One tick removed from cat on Saturday here in Bethlehem, NH. Desperate times for the little buggers

I concur with jrcinnh with bike use; with the way much of the park is presented by short trails to many interesting things, biking the carriage roads to trailheads is a great way to explore. I used to spend a lot of time on my bike on the carriage paths with daypack strapped to bike rack, chain...

Agreed. Initially was going to take the event in stride at home with partial, but the encouragement from others here to seek totality (which for us only 20 minutes away) was a world of difference, that was cool. We sat in a crowd and one of the coolest things was a disco ball hanging in one of...

I was getting the feeling yesterday and the forecast was shaping up for us to be in our traditional snow-shadow here in Bethlehem, NH. When the front swept in mid-afternoon yesterday there was little to no precip with it, and at our location tucked under the west side of the hill, the wind gusts...

Once at the festival in Johnson, VT I was staring up at the cliffs of Prospect Rock wondering what the hell I was doing in a crowd of muddy people and not enjoying the forest instead. I wandered off and eventually found myself looking down at the scene and enjoying it immensely from the safety...

Berlin was reporting over 20" this morning so I figured you would have gotten more peakbagger. We got just over 18" on this west side of Bethlehem NH as of this morning, although that is not with proper scientific measurement. I was shoveling some after 9 pm and kept hearing large areas of the...

Listening to radio broadcast from St J around 1 pm yesterday the National Weather Service cut in with an alert for very intense squalls, but I noted the affected areas were all north central VT with the farthest east being Newport. I checked the NWS forecast for Bethlehem NH and there was not...

Looks like I was all wrong previously stating the worse of mud season would be out of the roads by then (anyone may want to reconsider any suggestions from me!). The forecast for this week brought us back into more traditional patterns but heading into the weekend is some good winter-like...

We prepared at Monadnock for the Harmonic Convergence I guess that was back in the 1990's, but had no calls. At least it will get light again for a bit afterwards. I've started to think maybe I should have planned to stay home since I have a tractor and might be able to make some cash pulling...

I've started to wonder if officials were thinking that if the village and park become overwhelmed, they could direct traffic south along Rte. 5 where there is a miles long stretch of road that is somewhat straight with very wide shoulders and a wide sky view, and is roughly along-side the open...

Very near but significantly more ideal......actually did we make the best plans for this as I wasn't even trying to consider wild locations.......https://wildernesswebb.com/2020/11/01/sentinel-rock/ shhhh. Up out of the defile. Parking area is tiny although I seem to remember a secondary...

Initially we were just going to enjoy our near totality here on the edge of the Northern Whites, but started getting excited about being in totality near-by at our local weather observatory and planetarium in St. J. I have been asking questions over the past year anytime we have been there, and...

I should have paid more attention to the forecast, as the past 24 hours dashed any optimism. Snow-burning conditions last night with wind and warm rain flipped things. My driveway here in Bethlehem tilts to the west-northwest so sees little sun influence. Been able to maintain a smooth ice-road...

It's where I was raised, and very much like the colonial intent, I have sought a new land. This area briefly held this name until the colonists fought it out. This is a funny area connected closely across the shared state border. I think many of us don't really fully relate to either state.

Dave Anderson is a gifted ecology communicator; I have always enjoyed his and Chris Martins productions immensely as they really bring things alive. Dave is a good dude also. Peter Marchands book has held a prominent place on my bookshelf for years, actually off the shelf often. You can actually...

We went down to North Conway from Bethlehem 2 weekends ago for in-town stuff and I was impressed (as compared to elsewhere) by the snowpack on the east side of the notch. There has been a lot of weather variability since then. We XC skied at Bretton Woods on this past Saturday and conditions...

I parked there on Monday to enjoy some ski touring with my season pass on the xc trail system just behind. I was humored that it looked like some made a whole day of it there with the kids. A guy was hanging in the bed of his truck watching the kids and setting in a camp chair surrounded by...

They do. It can be difficult to get involved in these discussions as it can open up old wounds. Look at the picture of the pack that Levi Frye of NHF&G was carrying on his back about to board The Cog. I always listened jealously to ultralight hikers describe their gear loads; I could never...

Thanks TEO. I think any of us can only be left to wonder about these things and offer our own perspectives. Just happens the day before hearing about this tragedy, I was thinking deeply about what death might be like and specifically trying to imagine what some of the examples we both stated...

Very few of us plan our deaths. Unfortunately it is often in circumstances that involve great pain and suffering. I happened to have quite a few people close to me die recently where great suffering occurred. By all available references we have, we are led to believe death through hypothermia...
