I also use a Bauerfeind brace, not only for the knee but also for the back. I agree about the comfort and stability.

Thanks. That's good info. I have a feeling it may not be as bad as it feels. I can still walk, with a little bit of a limp. With a knee brace I am able to work my legs at the gym just no squats. With the same brace I can do cycling (Spinning). I find if I sit for long periods of time, like I...

Thanks, he sent his application in.

Hello - Been a member for a while but don't have much time to post. After spending some time in hell (Facebook) and leaving it, it's good to be reading hiking posts, trip reports and looking at hiking pics once again. Unfortunately, I don't get up to the Whites as often as I would like so I...

What a great retirement job this would be. I love Pittsburg and have always considered Magalloway to be one of the most underrated hikes in NH. Unfortunately I'm still a few years away from retiring.

Thanks to you all for the helpful responses. I will pass this thread along to him. Much appreciated.

Greetings - My son is a sophomore in college and he recently applied for a Backcountry Caretaker position for the summer. The position is based out of Pinkham Notch. He loves hiking and we've both done Tuckerman's Ravine many times along with a few other trails in the Joe Dodge Lodge area. He...

I say hello on the trails more than I do in the hallway at work. Being on the trails brings out the best in people.

Greetings - Going hiking July 5th on the Tuckerman Ravine Trail. I usually hike it every year with my son but two years ago he had some problems with his feet (growth issue) and last year the bridges were out so we opted for Low's Bald Spot. Can I assume that the bridges are complete? I did...

:D In the meantime keep practicing on us.

Good job! Lot to be said for 3000K footers. Some have better views than many 4Ks.

I imagine that eventually most people grow too old for a lot of activities. With hiking I think as long as the person is in good physical shape and has a daily workout routine that some degree of hiking will always be reasonable for them. IMO, the individual's mental health should be more of a...

Great picture on top of Mount Cabot. I'm an Army veteran. Please accept my thanks to your son for his military service.

Thanks for posting this. I'm heading up there tomorrow.
