Airing now! https://www.media.mit.edu/posts/augmented-nova-pbs-episode-featuring-hugh-herr/

Just a couple of observations. A few Mondays back I arrived at Ravine Lodge around 9:30 am and the lot was overflowing. Instead I went to Glencliff and there was one one car in the lot. I had the trail to myself until I reached the Carriage Boulevard. The main summit was crowded with folks...

Beat me to the punch with Gorham for the sunrise. (Dorr would also be good as noted.) You might also look into Great Head from other side of Sand Beach and while little more intricate to get to, Cedar Swamp Mt (about 2 miles up the Sargent South Ridge) is open and less busy.

Done and thanks!

I would second Joe's recommendation. You also can check out various nearby opportunities from these organizations: http://downeastcoastalconservancy.org/dcc-trails/ http://www.cobscooktrails.org/home.html

That's cool Hillwalker! Found these from the not too distant past. A little hazy on both days, but certainly you see the scars on Anderson in 2001. 2010 https://goo.gl/photos/gK528rgUztwTixhP7 2001 https://goo.gl/photos/yVcxzPpi17W5WdTJ6

Also FWIW, I'm a slight bit faster than "book time" in the Whites and when I did Ellen and Abraham out-and-back from Lincoln Gap in 2010, I was at 7 hours. And that was with ample photo stops. I remember it as a fairly easy hike compared to other hikes of similar elevation gain and mileage.

Moriah! https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-WRxopuyu0xQ/TV3k3V4f--I/AAAAAAAAEPE/YMAPmcMnxZ0_2C7veV35Icv8XmucGWvzACCo/s640/IMG_0840.jpg TPBM is a canister for a NEHH summit in Maine.

TPBM is a picture of a WMNF bridge that's been removed.

Here's my track from a few years back. Almost 10 miles;I went on the service road for some of it but I don't think that greatly affected the distance. Best! chipc

Redington - really a 4000 footer?

One of my colleagues at BU has used some of Thoreau's records for research on climate change. He's written several articles using this work and has written a rebuttal to The New Yorker article.

Sorry for your loss and thanks for sharing your hikes with Lauky (and Duffy) over the years - we've enjoyed reading about your adventures! chipc

I was just able activate it. I had to enter my email address as the username, and for the password you use "GEPFREE". Should be fun to play with!

Neat - also found this reference to a second Dartmouth alum (see the second entry) who is part of the mission. http://dartmouthalumnimagazine.com/articles/voices-wilderness-5

Maybe this stretches the definition of General Backcountry, but I was reading about the Mars Curiosity mission in today's New York Times and noticed that on the rover's route was a "Moosilauke Basin" and "Robert Frost Pass". After a little digging around I found out that this region is referred...

Just a few to add: 1) Hedgehog - taking the UNH west branch gets you to the summit and avoids the ledges. 2) Potash, similar to Hedgehog in views and effort 3) Whitehorse Ledge - there's couple of ways to get there from the west side (e.g. from Diana's Baths) 4) From PVC, Old Jackson Road to...

Nice "historical" article in the current Appalachia on trail running in the Whites. Many of the names will look familiar to VFTTers!

No quibble - I just know from experience in the lab arena that it can degrade probably depending on exposure to air. But if foams in a cut, it's fine. I was just concerned that some might keep a small amount in their emergency kit for long periods.

I am so sorry you had to go through this, but as someone who hikes with their dogs I am appreciative that you posted this. I had no idea. Just a quick note on 3% hydrogen peroxide - if you plan to carry some with you, make sure that it's from a reasonably fresh bottle. Once a bottle is open and...
