I used the Flightradar24 app to check on a couple of them, and saw a Cessna Citation, and a I think a Gulfstream. Not sure models at this time. We tracked a couple of them to NYC and to Long Island -- 1%'ers having a fun day trip. You can see a couple of the jets in my first Katahdin pic, though...

We had a terrific experience with the eclipse in Millinocket, in the path of totality. We went up early, and walked around downtown on Penobscot Ave Saturday evening, seeing next to no one though the Scootic In was full. But then on Monday, there were many folks walking around, sitting on the...

Went to Baxter headquarters in person this morning and got our reservations for a few nights in August. As we stood there talking to the ranger, someone online took the site we wanted. A bit frustrating but in the end we got good sites on our dates. They mentioned they hope to update their...

Forecast just looks better and better. We're heading up to Millinocket and current outlook is sunny all day.

Thanks for sharing your journey. Winter is so beautiful and harsh at the same time. Sorry the knee is hurting, and wishing you all the best for the upcoming surgery you mentioned.

Have only been to Wachusett once, up and down past the Balance Rock, a neat boulder. The views at the top are really nice, from Monadnock to Boston, and north. I had driven from Connecticut, and my hiking friend that day from Arlington Mass. Unfortunately he locked his key in his car in the lot...

More about the fatality. My dad, formerly of NH and now a resident of PA, sent this - the victim was from Pennsylvania, so it made the news down there. "Skier who died on Mount Washington was Vt. college student in ROTC"...

Heard about this new short film from the Sounds Like a Search and Rescue facebook page and most recent episode, in which they interview the producer, director and cinematographer, Josh Bogardus -- he's a local, son of a NH F&G officer. It's a really nice portrait of history and life at the...

On the map, a few in the area are show as "in minor flood stage." Here's a direct link to the East Branch data. Peaked at 8,990cfps. https://dashboard.waterdata.usgs.gov/api/gwis/2.1/service/site?agencyCode=USGS&siteNumber=01074520&open=65830

At the moment, East Branch of the Pemi is at 8,630 CFS, and it says all-time high for this date (I wonder how far back they're looking to calculate a record for a given date).

Millinocket, which is halfway between the southern edge and the center of the path of totality, so maybe we'll drive a bit north. If you don't have your eclipse eye protection, here's a list of places recommended by the American Astronomical Society. Just ordered from Halo and received a note...

Thanks, I missed this thread or would have posted here.
