I'm fairly sure that the ones that I have came from Bean's, Freeport. That's probably why I have two..... late night stops :p

They were very handy to carry in your shirt pocket When you wanted a drink, you'd just pull the two pieces apart and let them snap back together, forming a watertight seal. Dip it in the spring, and you're good to go. Of course if you tried that now, the hiking police would track you down and...

I have a couple of stainless ones. They were called The Bob Lane cup Folded up flat, I use to carry one right in my White Mtn. Guide

There's a nest on one of the reservoir islands in western RI Hard to miss due to all the folks lined up along the road with their spotting scopes ;) As for the Connecticut River, I saw three this past Friday. Two in Rocky Hill, one in Haddam. There's a lot of eagles that winter in southern New...

I've fished there, but only on foot. It's a little out of range from where we stay. Out of the places I mentioned, the Monomoy area would be my first choice. Here's some aerial photos that someone posted on another web site (I hope it's OK to post this link) this past spring...

Not anywhere close to being a 4K, but here in eastern CT we have a Mt Misery. At it's base, Mt Misery Brook flows out of Hell Hollow Pond :eek:

In Rhode Island, hunter orange is not only smart...It's the law

Twice, while fly fishing from a float tube, I've been attacked by an otter. It very likely was the same one both times as it was in the same pond only two weeks apart. From what I understand, a human in a float tube both looks and sounds like an otter... at least to another otter. So I'm sure...

A few of my favorites.. Closest to P-town try Wellfleet Harbor and Great Island There's a public launch off Chequessett Neck Rd, just past the Herring River bridge in Wellfleet. http://www.nps.gov/caco/historyculture/the-wellfleet-tavern-site-great-island-wellfleet.htm If you're down that way...

I had some faithful old boots (Danners) that I had resoled twice. The first time worked out fine, but after the second repair, they no longer fit right. I suppose it could have been the cobbler, but I'm more inclined to blame myself. I was too unwilling to give up on my favorite boots that were...

Don't wanna be spreading any negative vibes, but I think that there's a really good chance you won't be getting into Ft. Getty on the July 4 weekend. A back-up plan might be Fisherman's Memorial SP in Point Judith. It's not as cool as Ft. Getty, and it's further away from Newport, but they...

There's also a shelter in the Patchaug Forest just west of Mt Misery

There's a couple of trails in the area of Willimantic and the Willimantic Brewing Co. you may be interested in. The Nipmuck Trail starts in Mansfield Center, winds it's way through the UConn area and the Yale Forest, before ending up in the Bigelow Hollow State Park The Natchaug Trail starts in...

I'll use snowshoes when absolutelt necessary, but for the most part, when I have them on I can't help but think I'd be having much more fun if I was X-C skiing instead

:rolleyes: I don't know what I was thinkin'! An even better kayak trip.... Park at the north end of the Morris Island Causeway in Chatham Put in at Outermost Harbor just to the east. Head south and circumnavigate North Monomoy Island Higher tides are best because of the extensive sand flats on...

At this point, the longest and coolest :p hike on the Cape starts at Chatham Light and heads south along South Beach. The South-Way Channel recently closed and South Beach is now connected to South Monomoy Island Off the top of my head, I'm thinking it is about nine and a half miles to Monomoy...

........ :eek:

I believe the invasive algae that you are concerned about is Didymosphenia geminata. Commonly known as didymo or "rock snot". To prevent contamination, it is recommended that you soak and scrub all items for at least one minute in either hot (60°C) water, a 2% solution of household bleach or a...

Speaking as a relative outsider around here I've gotta say I've never understood how hiking became a goal oriented sport. As I understand it,the "list" was first compiled just to show people that there were other mountains to hike besides the Presidentials and Franconia ridge. To me, I view the...

One of the Blue Blaze trails in eastern Connecticut passes right through what was a once a native "dancing place" Just a few yards off the trail are boulders with chip carved petroglyphs. This site was used as a "solar station" as the boulders are arranged to mark the summer and winter...
