We are looking for information on a few specific crossings of rivers. Any information on your crossings at these trail points in regards to depth of water and discharge rate as well as possible rock crossings would be helpful. 1. Dry River, (two crossing locations) A. Dry River Trail to Dry...

Found a pack rain cover on the Dry River Trail (High end above Lake of the Clouds). If you lost one contact me.

Went over to Oak Hill in Concord (fire tower if you are doing that list) for a quick morning hike on a local trail. We went up Tower Trail to the fire tower and then came down the "loop" trail that comes off the top on the North side to connect back down to Tower Trail. The trail had a number...

Found a GPS at the above location. If you can describe I can get it back to you. Krobi krobichaud61 at comcast dot net

Yesterday when going up Nineteen Mile Brook Trail we spotted some flagging and what appears to be a trail being cleared. From my waypoint it is about 8/10 up NMB trail and would put it about on the 1900' contour. If you stayed on this contour you would connect right to the bend in Imp Trail as...

Parked at the Depot which is snow covered but packed. Room for many. Stream crossing was frozen. Blowdown on Avalon which is easy to avoid. Blowdowns on Willey Range Trail between Field and Willey will be more problematic with snow. Two dogs, both seemed to be happy. Cool coat on one...

Read some trip reports about Mittersill trail up to Cannon being closed, and lots of construction. This is probably why. http://www.wmur.com/escape-outside/us-ski-team-to-train-at-cannons-mittersill-area/29315458

Came in from Evans Notch. Picked up snowmobile trail from Rollin Ridge Rd and took these to Slippery Brook Trail. Crossed the now double stream, from hurricane damage (low water but rocks were still slick). Hit the woods (mostly open) and proceeded up. Followed herd paths and hit some...

Plenty of parking in lot and along Tripoli Rd. Mt. Osceola trail shows wear from past hurricanes especially in the lower half. Trail got better up higher. Trail over to East Osceola was in good shape. Wasn't looking for it but we found the geocache near East. Spent some time on East talking...

Tunnel Brook road up to the gate closure is in great shape. There is parking for about 8 cars along the side of road near gate (sign not to block gate) OK trail for dogs but after crossing Tunnel Brook there is no water available (though there might be on trail after rain) The crossing of...

This article touches on a number of threads that are currently, or, have been recently discussed. http://www.npr.org/blogs/13.7/2014/08/14/340318201/immersion-in-nature-naturally-can-be-risky Tram/Gondola into Grand Canyon...sacriledge!? In Switzerland you can take Cable cars, Gondolas...

I have been trying to find information on if the gate to Stub Hill is currently open or closed. As of July 8 it was open (NETC post). Seems to be open and closed at varying times so I'm not sure what to expect. Any info would be greatly appreciated, as we are heading up this weekend. Ken

Lincoln Woods has plenty of parking. Good dog trail- Lots of water. Just a few mosquitos. Posts of the Black Pond Bushwhack and Lincoln Brook Trail up to Owl's Head have been described often. Nothing new to report except the second crossing was right on edge for rock hop vs. wade. We waded...

I am asking for altimeter advice from the forum. I was (am?) looking for an altimeter. I prefer one on the wrist, which doubles as a watch. To that end, I purchased a High Gear Alti XT. I have been using it around the house and the altimeter function seems to be off consistently. I have set...

Parking for one or maybe if lucky two cars after the bridge on Ingerson Rd. Not a good dog day. Way too much snow, which was way too soft. This was a snow shoe hike all the way. Actually I would really love to watch barebooters do this one. We got the idea for this approach to Waumbek from a...

Plenty of parking at Basin Parking lot. Good day for dogs but only saw one. Started late for the weather to improve, and followed one hiker on snowshoes the whole way. About an inch of new snow down low and increased to 3-4 up higher. Lots of drifting on FR. The lone hiker worked hard between...

Plenty of parking on both sides of the highway. East side was pushed back from this morning so even more now. OBP was hard packed with a dusting on it. Our group used light traction (microspikes and Hillsounds)..Some may want snowshoes for the televators. Note, part of the tread way was a...

Parking is plowed out for about 5 cars at the York Pond Trailhead. Parking lot at Unknown Pond Trailhead also plowed out. Trail was a well packed sidewalk with about 1inch of fresh powder on top. All of us used light traction (Microspikes/Crampon Pro). Weather was much better then predicted...

Plenty of parking at the trailhead lot. Someone had barebooted when the snow was soft, so caution needed in some places. Most of the trail was well packed. Snowshoes or microspikes both worked well. We used the shoes to have the televators. We all microspiked down for a very fast descent...

Parking lot on First Crown Point Rd is plowed and huge. Room for lots of cars. About 15 when we were done and many more could fit. We followed the orange trail (only trail there is) counter clockwise. Quick hike but great views from the tower! Pretty woods and a day with our son and his...
