Here you go folks. Remember, same rules apply as the other quizzes. You map savants need to leave some for others to answer. 1 answer per person, if you know em all, pm me and I'll give you all the cookies and green squares you can eat. Tallyho! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8...

This event should be much much better from the west coast, but it still will be viewable in the east. Set your alarm clocks for EARLY. http://www.mercurynews.com/valley/ci_6729353

I had grand plans on Friday. It's always easy to dream while still in the office at 4pm after a long week. I'm going to hike 6 mountains tomorrow! No, 7! It was to be a solo day since all the bushwhackers were busy or in NH. Also, my girlfriend isn't quite sold on the no trail thing yet. Sooo...

Talking to my parents this evening yielded some bad news. Evidently a man has died from head injuries after taking a fall somewhere in Grafton Notch. He was hiking alone. I don't doubt the credibility of this info since my mother knew the man, but I can't find news online to back it up. If...

So yesterday morning I read the post about the treasure hunt and was rather intrigued. Not by the treasure, but by the riddle. Any problem solving combined with peaks has got to pique my interest. So I emailed the riddle to my hiking buddy (also one of VFTT's newest members under the handle of...

Chances of this one finding a mark are small, I know. After the washing machine post, I know it's not too off-topic though. My crazy idea: Hike up the East Mountain road in N Vermont and longboard down. 4 long miles of summer carving. Who's with me? Who actually has a longboard? Who's says...

Never posed a question like this on VFTT, but I'm curious. We have different generations on here with different interests. Of any outdoor pursuit, which piece of gear has served you longest and best? For me, it's a hand-me-down Svea 123 Sound off!

Late last week I get the email from Marc. He's in need of a place to crash during a weekend of hiking, bushwhacking, and generally knocking out elevation like it's got a glass jaw. I said fine, the couch was his for the taking. When he arrived Saturday evening, I had planned on joining him for...

A couple of locals have told me of an off-trail waterfall on Ascutney, most likely on the northwest side. I was wondering if UnfrozenCaveman, stevehiker, or anyone else with good knowledge of this peak have heard anything about this and have beta.

There's no way this is going to live up to Mats' trip report but heck, some folks will read it. The ever-mountain-voracious marchowes and I were to meet in Manchester early Sunday morning. After navigating the outlet mall that is downtown i felt the call of nature and decided to visit...

Despite the iffy weather outlook, I'm gung-ho for a trip to the north country to snag the Weeks. Let me know if you are interested in coming along.

Assuming no clouds, there will be a total lunar eclipse Saturay evening and should be mostly visible to folks on this site living on the east coast/northeast. Sorry Darren. Check it out here btw, as the article cites, this is the first eclipse since the red sox clinched the title. Only good...

Although he does a mighty fine job chronicling his trips, I had to have a go at one myself. After our Vose Spur trip, we retired to North Conway to lick our wounds. The licking our wounds part was done in the hot tub of the eastern slope inn (told you we'd poach it, but alas for marc, no single...

No, this doesn't have to do with hiking, skiing, climbing, or pub crawling, but it is interesting nonetheless and deserves a look. It is on equinox, involves the simple life, and gives light to the lack of trails on the western side of the peak. Evidently (I didn't know this but others may...

I've been considering schlepping my skis or board up the Burr/Burton trail and skiing down the access road. Needless to say, this will only work if the road isn't plowed during the winter! Does anyone know if it is?

This is my first TR in quite a while, and unfortunately it will be a short one. So I rolled out of bed at 5:30 on Saturday morning in the pitch black. Hopped in the car, and after a quick breakfast at Crossroads Cafe in WRJ I headed up toward Warren, VT and the two fine 4000 footers it hosts...

Does anyone know if this is possible? Has anyone skied down the trails before? I've hiked the AT from the south and across the ridge, over little bigelow, and out, but never been on the Warden's Trail and can't remember the rest. And this is assuming there will be snow at some point, of course.

I know that in 2007, DST will be pushed back into November due to the Energy Policy Act of 2005. I have heard multiple rumors that this change, or one like it, will come into effect this year. Does anyone have more knowledge about this? (Doesn't matter too much. Watches are overrated. Dark in...

I had long been stuck on two 4k's left, North Brother and Zealand, so this trip was a long time coming. I had years of being fanatical about peakbagging, hitting two in a weekend and then getting so stir crazy during the week that I would take off during the week and do another. I had years of...
