I have been using the Garmin Vista HCx for about 2 years, and it is way better for reception than my previous Garmin 76CS.(couple generations difference) I am not a fan of the joystick, and the screen seems smaller than my previous GPS. (I am too lazy to check) I actually prefer the form...

Over the past year of so one of my brothers and two nephews have been hiking some of the 4000 foot mountains. My nephew Matt became obsessed about some viewpoints or obscure mountains.....Like one, He was talking about Hix Mountain near Tecumseh, which could be interesting.....But I was like...

You are stupid...well that isn't nice....but too bad!...:P

Looking at the Baxter State misson statement....The park is for the wild animals and the land 1st, Maine Residents second.....and others 3rd....I am sorry Governor Percival Baxter's gift is not good enough for some people. Some people don't like the rules, but there are more rules you have to...

I am still waiting for the 1st ever thread never to mention "map and compass" when someone starts a thread with "GPS" in it..... Sadly the world is not ready for such crazy talk.....

Rup, We hiked it in early July 2008.... Yes, at the right you are talking about, we went about 3 miles on that road...At the 3 miles-ish there is a road on the left. We parked here at around 2670-ish feet.....You actaully get over 2700 feet, but near the 3 mile mark drop down a little bit in...

I have a gps google earth track of the road and the trail we took up Abraham from the South last year. My brother has harder hiking conditions in Afganistan right now though from when we did Abraham. It is on my crappy undone website Abraham You have to click on the picture that mentions the...

I think you are looking at this wrong.... It was stated what if the person had an emergency and needed to drive away, and he/she was booted. Or we can look at it as...What if the no parking zone is for emergency vechicles for when there is an emergency on the mountain... This person could...

The only thing that bugs me is (which has been mentioned.) They always have enough money to immediately scrape blazes off trees, remove bridges, and devote resources to taking out unruly cairns...... To me it seems there is someone in the ranger district that is using her/his job to push...

Use your timer on your camera.....it is much easier.....And you don't have to talk to those stupid homo sapiens.

There is an article in the February 2009 National Geographic magazine about Mount Washington. The online link to the article is here. There are some pictures in the photo gallery to the upper left of the article too. I know boring post.....Reminds me what it must feel like to be JayH.

Hot Cheese and Birdbath summited late Friday afternoon, and saved the rain for the last part of the descent. They will become official Mass-holes again in about two hours.

I think driving up Maine roads as far as you can is half the fun. Making it over the metal bridge is easy(3.9 miles or so), but some people park at the parking on the left before it. At the next wooden bridge (4.1 miles or so) you need to mess with the rocks and wood to get over if you have a...

I heard this story. There is this fish Jeffrey Lebowski, otherwise known as the “Dude”, or His Dudeness... Duder... or El Duderino, if, you know, you're not into the whole brevity thing…….which haunts Scar Ridge in New Hampshire. This Betta fighting fish was known for its negative behavior and...

18 days of insanity Tmax?........big deal, I have had a whole life of insanity. My HMO does not cover a hike to Cascade Mountain. It only covers a hike with JayH or HarryK, and that is like getting the ebola virus.

As a master frogman from serving 30 days on the Steve Zissou research ship Belafonte.....I would say it is green and a blob.....and that it could be from the Jaguar shark.

Going thru Avalanche Lake is the biggest no brainer (Well, besides everyone not liking JayH.) hike to combine or just do on its own merit. And Colvin's small summit is a nice vantage point.

Hey Darren. I think it would cool to have the NOAA charts on a GPS. I saw this site that has the NOAA charts on a Google map. Of course a GPS screen will be much smaller. But you get the idea of what it would be like.

I feel bad that Darren had to hang out with Toe Cozy and Chip. That would suck. It is like getting your own mainland Spam. Darren must have drank lots of the Doctor to numb the pain. That is always a good prescription.

It kind of pisses me off. The one animal that is left handed, and the government does not want to protect it. That is total discrimination. Us left handers have been called evil and sinister through the ages.....We are, but that is besides the point. Now we are not worthy of taking some...
