I'm camphosting in Oregon. There was a thunderstorm the day we arrived, a month later we had a cold snap and it rained for three days...and that's been it since may 10th. We are expecting firebans to go into effect soon. I thought it was a great Summer gig until 4th of July week. We are on...

The GF and I planned on maybe hiking the Crawford path up to Pierce or Eisenhower, possibly stopping at Mizpah Spring Hut to check it out. Then, I looked at the Higher summit forecast. 100 mph gusts is not something I think we would enjoy. Now our sights are set on a just a day trip to enjoy the...

My GF and I finally had a weekend to finish hiking the Eastern half. We started at Puzzle Mountain, after spotting a car at GNSP parking lot, around noon. The temps were in the upper 80's, it was muggy and the black flies were out in full force. The trail is in good condition with just one large...

Spent the weekend with TNC at Maine Huts and Trails and apparently left my cars keys behind...somewhere. Anyone see any?
