Does anyone have any recommendations for brands or styles of women's hiking boots in small sizes? My sister-in-law wears a size 5 or 5 1/2 and has had some trouble finding a good pair. She has resorted to using children's boots in the past, without any real success. She usually does day hikes in...

Unstrung, I actually have to manage headaches while hiking as well. In my case (of course your situation may be totally different), I believe it is related to blood sugar. To combat the headaches, I eat snacks with a decent amount of protein in them. I also think that sports drinks are helpful...

Thanks for the sling info, Trish. On the topic at hand, I tend to be a faller (I can admit this to myself at this point), so I would personally be very careful about the trails I took while carrying a baby. My husband, on the other hand, is definitely not a faller, so we would probably use a...

Early Bird and Trish, do you have recommendations for the types of front carriers that work the best on hikes (like Baby Bjorn vs. sling, etc.)? I know everyone is different, but I am just doing some research (baby due in a few months), and I would love to hear your opinions on that--or anyone...

Yvon, those are gorgeous photos--looks like a great time.

Just because I prefer vanilla ice cream, it doesn't mean I don't occasionally like to have a scoop of chocolate. :) I always do the same route on Moosilauke, because I think it's so pretty. It's kind of like always ordering the same dish at a favorite restaurant--you like it too much to try...

Here is some info about border crossings from the Department of Homeland Security: http://www.getyouhome.gov/html/lang_eng/index.html

eruggles--Did you ever figure out where you got your Massabesic map? Thanks.

If I can see that there is separate stitching for the label, I've found that a seam ripper is very helpful in removing it.

any photos? Any (non-location-disclosing) photos of the bog? It sounds like an interesting place.

Smarties: depends on where you are In Canada, Smarties are candies not unlike M&Ms. Not sure which version of Smarties Neil is referring to; not sure it'd make a difference in that particular recipe.

Altitude sickness on Mt. Kenya If I did it over again, I'd be more fussy about both my guide and my itinerary. I'd ignore the "typical" hiking itineraries that are designed to get you up, down, and out as quickly as possible, and I would fork over the bucks (or Kenyan shillings) for a...
