Guy, you are not forgotten. Your spirit lives with every person who traverses Franconia Ridge, finds solace in the woods, and leave no trace.

The Bonds in Two Trips I did the Bonds in two trips (I like to stop and smell the roses as they say). I did West bond from Zealand, bagging Zealand along the way. Stopped at Zeaclifts on the way back and spent a couple of hours enjoying the view and listening to tails from thru hikers.. I...

Ticks....... Ticks.... :D

I'm very very confused (which is normal) Why should I buy a card? If I don't carry a card, have all my equipment, do everything right, and need assistance, I don't get fined. If I do carry a card, have all my equipment, do everything right , and need assistance, I don't get fined. If I don't...

Read this article from outside magazine. http://www.outsideonline.com/news-from-the-field/Forest-Service-to-Charge-Photographers-for-Taking-Wilderness-Shots.html?utm_source=nftf&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=09252014& "Forest Service spokesperson Larry Chambers told the Oregonian that...

ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fine me for taking a picture of a tree. What the hell is the government thinking. THIS IS JUST PLAN STUPID! My tax dollars at work.

I thought all SAR taking place in New Hampshire comes under the direction of NHF&G. I remember reading in Paul Doherty's book "Smoke from a thousand campfires" after a very intense SAR where no one (and everyone) were in command, the New Hampshire Legislators passes a law making Fish & Game the...

The article state "it got dark earlier than they expected". If I remember correctly, it got dark right on time. BUT, because it didn't take place in the "WMNF", no fines will be collected. I'm glad there are no double standards being established...

If the card was good until I had to use it, I would buy one. BUT, every year, SORRY NHF&G. I carry everything I need to spend a night out if I had to. So the only way I could be anywhere near negligent is if the Fish & Game decide hiking solo is negligent. In my mind, solo DOES NOT EQUAL...

Number for NH Fish & Game According to the Appalachian Mountain Club Pinkham Notch, the number you want it 800-552-8960. This is straight to New Hampshire Fish & Game, they are the ones that head any search and rescue operations. Thanks you Lauren, Backcountry Information Specialist, AMC...

Thanks everyone. I finally had some time late this morning and called the "local" number. Yup, it works just fine from Massachusetts. Thanks for all the help. Now if someone can give me the number of a delivery service that would drop off some nice ice cold margaritas on the summits that...

(603) 223-4381 is listed on the web site as "In State and Local", not originating from out of state. Again, the overdue hiker report will be coming from out of state, Massachusetts This is the problem I'm having. I can find all sorts of emergency numbers, but all are either originating from...

I'm updating my list of emergency telephone numbers I leave with my itinerary (specifically while hiking in or around the White Mountain National Forest) to report an overdue hiker. I can't find a number for the New Hampshire State Police to be accessed from out of state (MA) or New Hampshire...

Northern passage compromise? Could this be a compromise?

You are not forgotten Mr. Waterman. You will never be forgotten.
