I was watching a video yesterday produced by a northbound thru-hiker. He had footage of coming out of the woods and following the AT adjacent to the "swath". My first impression was, "gawd, what an eyesore". Anyway, the trail parallels the swath for some distance. No buffer etc. You would...

The Mt. Washington Road Race ran a short course (finish line part way up) on Saturday due to adverse summit conditions. Fitz

Many years ago, there was a trail to the summit from the ski area. I am not sure it still exists, but it sounds like the group in the article were headed that way and then cut off by the ski patrol.

I'm thinking my Labrador could whoop him. Fitz

Not really. That work looked mostly at large bodies of granite (batholiths) and homogeneous bodies of rock for secure storage. This deposit was identified as a result of the habit of large timber companies surveying their land for economic deposits prior to selling.

Bears are very difficult to hunt. They cover much ground, are stealthy, nocturnal to some degree, etc. etc. How many times have you seen a bear (one that isn't accustomed to humans and visiting shelters) while hiking? Bait and dogs are allowed so that the population can be managed. Don't...

After spending much of the winter debating the tent issue, I broke down and parted with the money for the Copper Spur UL. I had many of the same concerns you do, and probably read the same reviews. I just got it yesterday, so I have nothing to report on performance. I certainly hope it holds...

I worked on the Moat Range one summer in the late 1980's. The access then was a drive through an adjacent field. Rarely was parking an issue and I often had Diana's Baths to myself even in mid-summer. The same for the original South Moat Trail access point - very few cars. I am not really...

Maybe there is no need to re-introduce? DNA from MA. http://www.telegram.com/news/20161129/petersham-owner-of-injured-horse-says-it-was-mountain-lion-attack

The mineral is likely labradorite. The rock is likely anorthosite. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anorthosite

The Google Earth image mentioned in the article makes the word "spooky" an understatement.

A mountain lion sighting was also reported on Saturday in Wayland, MA.

A passing motorist has reported what she thought might be a dead mountain lion in the median of the MassPike near Becket, MA on Sunday. See my earlier post about my son's live sighting a week ago Friday. Maybe it is someone hoaxing my post on the New England ML Sighting forum, but it doesn't...

My son is traveling on the Masspike tonight. He just called me and said he saw a mountain lion next to the highway in Beckett, MA, westbound. 7:20 PM. He is 15 years old, but a hunter, and outdoorsman. I asked if it had a tail, and he said, "yes". At first he thought he was seeing an...

Ancient History here: 27 years ago and about that many pounds ago too. 1986, 9th Place, 1:08:38. http://mountwashingtonroadrace.com/results/results-1986/ My advice - don't let up on the hill. Good Luck.

Thank you for all the advice. I passed it on and I know they bought one - I just don't know which one!! Cheers, Fitz

A friend of mine is looking into purchasing a solo tent. The person doesn't do much backpacking, but does canoe trip, so weight is less of an issue. Any suggestions on brands and where to buy? Thanks in advance. Fitz.

After a couple of days, the Customer Service folks came through and I was able to obtain my photos. Cheers, Fitz

I had 1,400 photos and one video. So far all I got back was one video. Sux.:mad:

Framingham, MA I heard a radio report this morning that a woman saw a mountain lion in her backyard yesterday in Framingham, MA. Maybe the Concord Cat is touring suburbia?
