watch this I threw that watch away because it was metric and I couldn't read it. I am saving up to get a remote-control watch so I don't have to get up to set it. I have an old sundial in my basement. I go down and check it every week, but it has apparently stopped.

Imp shelter I stayed at Imp this week and there was no caretaker and no fee. Only in the summer. There is a west lookout about 50 feet from the shelter. The sunset over the presi's was awesome on Tuesday.

I found a pair of glasses on Moriah Brook Trail today. After much agonizing, I took them with me. It didn't appear that anyone was nearby or that they were just dropped. It looked like they were there through yesterday's rainstorm but not too much longer than that. If no owner is located, I'll...

I wear asics trail running shoes and enjoy being "light in the loafers". My pack weight keeps getting lighter; about 22lbs last time. My boots are reserved for winter now. I even did Chocorua via Champney Falls with Chaco sandals (with wool socks and liners) without a problem. I believe that...

My wife and I just bought new packs. She got a Vapor Trail and I got a Ghost. We took them up the Osseo Trail and camped Mon-Tues. We both loved our packs. The Vapor Trail handled Megan's 25lb load with no problems. I had 22lbs. We both remarked that we forgot that we had packs on! We did some...

everybody's right 100% cotton dries too slowly and chilly-ly for me. It has never killed me, as far as I know, but it has made me shiver. Polyester and other "wicking" fabrics I've tried enhance my natural aroma to the extent that I can't stand my own presence. And they're pricey, too. I now...
