**UPDATE** I believe it possible/likely it was dropped after we hiked Panther on 12-26. We loaded our packs for the overnight at the Panther lot and my friend last remembers me having it here.

Lost on 12-26 or 12-27. I believe it fell out of my pack when loading or unloading...most likely at the parking area at the bridge. I never even used it on the trip :(. It could be elsewhere, but I doubt it because maybe other than at the shelter or the summit of Eagle I really didn't open my...

I found this on the ledge to the north of the summit from the Owl Head Lookout route. It was in a high-quality waterproof case. I dried it out for a few days and it works. The last update was nearly three years ago. There is a picture of a baby on the only screen I can see before the lock...

Was lost on the morning of 7-16 descending Slide to Denning TH on the upper reaches of the route. Has any 3500'ers marked in red marker. I know it's a long-shot and hopefully someone found it and is using it. I'll gladly pay the postage. I wanted to keep the same set of maps the whole way...

Having done all the 4k peaks at least once I figured it was time to do some hiking in the Skills for the first time (in the 3500 area) in ten years which was when I did Hunter and Slide with my now wife. 7-14-17 Blackhead Range (Out and Back) Evening accent of via Camel's Hump of Thomas...

Thanks. Those prices sound very reasonable too. I'll give them a call.

I am weighing options for myself and a friend regarding the Devil's Path. We want to do a traverse obviously, but I don't want to have to bring a second car (6 hour drive) or rent one and then have to deal with pickup/dropoff then still having to manually backtrack to shuttle. Is there anybody...

Nice. This really is a fantastic way to do this region. I may do the same with when I am up there and good weather presents itself. I did all 48 but had poor timing/luck with weather in the Pemi, sadly. Zealand, Bonds (all), both Twins ALL with miserable zero-visibility views.

RESULTS OF RAPID STATIC ON SUMMIT SIGN. This is an independent check through the NGS's OPUS site. Same Result. It will be exciting to see what they say! ORTHO HGT: 1220.526(m) 0.053(m) [NAVD88 (Computed using GEOID12B)] ... is the important line. FILE: MACNAUGTON_MTN_SUMMIT_SIGN.tps...

Correct. Only the NGS will validate/invalidate/further investigate. Know that this network is trusted and tested for survey-grade accuracy and is used heavily for things like heavy-highway engineering. I have used these types of devices for such purposes. I spoke with a representative who...

By "summit rock" I mean the place, near the sign (say 10' away) and slightly higher, of solid ground and open rock where a monument could be set. This summit is difficult to establish as it's "exact" point could require topography as the ridge "bumps" a bit, but I agree that the vicinity of...

:confused::D ;) Results of the "ALL CAPS" at the end. Having completed all 46 and knowing the story behind the "fallen four" and the mystery surrounding MacNaughton mountain and the lack of a clear and modern method, to my knowledge, of a measure of it's true elevation, on May 29th 2016 I...

Thanks for the replies. I too am trying to get the bottom of it...maybe a survey of the summit.

Hi all. ;) My question is simple, but two-fold: What is the currently accepted official elevation of the peak and what is the best method by which anyone knows of an unofficial elevation calculation? Unofficial would be methods by which elevation was calculated by GPS, for example, and the...

Everyone seems to walk on by or not even know of this named summit near Indian Falls. I am sure plenty of folks on here have do it, but I wanted to update the conditions to the peak with a recent account. I wanted to do it just to experience something a little less traveled. I did this with my...

Thanks JustBob. "Yes there is"! Great.

I have completed all of the 115 outside of Maine excluding Katahdin which has been completed twice. I have remained intentionally ignorant of this area to leave some fun for the end with a sense of adventure as to know little of what to expect. I am beginning to plan for the peaks I have left...

Yes, it is from two years ago. I found it but lost it myself until I moved. It appears to be a couple of shots from the Nippletop slide before the point-and-shoot Canon camera was dropped into a shattering tumble. The camera was destroyed by the fall. I found this in late September of...

Congrats! You report makes me glad that Baxter Peak is all I have in Maine. I have all of the 115 outside of Maine, but need the 13 other peaks in the state. I never ventured into the Stratton area, wishing to leave something new for the last leg of a long adventure. Reading your report has...

Hi everyone, I am excited to have pulled off a much tougher finish than my recent NH 48 over Memorial Day. The ADK ending was much more of a tall order. I stood at 37/46, but intended to do 3 additional peaks again to help my friend rack his numbers to the low 40's. The peaks needed were...
