    Does anyone know of any hikes that include a ghost town?

    I was surprised to learn on New England Chronicle recently that Vermont has ghost towns. Sure Enough, http://www.ghosttowns.com/ lists ghost towns in New Hampshire and Vermont. At least one of them says you can't get there on a 4-wheeled vehicle, which makes me think some of them might be...

    New Hampshire snowshoeing links

    I'm psyched that I think I can finally go snowshoeing this weekend. Since I am always wondering about the same things in relation to snowshoeing in New Hampshire (Can I snowshoe yet? How far north do I have to go?) and others post similar questions; I put together a page with some relevant...

    Morbid (but for a reason) question: any stats on NE/National Snowshoe fatalities?

    Rocksnrolls and I went out to Mt Martha this weekend. It was my first time on snowshoes and I had a great time. We got started kind of late and I lived up tp my username (slowpoke) so we didn't make it to the top. But now I am used to my equipment and I know what to expect. Anyway, my sister...

    early snowshoeing advice??

    I just bought all the gear for snowshoeing and the weather is disappointing me. Any advice for a day trip from the Boston area this weekend (Dec 31 or Jan 1). I don't mind if I have to drive three hours each way and only get two or three hours of snowshoeing since it will be my first time...
