Hello all, It's nice seeing some familiar names on here after moving to Key Weird almost 7 years ago! Dang I miss this site and especially the Whites! I am escaping the sandbar for a trip to the Northern Presi's! Wooo-Haaa!!! It's been a while since I stayed at any of the RMC spots. I noticed...

hello, i have paddled my 14ft carolina for many years on day trips and camping trips. i have always wanted a SOT that could do the same in nice weather, be more fun for swimming/snorkaling and since i am going to the glades and keys for a few weeks now is the time to get one! i am pretty sold...

wooo-haaaa! its that time of year again. lots to eat, and good stuff to check out on the interwebs while at work! http://www.outdoors.org/recreation/tripplanner/go/backcountry-weather.cfm

hollerrrrrr, a few websites say it has reopened but i cannot find anything on the AMC website about it being open, closed or even existing for that matter. it is an amc site right? thanks y'all, chillybillygoat

helllo all, i am posting this for a friend coming up from the rotten apple (i say that as a term of endearment). Any suggestions would be great as i do not know that area very well. Thank you very much. Do you know any good hikes in the Stockbridge - Great Barrington area of the Berkshires...

i am working on my own map of monadnock showing points of interest, old trails and having nice contour lines. hopefully the final product will be 18 x 18. the AMC map has all trails perfectly placed on the map using GPS but useless contour lines. the really old USGS maps online are beautiful...

Moonlit Monadnock July 7th and 8th Last minute crackpot ideas often kick ass. Yeah! Lots of ass. Walking into work Friday morning last, a co-worker commented hearing a radio DJ proclaiming the night to be weird and crazy because of a full moon. Although the moon wasn't full until...

ok, and i am supposed to sleep well in my tent; all alone on my first solo trip!?!? no problem! http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/story/7795684p-7709118c.html has anyone, firsthand, had a bear encounter while sleeping in your tent or in a shelter you would like to share? What happened, what'd you...

just curious. i think the results might explain the strong reaction to the events that happened. there are mistakes and we all make them and learn from them. there are really stupid mistakes we make less often and learn from them. then there are mistakes like hiking to a hut that is not open...

luck sometimes runs out. i haven't had any trees inflict damage on my eyes, but after reading a few things lately about sticks and branches and eyesight problems......i'm thinking. i have safety glasses for grinding, power tools etc. is this what y'all wear for protection? or something else...

trip photos here Day one, Friday, found V-rock and I parking at Pinkam Notch Visitor Center and hitching down to the 19 Mile Brook trailhead. A really nice Canadian couple picked us up. They were enjoying their first winter trip to the whites. We carried one meter mini-ski's for a quick and...

waz good y'all, i work at my local ems (greatest p/t job ever) and tried to plan a store trip to the notch to get more peoples out in the winter and unfortunately it's failed miserably. there was much interest of course when we talked about it(hmmm, no more planning trips at the bar after...

good morning all, this whole working thing really annoys me and i need to get away with only a 2 day weekend :( To keep things action packed and justify 9 hours of driving, I have the idea of a Franconia Ridge overnighter up flume slide to liberty springs to lafayette and down the OBP. i will...

we have all seen the TP in the trees before come spring and its not a great sight. if away from any privies and on snow do y'all leave everything? just bag out the TP, or carry it all out? i usually just carry out the TP in a seperate trash ziplock. would this be considered bad form?

ok, i guess i should have also added spork to the choices! edit: or a knork!!! i always just carry a spoon, not ideal for ramen or spagetti, but great for most everything else and i really like carrying only one thing. i am just curious what most people carry and why? william

i am pretty sure i am not to ask about (description deleted as poster tried to skirt the site rules about posting lost and found for other than items of substantial value, and thread being locked for the same reason)but the locked post got me thinking about it; both my lost stuff and the VFTT...

this is an old fireroad that makes a 3.8 mile arc through some beautiful backcountry just off the main park road in the glades. I chatted it up with a NPS volunteer and got a ride to the first trailhead and planned on waking the 3.8 miles of trail, then crossing the road to another set of trails...

i found this today when trying to plan some photos i want to take of the Hartford skyline. You can print out a monthly calender with the sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset and moon phase for each day. http://www.sunrisesunset.com/usa/Connecticut.asp i found a link to this site for iowa and...

i've been surfin' around a bit looking at alcohol stoves and like this one the best so far. Does anyone own it? Can you post or PM me your experience and opinion of it. Brasslite Turbo II F Stove It can be used in the cold. A very effective wind screen may be easily made. It can simmer as...

The backcountry weather report from the huts is back!!! wooooooo-haaaaaaa! http://www.mountwashington.org/backcountry/index.php its lookin' a bit skinny, but there should be beta from all open huts soon.
