Hi- I'm an infrequent hiker in the whites, there sporadically thru the seasons & just returned from doing Welch-Dickey on Friday and the Boulder Loop yesterday. We were blessed with great weather especially yesterday. I'm a month into iPhone ownership (G3s) and a couple weeks using MotionX GPS...

Having caught the hiking bug & learning the So.NH opportunities from the family camp in Epsom, and had a great time in Pawtuckaway, back again ( 1st time with a local friend late Oct - then 2nd joined up with Kevin - Jude & Emma two weeks ago) Unseasonably crisp morning - VFFT Joe...

I'm from Plymouth, MA and as much as I enjoy hiking the whites, Dad has a camp in Epsom ( between Concord & Portsmouth ) staying there & getting in some good hikes - not necessarily views - theres Pawtuckaway & Bear Brook ( I've never done ) and Blue Job ( I did years ago ) any suggestions -...

Friday up on the summit of Monadnock we had a spectacular view - Pack Monadnock, Wachusett, Quabbin, the Berkshires, the Whites and the Boston skyline. But I was trying to get a view of Sunappee, Kearsarge, Cardigan and couldn't place them. A few years ago I had found a website that gave a...

I'm a bit stuck here. I'm pretty good at navigation - but find that the formats that lat/lon can be given in a bit frustrating. I use in my 2 gps units Degrees & minutes - but its common to find coordinates just in degrees. And back in Boy Scout days we learned of course by DMS. I'd expect...

I'm new to snowshoeing, and very happy with my Yukon Charlie 930's and my Atlas 1030's. A friend just had me over to try these against the MSR Lightning Ascents. Their strength seemed to be their very low weight, replacable straps, and overall crampon style. But they just don't have the surface...

I'm relatively new to hiking & snowshoeing locally here in SE Mass; also an avid sea-kayaker. I've wondered for some time when do you have good usable moonlight, near full moon. What I'm getting in simple terms is to figure 3hrs past moonrise. I like www.saltwatertides.com for their moonrise &...
