I usually attach stuff that I find on the trail to the outside of my pack, it seems to make it easier to find the owner if they can see their gear hanging there. :) Although I did have to backtrack half a mile on the way to Owl's head after realizing one of a pair of found Crocs had fallin...

I don't really care about the crowds either way anymore. I have used the restrooms and if the restaurant wasn't there I would never have known what a Whoopie Pie looks like or more importantly what happens when your sister asks for a "little taste".

The Shuttle Connection card says "Wherever to wherever, whenever" 603-745-3140 I ended up not needing them so I have no actual experience. Thanks Lei :)

If it's happened more than once it's probably not something you did and if it was the bag I don't think it would vacuum. It sounds like the sealing strip may not be working properly. I would seal in some ice cubes, melt them and see if the water can be pushed out through the seams. It might...

Great Pictures!!! Looks like a years worth of temp changes in there :eek:

Thanks for the update. I'm sorry to hear that they didn't get to summit, but glad they are ok and having a good time.

For me it hasn't been only what winter gear I haven't used. XC skis a couple of times in not so good conditions. Snowshoes once. Mittens and parka not at all, etc. But, how much summer gear I have used. Shorts and t-shirts with a pull-over fleece way too often. Oh well, there's still time and...

This past Saturday between Washington and the hut I tried the "excuse me" method. I caught up with a hiker and stayed behind him for 15 seconds or so and when he looked at me but didn't step aside I politely said "excuse me, can I get by" and then thanked him. From his sort of "you're welcome"...

:o :o :o Congratulations!! I was there in spirit :D I got a late (real late start) so I figured I'd just go up the Kinsman Ridge trail until I met up with the group and hike back out. I know I couldn't make it in time and my boots were still wet from the Presi Traverse Saturday (Jefferson...

I'm interested in the 20th. Any chance you'd want to start a bit earlier?

I use Woolite on gentle cycle too. But I use Biz rather than chlorine bleach. I think it's easier on the threads and it's got enzimes that seem to help with the odors. I concur with the air dry. I use this same process on my wicking shirts with good results.

According to this they have been reunited. :) Good to hear.

It felt like more than 700 feet of elevation to me too. At least 850, maybe 900 :D

Great trip reports, and pictures. And congrats to Hikerbob on number 47. MJ you were missed at the Mooseland.

Congratulations. Great job and a wonderful peak to finish on. Also, congrats to Kathy for finishing her 48 on Owl's head Saturday And Mark for finishing his today? on Wildcat.
