    Hiking / outdoor ‘learning experiences’

    A friend and I spotted my car an Lincoln Woods once and drove his up to the North Twin Trailhead for a one night Twins/Bonds traverse. As we were getting ready to lock up his car, I said "I am going to throw my keys in your glove box so I don't loose them". "Good idea" he said. It never clicked...

    Vehicle Break-In's at Trail Heads

    There is an article in today's Conway Daily Sun saying that they have arrested the suspect. Apparently he broke into a car at Black Cap trail head and stole a debit card, and the pictures were taken as he tried to use it. The only item of value I ever leave in my vehicle is a beer on ice apres hike.

    Do things suck up north?

    Personally, I have not been documenting conditions much as I usually end up hiking just before a major weather event. I met one other on my way down yesterday heading for Adams. I don't think the ice is that bad from what I saw.

    Do things suck up north?

    I climbed Madison yesterday (Valley Way), and IMO conditions are perfect. Spikes the entire way, hard packed, grippy and fast. Summit cone mostly bare rock with some ice here and there. Only two small patches of boilerplate-ish ice, both easily avoidable.

    Fatality in Franconia Notch?

    This is from an article this morning in the Union Leader about a rescue last night (10/18 into 10/19) on the Avalon trail, due to an injured ankle. Anyone know what happened in the notch? “Due to a hiker death in Franconia Notch, this rescue had a skeleton crew for the carry out and they...

    NASCAR this weekend - traffic hours on Sunday?

    The Sunday race doesn't start until 3:00 this year, so I wouldn't expect traffic to get bad southbound until around 7-8 o'clock.

    Porcupine Encounters

    While I've never seen one, my dog found one near Eliza Brook Shelter a couple year ago. It was a long walk out Reel Brook and down the road to our car at the Mt. Kinsman trailhead for the poor guy, followed quick visit to CAVES in Concord.

    Found - Wristwear - Basin Lot

    Found a piece of wriswear in the lower basin lot. Looks like it belongs to a hiker and not a tourist. Let me know at: mthiker100@yahoo.
