I have a right ankle issue that requires boots with support. In the past, Asolo Backpackers have been good. I am thinking of getting a new pair, but want to know if anybody knows a brand that has the same quality of support but go higher up over the ankle, like plastic winter boots.

Flume Liberty Loop After this thread, I parked at Basin at 7 a.m. Missed the bushwhack, it wasn't that obvious. I guess if you are looking for the log bridge, it might be easier to locate. But the main trail was only a short way further. Took Flume Slide trail, people had been up it the day...

thanks all.... thankyou all

Can someone walk me through the shortcut to the Mount Liberty trail? Do you park at the Basin? Also, anybody been up the Flume slide lately?

thanks for the info!

Is the road open into Mount Cardigan on the west side in the winter?

For the remotest, Carrigain pond, combined with a bushwhack up the Captain.

Thanks for the info!

When I climbed Mount Caribou the other day, I didn't know that it was named for the last caribou in the region shot on its slopes by two brothers in 1854. Supposedly their names are carved on the summit. Does anyone know where on the summit their names are?

Its like hitting your head against the wall kos it feels good when you stop. Summer will be here soon.

I have had very good luck a few times at the first lookout on the Caps Ridge Trail. Or, you could simply come to my door and knock.

Which reminds me---the Flume in winter. Free, and the loop around to the poet's Pool is always rewarding too, and the view of Liberty and Mount Flume on the way out.

Ossipees The Brook Walk in the Castle in the Clouds property is a good bet for winter. There are a number of falls culminating in Fall of Song, which can do good things with ice. This is not an ice climbing suggestion.

Just out of curiosty, does anyone know of any other new england peaks, or futher afield, named for a woman?

I saw in the in the Conway Daily Sun that Adams 4 had been changed to Abigail Adams. But I just Googled that, and found nothing. Does anybody know where it can be found on the Web?
