I work for Onset Computer on Cape Cod. That picture is a solar radiation shield with a 4 channel datalogger on the inside. It probably has soil moisture and/or temperature sensors attached.

I got started late. My wife, baby daughter, sister inlaw and her boyfriend were camping at Lafayette Place Campground (1979). The girls wanted to go to the beach, we decided to go hiking. We went up Cannon, I enjoyed it so much we went up Lafayette and Lincoln the next day. Been hiking since :cool:

I have only seen one on the road. It was a 2wd toyota pickup in Boston. We both noticed each others stickers and waved. I haven't seen any on the Cape where I live. Got one on my truck, green 4wd Toyota pickup and one on my kayak.

Fisher Cats A Fisher Cat was found on Cape Cod yesterday. It was dead on the side of Route 130 in Sandwich. If they are not native to the Cape, does that mean they walk over the bridge at night when nobody is looking? :confused:

Tanzania, Just got back last week, summited Kilimanjaro on July 22nd. We did a 3 day safari after the climb. Beautiful country and beautiful people. :)

For me it was Old Speck (twice). The first time we had snowshoes and were breaking trail, crawling over and under trees. We ran out of time about 1/2 mile from the summit. The second time I made the summit, my nephew quit about 1/4 mile away. The third time, (yes I went back again) I quit about...

I would like to do the Horn and the Bulge this weekend. I prefer to go in Unknown Pond Trail off Mill Brook Rd. in Stark. Does anyone have directions to this road and would it be open?

Some favorites from Longs Peak, Colorado 9/12/04 and Banff and Jasper National Parks, Canada 9/25-10/2 2004 favorites

Kilimanjaro Great trip report, we have plans to go next July. We will have 7 days on the mountain. I hope it's enough time to acclimitize.

Longs Peak There was a little bit of ice left over from last year, and they had 2-4 inches of new snow a couple days before. It was warm on Saturday and by Sunday most of it was gone. The rangers are very conservative and had posted technical conditions for Sunday. I guess they're just being...

Hiked Longs Peak in Colorado on 9/12/04. Arrived in Denver thursday night, stayed at an airport hotel. Friday we rented a car and drove up to Rocky Mountain National Park, we hiked up Estes Cone (11006') for an acclimitization hike, 7.6 miles r/t. Saturday we drove up Trail Ridge Road to...
