This article on Gerry Largay appeared in Portland's paper, The Bollard. She disappeared near a U.S. Navy SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape) . It sounds like a good idea to steer clear of its boundaries. http://thebollard.com/2015/06/30/m-i-a-on-the-a-t/

My friend lost one red and black crampon on Mt. Nancy yesterday. Full winter conditions on top which it where it was probably lost. If found please let me know. Thank you

I lost a small Osprey pouch on top of either North Kinsman or South Kinsman today. Would love to get it back! Thanks Jean

I have not gotten a permit yet, maybe I will try, that was one reason to get a guide. The guide I spoke to said hiking one day ahead of time would be enough acclimation. That sounds too short. I climbed in Bhutan last October up to 16,000 feet, but had a week of acclimation. I will rethink...

Thanks for all the information. I am looking to hike, and not having any company I thought I would find a guide service so I wouldn't be alone and they could also handle the red tape. I will check out all the leads given above. I hiked Isolation yesterday, so the training begins.

Can anyone recommend a good guide service for climbing Mt. Whitney? I'm thinking of climbing in September.

Thanks so much for posting this, I never knew about this danger. My Irish Setter eats stuff all the time and won't ever give it up. What a heart wrenching story.

The Last Season by Eric Blehm is great. True story about a very accomplished backcountry park ranger that disappears in the Sierra's

Stayed at the Newport City Motel, terrific choice. Very clean and well cared for. The price started out high - $97 for a king, but as we dropped the bed size to full with no bathtub, it got down to $60 Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the info, I think I'll try the lean-to on the Long Trail. Since "Inchworm" disappeared on the AT, I think twice about where I stay.

I'm heading up to Jay Peak next week. Can anyone recommend good places to camp or an inexpensive motel? Thanks Jean

Thanks! It appears most don't climb the Nubble, so I wasn't sure if I wanted to add that.

Anyone out there interested in hiking Peak Above the Nubble Friday, Sept 6, morning? I've done Vose Spur and Scar Ridge without much problem, and would love to get this one out of the way. I'd like to start around 8 a.m. Weather looks good! Jean

If you find hiking poles on Vose Spur please contact me at [email protected] Thanks!
