https://nhfishgame.com/2024/05/29/hiker-assisted-out-of-the-woods-near-wild-river/ The WMNF cited this trail as one of the ways they would mitigate the removal of the former Moriah Brook Bridge. When water levels are low its not a major issue but with highwater, this trail adds miles to a hike...

No details yet but saw some paywalled headlines that a hiker had a serious broken leg and had to crawl to a helicopter. As soon as anyone has seen a non firewalled report, fell free to post it.

https://whitemountains.tv/white-mountain-nf-seasonal-roads-closed-due-to-storm-damage/ The Wild River Campground has a loyal following of campers. With the road closed access to the Wild River in general has just gotten more challenging although I wonder how accessible the road is with a bike...

I don't frequent fee lots of late, but this is first one I have seen at a WMNF lot. GIven many of the fee lots lack power and data, I dont expect them to be in all the lots.

My favorite DEET based bug repellent 3M Ultrathon lotion seems to be hard to get of late. It has got 34% DEET and some sort of polymer mix that limits skin absorption so it lasts longer. I have been using it for 20 years including the years I was sectioning on the AT. I found it longer lasting...

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://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...
