Thanks everyone! All the ideas are great...I appreciate the thoughts and if there are more, I'll keep reading! Monadnock is out as it's too much for many of our students, and the idea of an emergency that far from our home base is unappealing. Drive is too far as well and I already stress a...

Hi all, Been a while since I've been here, but thought I'd try to get some ideas about a school hike for the upcoming fall. We usually hike Mt. Wachusett successfully but wanted to see if there's other options to vary the yearly hikes. We are a small special education school (30 kids, 13...

Thanks everyone! Had a great hike and brought along more winter gear than I'd have if I hadn't posted and gotten support. Thanks again.

Just asking for advice on an easy snowshoe route...I've done some hiking in the Whites but not much in winter. I've got snowshoes but was wondering if this is a true winter hike or if it is a bit less intense that up north. Any thoughts would be welcome about the route. Thanks.

Granite Gear packs Check em. Nimbus Ozone is great, but they have others too.

EMS Keene Closing Any skis left at the Keene store? Thanks.

I haven't either but... ...I'd be interested in trying to find it with you. PM me if you'd like some company. GNR

Triptease Because of the tooth it has, Kelty's triptease doesn't slide over branches easily, and when it does, it can cut into tree. Check out the spectra choices at Backpackinglight.com. Really light and tree-friendly. Expensive, yes.

I've got the next 4 days off, and need Owl's Head and W. Bond for my list(then Jefferson for 48). I'd like to do both this week in a 3 day, 2 night backpack, but can't seem to get a plan that I am happy with, mostly because of too much backtracking. What would folks here do. I can do a good...

WMG at Boston Public Library The same thing has happened at the BPL. I have looked at the 1936 and 1940 guides there, and wanted to look at others, but many of them are missing.

I have been hiking/mountain biking in Arcadia Management Area recently...great riding. Anyone familiar with the area know about the abandoned camp structures that exist near Penny Hill? Lots of buildlings are still there and while most are falling down, a couple still live. There is also a...

Lawsuit warning The NH tourism bureau is currently filing a lawsuit against this guy for keeping 4th of July visitors away, including me, as my wife is now protesting my plans to head up north for a couple of days...thanks.
