If you're anywhere near Littleton I bought a Patagonia down sweater for 50% off at the Summit Shop in Littleton. Apparently they move any leftovers with discontinued colors upstairs to the bargain area. Great deal, $100 vs. $200 and this jacket is super packable and quite warm.

Hey Mark: Great meeting you on Saturday. Hope to see you on trail again soon. SS

Thanks to all for a great day, had a blast. Loved how well Zoe and Terra got along, like they had been hiking together for ever. Anyway, hope to see you all on the trail again soon. Big ups to Bob and Jerry for the after party, exceptional hosts!!!

Thanks everyone, just bought mine too. And it will get a workout next week!!

Does anyone own a MSR hubba hubba? If so would you be kind enough to offer up an opinion, good, bad or indifferent? Thanks in advance for sharing the wisedom!!

I hate to see any taxes or fees go up but, NH does more with less than any other state I'm aware of so I won't lose any sleep over this.

Everyone deserves one great dog in their lifetime. Although I never met Genie it seems she may have been yours. I know how you must be feeling, they are family with four legs. My deepest sympathy.

I think the funiest piece of unsolicited advice I ever received was from a group of Boy Scouts heading up Lafayette from Greenleaf. It was mid May, I'm quite certain it was the weekend the hut opened, and I had just completed traversing the ridge from Falling Waters. It was nasty up high; about...
