I'm planning to hike the North Twin Trail from Haystack Rd. to the spur to S. Twin to the Twinway as far as the Bondcliff Trail, summit Guyot, and return. I'm not planning to go to the Guyot campsite. Is there a watersource on the N. twin Spur or Twinway between S. twin and Mt. Guyot? The 2...
Any recommendations for a handheld type scale to weigh my pack and contents? I'd like a scale that I can hold or hang from a hook or tree branch that weighs up to 30 lbs + and has oz. measurements to compare light weight items. Mechanical preferred. Thx.
Planning a 31 mi. hike thru the Mahoosucs next week. I'm thinking knee pads might come in handy, especially in the Notch itself. I'm guessing I'll be doing some crawling. Any recommendations?
I posted this question last evening and just found the answer on-line. Duh! For tho se who don't know or never gave it a thought, here's some good information about those little orange fuel cannisters. This taken from BackPacker.
Q.} I have a Snowpeak stove that uses those small...
I'd love company. Greenleaf trail to Lafayette, Garfield Ridge Trail to Garfield, Garfield Trail down. Nice day, Booktime hike, great views. Post, reply, or just be there. Thanks.
Any interest this week? Wed or Thu looks like best weather...requires car spot. 3,000'+ elevation gain, 10+ mi., brief stop at Greenleaf Hut to say 'Hi', GREAT views. I need this section of the GRT for the AT. probably a join-up at Rt. 93, Exit 23 Park&Ride, 7 AM. Booktime hike. We'll...
Wx forecast looks good but it's pretty far ahead and could change...that said, I need the Beaver Brook Trail. Let's enjoy the views before the trees bud. I'll hike book time or better to the summit but not fast. Would consider positioning a car to take another route down. Plan 8 AM...
April 10 I lost a crampon and a good samaritan hauled it down to the trailhead and hung it on the kiosk for parking. If it's still there, I'll swing by to get it. Has anyone noticed it at the trailhead? I'll be driving up this Friday, so I've some time for a reply. Thanks.
Lost my Hillsound Trail crampon on Carter Dome Trail below Carter Dome...it's now hanging on a pole by the kiosk at 19 MB trailhead. Would someone hiking from there or passing by pick it up and drop it at Joe Dodge front desk. I'll be driving up to ski or hike in late April. Appreciate a...
Planning to hike 19 MBT to Carter Dome Trail, CD summit. Maybe down to the hut and loop out, maybe not if snow is too wet and unstable. Short notice due to cancellations...thinking 8:30 trailhead. Expect soft snow and a beautiful day!
What can I expect this time of year between Lafayette and Garfield? Has Garfield Ridge Trail been broken out to anyone's knowledge? Hoping to loop up Lafayette and down Garfield in early April. Deep, soft snow could be a deal-breaker...
I'm trying to complete the AT in NH and can't find any trail info from the Connecticut River to Glencliff and Moosilaukee. I need distances, road crossings, resupply points, shelters, water, views, etc. thanks for any leads.
Gusty winds on Lion's Head started me thinking about carrying an inexpensive, handheld, pocketsized anemometer. I was surprised the outdoor stores like EMS didn't carry them. Amazon has several, but the reviews are mixed. Has anyone used one?
