Growing up, my family always camped; but I tended to wander away. Their solution was to tie me to a tree.

What is/are PUDs?

A very enjoyable read. Well done. I am glad everything worked out.

Does anyone have any pictures of the bridges?

Milkweed. Thanks for your help. Time to get some lady bugs!

Does anyone recognize these little bugs? They are really small, 1/16 of an inch or so.

I didn't think to check :(

My son and I hiked the Kinsmans yesterday, and I noticed what I think is glacial striae just as you pass the caretaker's tent, before you get to the new shelter. What do you think? Any glacial geologists out there? Dr. D? Picture 1 Picture 2 New Shelter

Bully How about Good Ole Teddy Roosevelt? After spending a night under the stars along side John Muir in Yosemite, (and waking up under a blanket of snow the next morning), thought it that might be good to put aside some of the wilderness for future generations.

Apology? I feel I owe a great debt to "The List" (the NH 4000's in my case). If I hadn't seen a patch and a plaque on a wall, and asked some questions, I would have missed out on a LOT of fine days (and nights) spent on the trail. I have finished the list, but am not finished hiking. I know I...

At least with the Nikon scanner, it's one slide at a time. Depending on the quality, each image can be 20MB or more. Image quality is good, but dust seems to be an issue. Lots of post processing.

I like moody shots like this. I like how the background fades out. I think the stump on the right is a bit too strong, and I think I would have tried to move to get that out of the frame. Other than that it conveys the mood nicely.

Thanks for the info. (I had a feeling it would be you ;) ) I tried to enlarge the image, but couldn't read it.

has anyone ever been to the Fourth Connecticut Lake up in Pittsburg? I am looking for the GPS coordinates for the Benchmark there. Straddling the border ... and watershed on the trail to Fourth Connecticut Lake Eric Aldrich Photo. Info about the park and Nature Conservancy

Is Garmin’s MapSource software the only way to upload base maps to Garmin GPS units? I have a Garmin eTrex Vista and need to upload additional base maps. I hiked my first VT 4000 footer over the weekend and although the waypoints uploaded fine, there was nothing else there (contour lines, trails...
