Today at dusk, "as the sun sinks in the west, bringing the season to a close, the full Harvest Moon will rise in the east, heralding the start of fall. The two sources of light will mix together to create a kind of 360-degree, summer-autumn twilight glow that is only seen on rare occasions."...

I was wondering who uses Twitter for hiking information. I really like Twitter and although I dont Tweet (post outgoing comments), I follow a bunch of hiking and outdoor related accounts on a daily basis; @HikeNewEngland - Twitter account for a VFTT style hiking BBS @OrvisPodcast - fly fishing...

A question for the Canadien VFTTer's (or Americans in the know)... I'm hoping someone can help me with some info on the area north of Quebec City, les Reserve Faunique des Laurentides. I noticed that there are a lot of forest roads which (supposedly) lead to backwoods lakes off of Rte 175 to...

Can anyone recommend a hotel near Yellowstone and/or Grand Tetons? Not necessarily a cheap place, but maybe a place you know of that's a good value. We'll be coming in from the west. Maybe some place in West Yellowstone, Mt? Also, are there any part of those parks that aren't too crowded in...

Not really sure this is relevent but a news camera in Tennessee caught video of a rockslide coming down a mountain and burying a two lane road, Rt 64. Very powerful and impressive. raw footage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVYGJYnJTi0 news report http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39LCzBS8yOM

Hi, I'm scheduled for hip replacement surgery for December 3rd. I was wondering if anyone has had any experiences with this as far as things to look for (or lookout for), recovery or insurance stories, or anything else. I'm already looking forward to next spring when (hopefully) I'll be able...

I havent seen the NASCAR traffic warnings posted in the group for this weekend so I'll do the deed. Northbound morning traffic and southbound late afternoon traffic on Rt 93 is likely to be heavy. bob

Two nights ago, we were awakened by a pack of coyotes very close to my house. This was the third time this week we've heard them, the other two times were in the morning. And twice today, I saw a solitary coyote trotting down the road in Nash Stream Forest. I saw a grey one heading in, then a...

I had a great day in Pittsburg last week. I caught (and released) an obscene amount of brook trout, and had a couple of moose encounters to boot. I happened to be packing the videocam with me that day so I thought I'd share the results. The first meeting was while I was on Indian Stream. Two...

I'm planning a trip up north - way up north - to the crown of Maine, in the Fort Kent/Allagash area and I'm looking for some information from people who've been there. I'm going up for fishing, paddling, exploring, and hopefully hiking, although I'm not sure if there are any real trails up there...

Thought this info might be timely for those of you headed to Pinkham Notch tomorrow. They opened the road this past Tuesday. Apparantly, this is as early as it's ever been open.

Hi, I've got a couple of weeks to kill so I'm going to pack up the truck and head up to Maine for a few days, mostly in seach of bareboot hiking (ahhh, spring!). Does anyone know if there's any snowcover on coastal Maine from Bar Harbor to Calais? I've looked at a couple of snowcover maps but...

We're heading out next week for 7 fun-filled days in the desert - our honeymoon, actually - and want to know if any of you VFTTers have spent time in 4 corners. We're flying into Albuquerque and heading northwest from there to the Farmington area. We thought that would be a good staging area...

Hi, I plan on going into Evans Notch tomorrow and was wondering what is accessible and how to get there. How far north could I drive on Rt 113? Can I get as far as the Spruce Hill Tr or is it gated south of that? Also, how far south could I drive from Rt 2 until I hit the gates? Just trying...

It'll run on eBay again starting Tuesday, Nov 25. Has anyone heard if the RMC is running an auction this year? http://www.outdoors.org/conservation/trails/auction/?tr=y&auid=4241555

Speed thru the forest along zip lines. Features NO UPHILL WALKING!! Sounds like something we can all support... http://www.newhampshire.com/article.aspx?articleid=2495

Hi, Considering the tight economy, I just wanted to let everyone know - hikers driving up from south of Manchester especially - that the Tilton exit off of Rt 93N is a great morning pull off for gas ($3.499 yesterday), and food (Dunkie's, Subway, Tilt'n Diner all within a stones throw of the...

Hey, Any suggestions for brewing a good cup of coffee in a jetboil? I've tried those tea bag style brews - no good - and instant doesn't cut it either. Should I just throw a hand full of grounds in the pot? Anyone have any good ideas for this? bob
