    Lake Cabins/Kayak camping in NH/ME?

    Thanks Thanks, all! We'll be leaving in just a couple of days, so if there are any other suggestions, please feel free. We've already hooked up with Northern Waters and will likely try to do a couple of nights on Umbagog, probably earlier in our trip than later in order to get warmer weather...

    Lake Cabins/Kayak camping in NH/ME?

    Greetings! I hope this post is in a proper place. I'd appreciate any pointers to other resources if it's not. My wife and I, as we do every year, will be camping and hiking in the Presidentials between mid-September and October 15th, or so. We thought that it might be a nice touch to see if...

    Speck Pond, Carlo Col Trail & Access

    We hiked the area recently, around late September/early October. The entire area has been significantly impacted. The road is much the same, although they've ditched deeply on both sides, making it unsightly. The Carlo Col/Gooseye trail still has parking available - perhaps a bit more now...

    White Mtn. National Forest and parking

    Question: Where does the money come from to fund projects such as the Lincoln Woods parking complex (years ago), the fairly new (?) Rocky Gorge parking area, new overlooks and bathrooms, etc.? Does any of the financing for these projects come from the parking passes, or some other source? Are...

    !!Alert: mice break-ins at trailheads!!

    On the other side of the mountain from Appalachia, at the Dolly Copp campground, the mouse problem can be pretty severe. We often base there for weeks at a time in the fall, doing day hikes. We noticed the problem for years, and a lot of our food & paper was infiltrated. We dealt with it...

    Least favorite trails in the Whites

    My Three votes... In reverse order: 3) Hutmen's Trail. Straight up to nothing. Why is it there? 2) The Link on Jefferson. Much agreement, here. 1) Upper Bruin. What a disaster. It's the only trail I ever traveled where I was just, plain pi$$ed off at the condition. :mad:

    Have you tried the REI Bug Hut?

    Jeff, We have an older, two-person MSR Bug Hut. Looks indentical to the REI 2-Person Bug Hut. I thought this MSR design was sold to Moss, but if it's REI branded, then I'm probably mistaken. We mostly use it as an ancillary shelter at base camps, or for kayak trips to the Outerbanks in the...

    Adirondack recommendations?

    Rick, Thanks for the recommendation! Sounds really nice, and has the advantage of being more southern, cutting down on driving to and from Kingston. Wouldn't ya know? I have three new guidebooks, but the hike you described is in the West-Central region... gotta order a new book. :rolleyes...

    Adirondack recommendations?

    This is probably a typical question, but being new to this forum, I couldn't seem to find an existing thread on it. Please point if it's already been covered. In the middle of September, I'm dropping my wife off in Kingston, NY for a seminar. That means I have about five days for a solo trip...

    Nova Scotia in September ... ideas?

    Hi, First post to this site... Shout out to Dave M from the ex-DECcie. Two Septembers ago, my wife and I wandered over to Nova Scotia on our "fall journey." We found the entire area unbelievably nice. We camped at Meat Cove one night, but I'd have to concur that it was a bit unsettling at...
