    Story from Tucks 1952 (Deaths)

    I just happened on this video and had never seen it before. Found it pretty interesting. If its existence is common knowledge I apologize.. The use of the term "ice block" is a little off putting however. Snow blocks? I own a old Army mountaineering snow saw and don't think I would like...

    Wolves in Maine (no mountain lions yet)

    One of the camera shots from my backyard was verified as a Northern Gray Timberwolf. The other was a suspected Wolverine, but not confirmed. I put in a shot of one of the local Coyotes for comparison. And of course a bear.

    Trouble on the Ridge (again).

    Thinking about so-called "nanny state" restrictions and their application hear in the East stirred up my 83 year old memory cells: A couple of years ago myself and two buddies drove and ferried up to Newfoundland to backpack the Long Range Traverse across the Long Range Mountains beginning with...

    How do we keep folks from hiking Saturday?

    Back in the 1950s NH used to have "Woods bans" during high fire risk periods. I wonder how that was accomplished and how effective they were. I remember them when I was living in Gilford and going to high school in Laconia and was still too young to drive. I think that loggers and hunters...

    I found it interesting that the Labonville on-line catalog lists Limmer Boot Grease for sale. Seems now I don't have to drive the 200 miles round trip over to North Conway when I need more.

    An Ode to a Slow Slog in Heavy Boots

    I used my Limmer standards for my every other day 7 miles down the ridge my house is on and back up this summer when I was getting shape for a return to the Camino De Santiago in September.
