I went up to Scar Ridge today from the Discovery Trail lot on Route 112 - if anyone heads up there before the next storm let me know if you find a ziplock bag with a pair of liner gloves, lightweight shell mittens, a hat, a head band, and a neck warmer somewhere along the way. The outside bag...

I was thinking of combining a two-day Presidential Traverse with a side trip through the Dry River Wilderness to get Isolation too. Wanted to stay in the Dry River since I'm thinking that Nauman will be full this upcoming weekend because of the Monday Holiday. I've seen several references to the...

Sad news if you followed the adventures of this famous bear - she was shot by a hunter. We got to meet her and some of her cubs on our most recent trip to the Adirondacks. One of them tried to break into the Thule box on top of my Toyota Highlander. :(...

I had been looking for one of these for a while and had tried this and that to keep my stuff handy without having to stop and take my pack off, especially in the winter. I could only find used ones on e-bay since Dana Design stopped making them. It seems that the guy (Dana) from Dana designs...

On Saturday Monica and I did a Pemi Loop but when we got home Sunday morning we realized that we were one backpack short of a full load. On Sunday morning (07/31) we were parked near the bathroom in the Lincoln Woods Parking Lot and may have set it outside the car and forgotten to put it back...

Ran accross this while surfing the web - this guy is attempting to establish a new record of unassisted ultra-light long-distance backpacking. It will be the first ever, attempt of the “All-In Trek”. This involves solo hiking the four longest hiking trails in the United States, back-to-back...

I was hoping to get the six-pack peaks up in northern Maine out of the way in early July and planned to follow the shorter routes described elsewhere on-line by Papa Bear, Bob & Geri, and others. They mention crossing over into Canada – I have no problems with that. It’s the getting back into...

I am planning to knock these two peaks off the Hundred Highest List in June and someone told me that the herd path between the two peaks has been blocked by fences. I have not seen anything about this anywhere else and was wondering if anyone knew if this was true. I was thinking that maybe he...
