for the record....I found the knife. :rolleyes:

i went to seattle for the first time a week ago. sadly despite getting stuck there an extra day because of the blizzard in the northeast, i didn't have time to hike. i was already sold on going back to hike rainier though...and that website just made me that much more excited about a completely...

dude i know the feeling. i am completely, entirely, and utterly allergic to wool. i itch, i sneeze, my skin goes crazy. it actually really sucks (because you probably thought it was fun).

does anyone have any experience with crescent moon snowshoes? i was checking out some atlas snowshoes today and these were on the same rack. they look pretty cool--both because they look cool and because the binding looks like it would be easy to operate. i've never seen them on the trails in nh...

Hey Cave Dog! First, congratulations on completing the challenge! Your visits to the Brown dorms made me proud to be a Brunonian--even though had I been in your shoes, visiting my old dorms would have added some distance. Second, I just wanted to say that I really appreciated what you wrote...

those are great! they temporarily made me forget my resolve not to procrastinate today! ;)

I can't say I've done much 'whacking. Nor can I say that I'm it's biggest fan (I tend to swear and have a childhood fear of getting things in my eyes (I have wussy corneas and as a result spent many an hour in the doctor's office getting scratches examined, which has led me to pitch tiny fits of...

I've looked at Title Nine's stuff before and it always looked good...but I didn't know anyone who had worn their clothes. Now that I have confirmation that the clothes are good, I'll have to give them a go. :) And that OR Women site looks intriguing too. Thanks!

I wonder which is more accurate...Disney's Matterhorn or Disney's Everest. :p

i find that if you tattoo a detailed topo map on your arm or leg you can save a few ounces on paper. plus no chance your map will blow away. ;)

I agree! because then you can take the kilkenny ridge trail up and you can spend the whole hike making lame jokes about how you are going to "kill kenny" for not removing blowdowns/making you trip/etc. :rolleyes: not that i would ever do something like that myself. :p plus it's a great hike! :)

i have to second white mountain bagel in lincoln. good bagels. great bathroom. the gas station across the street also has a good bathroom and is a good place to stock up on hiking snacks (it's also one of the few places in the country that i've found chocolate pop tarts which i highly recommend...

My boyfriend (known to all of you as Bruno) got me started hiking. When we met I was in pretty good shape but i hadn't done much hiking (except for a few camp trips that taught me never to bring your toothbrush near the latrine and that bandanas are not a good look for me). For one of our first...
