Same here. Hubby had to attempt three times and it finally took on time #3 for success. Just wanted to say thanks to all of the participants of the chat this year in this particular New England hiking thread for all of the discourse, sensible breakdown of how we can improve our hiking...

Other than one last load of debris once the snow melts, the demolition of the Bowman Camp is complete as of 02-22-2022. Spring will bring cleanup and we'll plant a wildflower meadow there afterward. It will be lovely to see it mature over the years.

Good advice - glad for you that you're getting better by degrees and by determination!

Good to see you are on the mend. I wanted to say thank you for letting us know you've observed the Bowman Camp as kindling this past week (we had not heard from the contractor/gotten pictures yet). Next steps is getting the chimney pipe asbestos-certified for disposal (a formality of a couple...

The knowledge and lessons-learned exchanges beyond hiking here are much appreciated - the stewardship (and safety and consideration of others) advice is priceless. Wanted to pass along that Bowman Camp is scheduled for demolition by mid-January (given what is known now - that could change)...

Peakbagger, l'm late to the party, but come with well-wishes for your recovery. Like ChrisB, I'm in awe of the system you've engineered to allow you the movement you want / need as you heal. Happy holidays to you.

Thank you for this information. I'm considering trying to get a couple canker-resistant butternuts (white walnuts) if they are to be had. I am of the understanding that they're on the comeback as disease-resistant hybrids but may not be widely available. The nursery didn't have any white...

I am grateful for your gracious remarks, Peakbagger. As you're aware from your neighborly reach-out to us (and shared here in the forum for the benefit of others), we plan to retire to the Randolph area in some years, as we enjoy long-distance backpacking, the history and community of northern...

Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. The gentleman passed in 2014, full of years and memories. He was Harvard-educated, spent many years working for Raytheon Corporation (which very well could have been your NASA memory/connection, given their business specialty), and served his...

Yes - if consistent with the strategic objectives for the use of the area. To that end, we've contacted the USFS to ask how we might partner with them and other parties for the best use of our land stewardship consistent with those goals (and of course there's likely other organizations and...

Pleased to virtually "meet you all". What the hikers/conversationalists here are quite correct about is that the building known as "Bowman Base Camp" cannot be saved - it will need to be removed down to the foundations (the engineer with the RMC was also a professional that made the right call...
