My sister, Helen Holmes is missing, and hasn't been seen since Friday, Sept. 6, 2013. While Helen isn't a hiker, she is a lover of nature, and spends a lot of time outdoors. She lives in Townshend, VT, and frequents natural areas in southeast Vermont. Helen also has taken trips to the White...

Today I found an SD memory card in a case at the Marlborough Trail trailhead at the base of Mt. Monadnock in Jaffrey, NH. It has some pictures on it. PM me if you lost one.

Today I saw a 30 pound dumbbell next to the trail part way up the Old Indian Trail. I usually pick up litter, but I didn't touch that. Do you suppose someone will be back for it?!!! OK, what's the craziest thing you've found?

Yesterday afternoon I was walking on a trail near my house in Central Mass, when I heard a commotion of birds some distance away. I've been on this trail once or twice before, but I never noticed this. I had surprised a group of turkeys earlier in a hayfield nearby, so I thought it might be...

I've started snowshoing for the first time this winter. I've been going on short trips up to 3 hours around my house in Central Mass, with a trip up Mt. Wachusett. I'm an intermediate hiker in the Whites, and have hiked about half of the 4k's in summer/fall, including the presi's. I usually...

It looks like hiking, peakbagging, and VFTT are recieving some great press from Alpinista's peakbagging AP story in today's papers. It's a great read, right on page 3 of my Worcester Telegram. Here's a link to an on-line version from the Boston Globe. Congratulations, and thanks, for a job...
