Just ordered one. Thanks Rick

Caleb, We spent last Sat. night at the hut. Caretaker had problems getting stove going due to wet wood. Ovens and 40 people keep main room warm enough. Bunkroom was fine with a zero bag. Bring earplugs; snoring can be loud at time. Snow cover is very thin. We bare booted in. Some skied in...

Matt, I have been using MacGPS Pro for over a year now with my Garmin eTrex Vista and OS 10. James Associates Inc. www.macgpspro.com Gary

Lots of great ideas. Sittin on my pack works for me. If I want an extended stay say half hour snooze on a windless day like next to Madison hut.-hello sun! I stretch out my auto windshield reflector pad and use my pack as a pillow. Pads are made of 1/8” polyethylene foam with a piece of...

Earliest places I have found headed up Rt 16 are the 3 Dunkin Donuts that open at 5am and a bakery. Can’t recall the name of the bakery. It is located half way between Conway and N. Conway headed north on Rt 16. Not sure when the bakery opens but I have stopped before 5 for a treat and coffee...

Saw same snakes Hi Jessbee, I probably saw the same 5 or so snakes enjoying the sun yesterday too coming down Dicey's Mill trail. A couple where good size, 1+" dia. 18 or so inches long. Yes, great day for a hike. Talked to you and your husband at Rollins Trail TH. Gary Kittery

Mountian communications OK Keith and David you have convinced me that cel phones don’t hack it for mountain communications, especially when I’m out solo. Just ordered a Kenwood TH-F6A HT. Wow, what an interesting unit! Should arrive today. Now to key in all the repeater and forest service...

Taos Skiing Weatherman you might be in luck skiing. My daughter teaches skiing at Taos Ski Valley. She informs me that the ski area is staying open an extra week(April 10) this season. They have had record snow this season. Rain in CA is Snow in the mountains!

My Knee story Well here goes my knee story: I had down hill hiking pain problem for 20 years. Never could go for long hikes. Five years ago I started taking gloucosamine chondroitin. Wow, it pretty much worked for me. I do take vitamin I before a hike as preventive medicine for...

Sounds like a plan. Paugus Mill Rd in past years has been plowed to last house on the road. That is about about 1/2 mile from TH parking lot. We have parked at that point. A nice loop is to include the Brook trail. Hopefully the trail will be packed down over the week before you go in. If...

Hiked up Chocorua this morning via Champney falls trail. Went over sisters then Westside trail(bad weather trail) them up to top. All were well used with the exception of Westside trail where I had to brake trail in 1.5 feet of snow(trail not used much). The Piper Trail TH parking lot is...
