Hi all- I'm lucky enough to be moving from MA to CO, more or less permanently, for a job later this summer. :D I have a zillion co-workers who, hearing that I peakbag, have offered to take me up any and all 14Ks that they love. And they love almost all of them. Having heard the tragic news today...

Missed winter by 24ish hours, but had a good hike for #66/67 nonetheless. Snow good and deep above 2500', probably 5 feet+ above 3500' with hiking in the dang canopy. CT skiers: mainly skiable down to 2000' but expect vegetation. Snowshoes very helpful to avoid crotch-deep postholing and to...

Hi all - A friend of mine with kind of funny shaped feet/ankles has a son who is in Scouts and gradually doing longer hikes. My friend wants to get into hiking after many years off (he was an Army Ranger a long time ago) but can't do more then 3-4 miles without a lot of foot pain and blisters...

Hi everyone- My dad and I are planning our joint NH#48 sometime between now and October (yeah, should manage one free weekend sometime in there!) on Isolation, and I'm pushing for a Glen Boulder in-Rocky Branch out loop. Question is, I've found a good bit of info on how to find the bushwhack...

Hit the Blue (Burr & Burton) Trail from the Equinox Hotel parking lot with Tramper Al at 9:40 AM on 12/21 in 8-10 inches of light powder over ice, barebooted the whole way, finished in about 15 inches of powder at 3:30 PM. Few blowdowns in the upper half but nothing bad. Blazing was sparse...

Hi all- going on a trip in a week to the Whites, staying at Carter Notch Hut (first non-winter stay there for me, it will be nice not having to shovel out the bunkhouse) and celebrating my Dad's birthday-shh! I want to bake a cake there, so planning to pack in all necessary stuff. Questions for...

Unbelievably beautiful day. Views from Camel's Hump all the way around to snow-capped Washington and beyond. Gorge Brook mainly snow-free, just a few vestiges of easily avoidable monorail. No snow above treeline. Beaver Brook/Asquam Ridge quite snowy above 3800 ft, with some monorail and some...

Hey all- looking for southern NE snow this weekend to bring the inlaws snowshoeing. They are in Glens Falls NY, so we want to meet someplace in between. There is Southern VT, but looks like there is good snow near Northfield/Erving, MA (closer to us). Never been there in the winter and not much...

Hey- I know this is, like, soooo '90's (or '80s or...) but I have a 10 year old pair of Sorel boots with the removable liners that I really like for non-icy non-steep winter hiking. Trouble is, the liners have just about reached the end of their usable lifespan. Any ideas where others might be...

Hey all- I need some advice that might require some scouring of imaginations. I go with a bunch of people almost every September to Baxter SP, where we rent the Chimney Pond bunkhouse and a couple leantos for a few nights and have fun hiking and climbing and carrying on. Several in the group...

In the past couple of hours there has been a big storm that crossed over and just north of Baxter SP. Winds on radar were estimated at up to 80 MPH. Hope everyone's fine! It will be interesting to see any trail conditions from this upcoming weekend. Weatherman

Hey- going tomorrow AM up Cannon, trying for #60/67. Any favorite ways? Thanks. Weatherman

Hey all- going to try to camp with the family in (or near, if "in" is not possible) Acadia NP the first full week in August for 3-4 days. Looks like Blackwoods Campground is full already, and waiting in line for Seawall with 2 young kids (6 and 8) doesn't sound attractive. Any options nearby...

Hey all- going with my wife and 5&7 year old kids to Cathedral Pines in Eustis for my birthday in two weeks. Though I'd like to do the whole Bigelow Range, I think I'd be solo (permanently???) :eek: So, what recommendations do you have for kids whose idea of a death march at this point is...

Hey- having fallen in love with hiking in and around the Northern Forest areas the last few years, I'm interested in introducing it to my 5 and 7 year old kids. I have a significant even-numbered milestone (yeah, big number birthday) coming up later this summer, and my wife has offered that we...

Wondering if anyone has driven the CVR lately. I am planning to hike Redington Friday and would like to know driveability to the AT crossing and ideally 1.1 miles beyond. Thanks!

Hey, So I'm planning on picking up the last of my ME 4ks in 10 days or so at the front end of a trip with a couple friends. To tell them when I'll meet them, I need to plan backwards. Two things I don't know are: 1) how much mileage to Redington? I have Mohamed's directions and have heard...

Hey- so here's the thing: I haven't hiked since early January due to family schedules, etc. and I'm DYING to get out. I have a meeting in about 3 weeks in Santa Fe, and I have about 3/4 of a day to play before the meeting starts. The ski areas all have their closing day the day before (argh!)...

Too early to tell for sure and too late for this weekend, but it's looking more like the North Country may do well this week (Mon night into Wed). And for once, les Canadiens may have beaucoup de neige to celebrer, at least those south of the St Lawrence. If I had a week at Jay Peak coming up...

While at the summit of Fort the other day I encountered a piece of an aircraft control panel at the summit cairn that looked to be quite old. (sorry, forgot the camera!) I hear there was a plane crash there years ago (when?). It is not the radio, but what I think is a panel with knobs to...
