I'm a little late with this for y'all. NASCAR is in NH again this weekend, plan accordingly. The traffic sucks southbound on Rt 93 Sunday afternoon.

check out this post Big Earl, I replied to a post regarding foot pain a few years ago. http://www.vftt.org/forums/showthread.php?t=29012&highlight=footbeds&page=3 check out post #36 in the thread. It looks like you're on your way to making custom footbeds for your boots. In addition to...

The NH Highland Games are back at Loon Mt, Lincoln, NH this weekend. NASCAR is also this weekend in Loudon, NH. The Games haven't been at Loon for a few years so folks may tend to forget the traffic issues. NASCAR draws a huge crowd too. Just a reminder to those travelling north for the...

Mt hedgehog I don't have my hiking books with me, but Mt Hedgehog out on the Kanc has nice views and is a fairly easy hike. I also like Mt. Potash from the same trailhead.

Contact the Manufacturer You should contact the manufacturer if you're in doubt and think it's only rumor. Are you a member of a Lactose intolerant group? Is there such a thing in your area? My wife and daughter are gluten intolerant (celiac disease). Some foods that are gluten free are...

bootfitting PM sent. I may be able to help. Chip, if you find a good bootfitter it doesn't take many years of trial and error. One can find custom footbeds much cheaper than orthotics from a podiatrist. Professionally sized boots are very important not necessarily custom boots. Jim

stretch the boots to fit I've been away in OKC for a month and haven't read anything with relations with mountians... boots can be stretched. Leather boots and plastic. Hiking boots, hockey skates, ski boots... If you have the right tools it can be done fairly easily. I happen to have the...

We usually drive 112 to Wells River Even in the dark we usually drive 112 to wells river from north woodstock. the campground is less than a mile from the intersection of rts 118 and 112. The drive from Woodsville to North Woodstock is windy and it seems narrow in places. There are some...

The next 3 weekends should be busy on NH highways and routes through the mountains. Next weekend is the beginning of Bike Week. Bike Week ends June 21. NASCAR is the next Sunday, June 28. Consider this your annual warning. Plan accordingly! Don’t let the traffic scare you. if you plan...

happy puppies Stinkyfeet, you’re right not everyone needs extra foot support. “normal” feet usually don’t “need” the extra support, but they do become “happier” feet with the support. DP, you’re right too what is “normal” or “average”? It depends on ones heritage. Normal to me is 5 toes...

bhsf ouch. Did your PT and Doc check the footbed-boot interface? This what I alluded to when I mentioned the Green Superfeet may too flat with no room for the arch in the footbed to adapt to the last of the boot. The manner in which the footbed interfaces in the boot is as important as the...

Ah footbeds! They either fit or they don’t. This is long but hopefully informative. There are 3 types of footbeds; Custom, Semi-custom (moldable), and Trim-To-Fit (TTF). All 3 types do require some sort of “break-in” period. The footbed itself doesn’t necessarily break-in your foot adapts...

Spot? Isn't that what SPOT does? if you can view it on the web you can use a mobile device that connects to the web, such as a web enabled phone. Or does SPOT only send emails?

If you like Chinese food you should try the Imperial Palace in North Woodstock. Don't be put off because you've been hiking. I know the owner is a snowboarder and the bartender is a skier. They don't mind stinky hikers. Just ask to sit in the bar area next to the windows next to Rt 112! The...

oh no! Hey paradox. it depends of the level of intolerance. they may tolerate slight gas pains. this means you suffer from the gas releases!
