Have fun, we visited in April 2021. Fun family trip and it was nice exploring in the off-season as it was very quiet. I took some early morning trips up Dorr Mountain (nice view of Cadillac) and Champlain Mountain which had great views of Bar Harbor and the coast. I could have continued on...

Great write up PB. Glad you had good weather and a fine spot to view.

I hope you all have a great eclipse tomorrow. I'm staying put in RI. Get thee deep into that totality!

Beautiful!

Sort of blows my mind that Rhode Island allows hunting on Sunday but Maine does not.

It will be so tough but I shall do my best. (y)

Thanks all. Had the surgery yesterday morning and it seemed to go well. I can walk around with soreness but no pain. Time to head back to PT!

I spent last weekend in the northern Presidentials. Drove up on Friday, parked at the Appalachia trailhead and hiked in the woods a ways for a quick night out. The next morning I met up with friends at Lowe's Path and we took it up to Gray Knob. We arrived just in time to secure sleeping...

Yes I posted an update video on my site and received several comments from people who have gone through the same thing. So I'm cautiously hopeful about the whole thing. Just wish it wasn't another month away.

I get little satisfaction out of hiking in this state anymore. It's like eating gruel after tasting filet mignon.

This has been an absolute dogshit winter for me. The only snow we got here in southern RI was about two weeks ago. Cold temps kept it around for a bit but it's mostly gone now. And I've got a torn meniscus in my left knee which has left me hobbling and unable to do much other than the...

I splurged on a pair of Mainers mittens recently. They should be super warm - now I just need to get into some really cold temps to try them out.

I gotta say, that sign's a little obtuse. How about a good ol' fashioned "NOT AN ACTUAL TRAIL - DOES NOT LEAD TO SKI LODGE."

Since we're sharing, here's my typical winter daypack. Certainly nothing like @NH2112 but this would be for your standard NH48 ascent, not deep backcountry outings.

Recognizing that the line between trail running and hiking in the mountains gets very blurry, especially in winter I think the answer is...it depends. In my opinion it's very situational based on the weather conditions, trail conditions, number of people in the group and the route. A bunch of...

Hiker Recovered from Mount Guyot An hiker lost his life this week on Mt. Guyot. A bad area to run into trouble. My condolences to his family.

I came down that stretch from Shelburne-Moriah a few years back in July and I don't recall any issues with it - other than the deer flies that began to attack near the bottom. It was a very clear trail to follow.

And two inches of rain tomorrow. Weeeeeeee!

I just print out a bunch and tuck one into each of my backpacks. Thanks for the reminder @peakbagger

Congrats on your finish Brian. A big accomplishment!
