As we all know, Baxter has a pack in pack out policy...was curious if anyone knows of any good dumpster sites in the nocket, so carrying trash 350 miles back home doesn't have to happen in the future. I would be willing to toss a business owner a few bucks for dumpster use...just curious if...

My family and I spent a nice 4th of July weekend up in the Woodstock area with Darlene and her 2 grandsons. The kids range from 4 (Tucker) to 8 (Taylor) and my son Conor is 5. We arrived Friday up at the campground and I was pleasantly surprised to see Stev-O there waiting on Darls site – he...

I am going to be in the whites with the family the 4th weekend. We are doing other things besides hiking, but one of the days I am planning on taking my son (5yr) on his first 4k'er. It will be something in the easy range and the pace will be at the slow/moderate range with many stops to...

My favorite climbing pack lost a side compression strap. not sure how it happened, but it got cut (maybe an ice axe, etc..) and I had to cut the rest off. I would hate to buy a new pack as I like this one and with the exception of that, its in great shape... I can't sew and have no interest...

so, a few of us saw a car with a booted tire in baxter that was in a no parking zone...at or near a trailhead I thought this was odd and maybe a bit overkill. Ticket - sure, but a boot? what would have happened inf that person needed the car in an emergency and couldn't drive it away...

Warning: Long trip report, long winded and lots of adjectives used…but it’s the Alps... Chamonix- Mont Blanc: The place is legendary. The greats of climbing have all come and cut teeth here before moving on to the Himalayas to bang out first ascents. Bonnington, Doug Scott, Messner, Joe...

hi all - I very rarely have blistering issues. I am considering the green superfeet insert for more cushioning, and a small heel lift, etc.. I think its time I start using ex-factory insoles as after long days (15 miles+) my feet are sore - but not bistered:)... heading out on a long hike...

Conditions: 3/14 Abol bridge to Abol Campground is barebootable - very hard packed and ideal for sled hauling. Abol trail to base of Abol Slide - well packed trench - we wore snowshoes, but could be barebootable. Abol slide - mostly hard snow with small crust on top, or rock and ice after...
