    Garmin GPS and the distance "issue"

    I bought a Montana last year. Don't get me wrong, I like it (minus the gargantuan size). There seems to be one issue that has bugged me to death, and from the searching on the internet and the many emails back and forth from their support, I have no answer to the question of inaccurate distance...

    Ever seen RC's on the trail?

    I was hiking with my family today at Burnt Meadow in Maine when we got back near the trailhead, a group of people (8 or so) had their RC's going up the trail. First time I had seen that one. I didn't say anything, Cahulawassee River valley came to mind if you get my drift. They mentioned...

    Need advice on my trail shoes

    Last year I bought a pair of Oboz Sawtooth and really, really like them. The hard sole is great for my feet. My son and I went to Katahdin over the Knife Edge and it was a pleasure. However, the one thing that I find with these particular shoes is that coming down some steep rock face, or if...

    Total Lunar Eclipse 4/15

    I saw this the other day and was thinking I'd like to see it, sure. Then they said it was going to be at 3:46 AM, and I said forget it. Until I thought maybe it would be incredible to see this on top of one of the 4K's. Anyone else thinking this? Looks like (if I am doing my best to figure out...

    Incredibly cool looking mountaineering goggles

    I'm wondering how they perform on the trails though. And of course, what the cost of shipping is. Looks like the conversion is about $200 for the goggles. http://www.atomefabrik.com/pages_goggles/present.htm

    Kinsman, North and South

    A near perfect day to peak bag these two summits. It didn't start off too good though. It was raining at 6:30. Not what I had heard it was supposed to be. It cleared off quick though. The trails were a little mushy. I wore snowshoes all day. I post holed a few times in snowshoes! I didn't see...

    Toe Hammered

    I did something on one of my projects years ago and bruised my big toe so much that it had the nice purple damage under the toe nail for at least 2 years. I noticed something a few weeks back coming down Mt Tom that I seemed to be beating the other toe into the front of my boot, and sure...

    Hancock North and South - March 8, 2014

    I took a trip up the Kanc this morning. White Mountain hiking the 4k's. The parking lot was empty when I left the trailhead at 7:15, but was packed withmore than a dozen vehicles when I returned. It was a fabulous day on the trails. A balmy 28° and near zero wind made for almost T-shirt weather...

    Mount Tom, Field, Willey, and Avalon - March 6, 2014

    About two months ago I went on my last 4K hike. I had a little trouble with that one, tweaked my knee some, and never made it to the summit. Bruised ego mostly. The weather (for me) has not been the greatest to venture out. Plus I have been pretty busy with work to get out. I finally did...

    Trail conditions in spring

    I'm new to winter hiking this year. I started hiking last April-ish for the first time since I was 10 or so and have really got hooked. I didn't think that I would be winter hiking at all, but here I am doing just that. On my way down today I was thinking of a hike I did about a week ago where...

    Mount Crawford - The Davis Path - March 3, 2014

    Trail Conditions: The Davis Path has been kept in impeccable condition. Very few post holes. It almost looks like someone has groomed the trails for the first mile or so. There was a little snow squall this morning that put a dusting on the ground at the base and about a half inch to inch or...
