I did the partials because the medial compartment was the only one in both knees that was damaged enough to replace. It’s a little easier to recover from and I still have 2/3 of both my knees. The partial is easy to transition to a full if I ever need that in the future. The first pic is my...

I bet it'll get use from the public in the Winter, unless they somehow remove it when the hut closes.

I'm almost 15 months post op from bi lateral partial knee replacement. I had no cartilage left in the medial compartment in both knees and it was getting to the point where the day to day stuff was getting laborious, never mind hiking. I was hiking locally after 6 weeks and hiked Zealand at...

It says in the proposal that the tent platform will accommodate up to ten overnight "volunteers". I'm assuming this is going to be for trail maintenance crews and the like and not open to the public.

Has anyone heard any updates on the Lincoln Woods Trail reconstruction project? I'm planning a Pemi Loop this June and while looking for info I came across this: Forest Service . I'm assuming this means that they're announcing their plans in July, instead of the original date which was this...

The North Face has some great mini documentaries. The Denali Experiment Lhotse Down to Nothing

That's great!! I'm four months post op from bi lateral partial knee replacements and I'm looking forward to my first 4,000 footer next month with new knees!

How can we forget this one? I actually liked it. After my first White Mountains backpacking trip in April '92 this was the first thing we saw when got to our hotel in Lincoln and turned the TV on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2NKf-ZycGE

You are correct. It was filmed in Slovenia.

It was actually filmed in Peru and it looks like there's some major embellishing but I'm sure it's a well made movie. Seeing the PVSAR patch on her pack was pretty cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lO0MnhaC3K0

The article states she was hiking with her son, so why was he only in contact with her via cell? Was she lagging behind? Did he ditch her? Weird indeed.

15 hours. April 1992. My first hike in The Whites. Day 4 of a hike that started on the Kedron Flume Trail. The weather went from sunny in the upper 50's to freezing snow/rain and high winds. We camped somewhere on the Twinway between Guyot and South Twin on day 3. We bailed on our plan to head...

Sounds Like A Search And Rescue had a great Podcast about this last week that included a couple of people who helped out with bringing the dog down.

I can remember reading a story about him years ago. He was visiting a friend, who I believe was Joe Dodge, at his cabin in a snowstorm. He was cold so he scooped the ashes to the side in the fireplace and sat down next to the fire to warm himself up.

Pizza pans work well too.

Thank you everyone for the input. I'm not familiar with the fisherman's bush whack. Whereabouts is that?

Thanks. I’m assuming that the snow will be gone by Saturday too.

I was thinking about doing Owls Head Saturday and was wondering if anyone knows if the recent rain has made the river crossings difficult. I think more rain is in the forecast this week and I’m trying to figure out the likelihood of having to wade through ice cold water at the end of October.

Thank you. I’ve never been there so I’m not familiar with the area.

I’ve read a couple of FB posts about hikers from out of state finding their cars vandalized (spray painted, tires slashed) when they get back from hiking. I’m looking to do Cabot next week and I’m concerned since I’m from RI. Does anyone know if this is starting to happen more now that the...
