Mcnta5 is right but unfortunately once areas become known they either have to be managed really well or they will close. See this all the time with climbing areas. Seems like the Randolph glade will need a separate access point outside the neighborhood otherwise problems will persist. Folks who...

Round two might be coming later this week.

The bridge is gone. Checked it this a.m. I was last there at the end of October so they certainly hustled to remove it. First pic is looking across RB. Second is looking back to the little wooden bridge.

I was there last fall and the bridge was in place (though you'd have to climb a little to get onto it so folks were just crossing the river underneath it). I'd be surprised if the FS mounted an operation to remove it and it got done that quickly. I'll go back and check once the snow clears a...

I have never had any issues with hunters in the woods so never understood the Sunday ban (I'm not a hunter btw). Seems a lot more risky to drive to my hiking destination.

From just below those steep slopes you can whack over to the Langdon slabs and can make your way up the slabs through a large vegetated weakness in the middle. Very nice little outing. Just need to go later in summer when water levels low.

I plan to break trail today…in my back yard. Not sure how far I’ll get.

Sad about the truck driver. Definitely a few feet in MWV. Lots of plowing and cleanup.

He's not asking for money but instead a donation, right? ;) The more we think about it, the less inclined we are to go anywhere. Seems a hassle for 3 minutes. I don't really get the intrigue here. Better to just be on a mountaintop any of the other 364 days of the year, particularly on a...

Was 68. Too young. Good climber and filmmaker.

Winter ascent in Crocs. Who's with me?

Joe was just at Kennett High last Friday for a mini film festival that among other things included a short film on the Hugh Herr rescue.

I would’ve thought that there are a number of anti-gelling additives out there to deal with gelling of diesel in cold temperatures. Some of those additives can get you quite a ways below zero (like -50 or more). And as PB notes, can also cut with 20-30% kerosene.

We certainly do not need more litigation in our society.

Define "major drowning hazards". Every suggestion above seems to involve water, though they seem like they are otherwise good suggestions!

Since this is low-hanging fruit, I'll bite. If you read the book I cited or the American Alpine article that was cited by others, you'll get the full story. Long story short, he lost both legs below the thigh to frostbite and needed prosthetic legs back before the tech was as developed as it...

I mostly agree with all of this. I think ultimately some people just have better innate judgement than others and better utilize available resources to learn how to make better judgments going forward. I don’t say this to mean that such ability makes person A better than person B, but just state...

I hear you but, again, that shipped sailed a long time ago. People are so far past being accountable that the hotel will not move the needle.

If the hotel was being proposed for Adams or some other place that currently has nothing but trails to the top for hikers, I might care more. But it's Mt. Washington, which is already a zoo. The train already left the station (pun intended). Plus, many hotels and other structures exist in the...

I always see families sledding down the Eisenhower Park hill off 302 in Bretton Woods and wonder if anyone gets going too fast there.
