I know it's deer hunting season here in MA and all, but what lands are open... So basically, I'd like to know whether I'd be crazy to go for a sunrise hike on Pine Cobble in Williamstown, MA. Does Anyone know if hunting takes place there? I know that nearby Hopkins Forest is officially closed...

gone already? I must have been cooped up to much recently. I've barely seen any. Certainly no full blooms - just scattered ones. Yikes.

It's that time of year again. The mountain laurel is coming. Post your sightings or favorite locations here. I've seen a few blooms by my (long) driveway in northwest CT. Favorite locations: the AT between Mt. Everett and Jug End by the intersection with the Elbow Trail. Also anywhere in that...

Driving Mapquest says 1hour 44 minutes to Salisbury from Ridgefield (76 miles)

Lions Head - Bear Mtn. - Sages Ravine - Race Mtn. - Mt. Everett - Jug End ? Hmm. Kent to West Cornwall. I don't know quite so much detail about this section, but some highlights are, let's see: Caleb's Peak, St. John's Ledges, Breadloaf Mountain, Pine Knob. "Lowlights" would be a few miles of...

Mountain Laurel Down here in CT/SW Mass, I know the incredible mountain laurel spots - you know, bring the friend to the flower and all that. They're better than buying an entire floral shop. That's my plan anyway.

Hmm. If it's morning and in the central daks, Long Lake Diner... If it's NW CT or MA, Bantam Pizza on the way home.

Scotland I'll definitely second Scotland. As already indicated it offers a great variety of difficulties. It's also incredibly beautiful (of course, there aren't any mountainous regions that qualify as ugly in my book, but anyway, it's different). If you spend enough time :eek: you could bag...

little bits eagle: nice quote. Try this one out for size too: "Education is not about filling a bucket; it's about starting a fire." -William Butler Yeats ADackR: it's per se, I believe. And now on to nocturnal hiking. The stars are worth it. The lack of sleep isn't. Maybe they were...

Or... There are quite a few Black Rocks aren't there. There's a Black Rock State Park in the Thomaston, CT area. The Connecticut Walk Book has trail info for it. I don't know much about it. I biked there a few years ago and I understand there are some trails. The CFPA site might lead you...

humorous deer experiences For my first snorting deer experience I was awakened during the night while camped by Fall Stream on the NP Trail. At first I was alarmed, since the closest name I could put on the sound was a sneezing moose. I didn't think a moose (or I) would be too happy to run into...

I've got a pair of Merrell Chameleons that I've had since Sept 2002. That's all I wear for shoes other than sandals for reg. wear - I've worn them just about every day for more than one and a half years. They still have great support, albeit not quite as much as when I first got them. That makes...

Well I can put an early limit on when it happened. I snowshoed through McCanes/No-Wa-Na-Go (or whatever the spelling on that pun-name is) to Stephen's Pond on Monday 16 February and there were no signs then. It definitely was weird walking right between the garage and the house, down the...

Speaking of stupid people met while building a cairn, trail work in general is a good place to watch stupid people. While building bog bridges on the Cascade Brook Trail this summer with an AMC vol crew we were inundated with several groups of them (a.k.a. goofers). We had extracted the rotted...
