry to hear it, best wishes for a clean and speedy recovery!

I saw a moose drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's.

Who knows, maybe they're part of a horrible child-exploitation ring in a pizza shop, but my experience has been four or five visits (between 2008 & 2016), always positive. Yes, clean rooms and a generally professional approach. No idea about pets. Anecdote: I was checked in there one winter...

I voted NOTA, but am still very appreciative of the forum and check in often; Thank You, Tim, and to everyone who helps keep it alive.

Is she cooking with cast iron? Sure she's got this one, but just in case....

Thank you to Tim, to everyone who helps moderate, and to all who still participate; Happy New Year.

I have done a dozen or so winter overnights (Ethan Pond, Santanoni, Hermit Lake, Kinsman Pond, that kind of thing) and have always been grateful for both a -30* (EMS) bag and my down parka and snow pants. You never know when the calculus of food, exertion and insulation conspire to make you...

Chocorua immediately went to a top-ten experience for me (and you know all about it), so I'll recommend... The Moat Mountains: some similar views, and good stuff in any case, much easier. Also a fun and easy ridge walk. Now, if you really want a ridge walk, try the Shelburne-Moriah trail...

Hey there, Wow, this sure is a piece of ancient history. No, I did not do the trip as envisioned (no partner/crew for that one), so I just cut it into pieces and did Chocorua (Champney Falls), Whiteface & Passaconaway from the south, Tripyramids from the north slide, and Sandwich/Jennings/Noon...

Thank you!

Question: Doesn't the Lincoln Woods trail still have RR ties in it? Wouldn't this make the ride kind of a jarring annoyance? I could see this being the tipping factor if I were a biker.
