Is the trail itself in decent shape? Last couple of times I tried it, it seemed to have become a permanent water feature for substantial stretches, including just past the monument (going up).

That would be "rt.com"
It hasn't gotten quite that bad, yet.
I see the button to report the specific **** messages, but I'm not seeing a button to report the entire thread?
No map, flashlight, food, warm clothing, or plan. White Mountains, late November. Temperatures in the low teens, snow.
What could go wrong?
I am the only (totally reprehensible) person who read the thread title as referring to something else.
I just move along, without comment. Except for the ones playing loud music.
Nonsense. You should be ashamed of making up wild stories.
He was abducted by the space aliens common to that area (they're fascinated by the disappearing bridge) and he's embarrassed about the...
I was pretty surprised with the Franconia Ridge last mid-week. Great weather (some brief showers) but very light traffic in my hours-long dawdle all along the entire ridge. Then I couldn't get across...
I'm struggling right now even with the idea of using the shuttle services, individual people's cars. I do that all the time, and I'm sure they are wiping down and wearing masks (and I will) but still...
" It's within earshot of a stream for the first 2 miles. You'll have to go off trail 100-200 feet and drop 50ish feet to access it."
After the close approaches to the stream right near the start,...
There's apparently no truth to the silly rumor that the AMC is going to have it dropped on the top of Lafayette and charge $147.50 admission.
Looks like it's going to be a flat $150.
Which reminds me that there is an always-flowing stream after you've pretty much bottomed out coming down from Garfield and have been walking flat for awhile.
I have a tenuous recollection that I...
Going downhill S-N, with the Pond coming into view on your left and the old shelter site opening up on your right, about 100 yards before the bottom of the sag there is a path leading down to a rocky...
I just did the Molly Route from the foot of the Bondcliff Trail to the Thoreau Falls Trail for the first time in years, with a newer GPS to check old data, and things are pretty much as I reported...
Not worth a new thread, but I just did the Molly Route and then up Thoreau Falls Trail for the first time in a couple of years, and the Thoreau Falls Trail is pretty much dissolving into the...
Last year on closing day, cooking all the leftover food, it was turkey sandwiches as I remember. But the person I talked with was very careful not to be "selling" them. There was the tip jar and...
Before the BPB became the clear end-to-end footpath it is now, I did it a couple of times lower down to the east and that whole area in between the BPB and the Fisherman's seemed a wet boggy mess...
Is it practical to leave the Black Pond Trail just south of the Pond and head directly east to Franconia Falls? I was tempted to try that on a recent hot day.
I know there are traditional...
Found Monday July 15, 2019. At least that's what I think it is. I thought it might be some important piece of medical gear so I wrapped it up and carried it home. But a search shows it's probably...
Actually from the Broadway Musical and subsequent movie. The original oft repeated quote from the comic strip was less inspired: What's good for General Bullmoose is good for everybody, or something...
Reminded me of the General Bashington T. Bullmoose quote "What's good for General Bullmoose is good for the USA!" The General was not a big fan of regulation either.
Agreed. Terrible to see this. I"m embarrassed for them as they're not nearly as great as I am.

Descend S and then SE, staying on the rock outcroppings. Tiny bits of scrub in between. The views are even better lower down because of the perspective and because the slope...

Here you have a choice. The Northrup tends to stay up on the ridge to the right (N), while the pink-tape blazed trail parallels it slightly downslope to the its left (S). I'm...
Here's a hike in that general area I used to like; haven't done it in 7 years so who knows. I've heard the light-blue trail may have had its blazes obscured because the slope was too steep (it...
