This Monday I hiked up Rattlesnake in Rumney with my friend. On the way down the loop, I had to visit the woods for a minute, and I saw a herd path heading north along the ridge. We decided to follow it way. It was marked with yellow tape, and had been cleared a little, but was rarely used. It...

One the shore of the East Branch and also on Cedar Brook, there are boulders with a reddish tinge where high water would hit them. My first assumption was that it was an algae, but a friend suggested it could be iron. Or it could be both. Does anybody know?

Bare booted to summit in reasonable conditions. Snow cushioned footfalls, no ice underneath. Ate lunch on summit in no wind and fabulous views as clouds rose from valley. Over-ruled a Watson Path descent, it would have been crazy. Used microspikes on desent to hut and half way down Valley Way...

If you drive through Meredith,NH you will see many signs that say Save Page Pond and Forest. I decided to take a walk in there. I parked at the end of the road where Moultonborogh Farm is off Rt 25, amd walked in the dirt road. In a quarter mile I turned right on a path and found myself on the...

I normally wouldn't write in the New York section, since I am a White Mountain groundhog, but myself and my hiking buddy Bob Gordon are concerned about somebody. About a month ago, John Hayes from North Conway drove out to a meeting of the ADK at Adirondack Loj. He hasn't come back. I...

I'm trying to post pictures with my comments and haven't figured it out. Anyone up for a step by step explaination of getting photos from Windows Vista to a post? Language in WV for Dummies too complicated. How about using the language found in Windows for One Celled Creatures?
