Are there trail adopters on this forum? Anyone going to the BBQ in September?

I'm headed to Maine in early July for an extended bushwhacking trip. I know there are BWers on this site and I was wondering if you have any tips on how to approach these speaks. I have never been in the Gulf Hagas area but I was thinking of coming from the KI road and taking the logging road...

Planning on doing the Baldfaces and Eastman on Saturday. Is route 113 open? Thanks in advance.

Are there any campgrounds still open at this time of year in the Hunter or Palenville areas? If not, are there any places where you can legally car camp or pitch a tent near a trailhead?

Planning to do the Black Crescents from Bog Dam Road this weekend. I want to park near the trailhead to Camp 18 and head east from there. Most whackers use the maze of logging roads on the east side but the western approach seems so much shorter. Are there any private property concerns I...

I know the road was open (but rough) about a week ago. Is it still open? Any beta appreciated. I'm heading for Mt Success on Saturday.

If anyone is planning to bushwack Clough please bring a new logbook and ziplock bag. When I got there the canister lid was on the ground. I found the logbook just lying there, all frozen and muddy with no ziplock bag in sight. Thanks!

I'm heading for the Great North Woods this weekend and I'm looking for the easiest way to bag those 3. From what I could find the western approaches are shorter but way nastier (especially around East Spruce). I'm leaning towards an approach from the logging road west of Strafford Bog Pond but...

I'm leading a group of winter rookies for a Killington hike in mid-February and I'm looking to rent a cabin that can accomodate 7 people near Rutland. Can anyone recommand a clean and affordable place?

I'm heading to BSP next week to kick off the winter season. We need a cheap, clean place to stay in Millinocket the night before we head in. Any recommandations? Thanks!

At 8:10am on August 1st, I summitted Crestone Needle along with my friend Dave Alex for my 58th fourteener in 58 days. It was quite an adventure. 40 of the 58 were solo ascents. I know, I know, officially there are 54 recognized 14ers but I decided to proceed with the 58 described by 14ers.com...

We're thinking of doing a backpack this weekend up on Montalban Ridge. Planning on a late start on day 1 from route 16, camping at shelter #2 then camp at Resolution shelter on day 2. We'd complete the loop via Stairs Col trail and Rocky Branch trail. I've never been on the Rocky Branch trail...

As per my NE post, I'm planning some solo bushwacking from Nov 12 to 14. I wouldn't want to be mistaken for a deer or a moose.:D

I'm planning to do some solo bushwacking Wednesday to Friday of next week and I would just hate to be shot at... :rolleyes:

I'm usually terrible at writing trip reports so I figure I would at least post some pictures to give you an idea what our expedition was like. :D http://share.shutterfly.com/action/pictures?a=67b0de21b34577dc45c0&sid=0AauHDRs2cuWLmw

I'm planning some winter hiking in Maine between Christmas and New Year for a group of 5 and I've got a few questions that will help me decide wether we will be backpacking or doing day trips: 1) Is Caribou Valley Rd open in winter? 2) On the maps for the AT stretch between route 4 and 16 I...

Nat and I are planning a traverse for next Saturday. We'd be leaving from Appalachia around 4-4:30am. Anybody interested? Since there's is only 2 of us and 1 car, it would make logistics much easier. :) Let me know.

I'm still working on our trip report but I tought I should at least post some of our pictures for now. Should give people an idea about the adventure Arm, Frodo & Mountaingirl are about to tackle...
