    Jewell Spur

    Has anyone hiked the Jewell Spur to Jewell (thus cutting off the traditional Jewell Trail to the Ammo parking lot). I know a few years ago I hiked a bit up the cog and saw pink ribbons which gave us spot to cut in. Is this still in view? Also, anyone hike up the cog rail in recent days? Thanks

    Edmands Path

    I heard a rumor that you may be able to access Edmands Path by car via Clinton Road from Base Road due to lack of snow. Anyone have any knowledge of this?

    Beaver Brook Trail

    At the point above the shelter, the trail takes a hair pin right. The trail also go straight. Where does this take you. On Friday, trail was broken out for 1/2 mile then stopped abruptly.

    Owlshead

    A small group of us are planning to hike Owlshead and hopefully bag #47(W4K) on Saturday. We have hiked the Black Pond bushwack a few years ago (October) but have no idea where the Brutus bushwack begins.

    Belknap Range

    Interested in doing this traverse and have done some research. I have question regarding the distance to travel from the trailhead to Mt. Major and to Gunstock to spot a car. It appears from Mapquest that this may be approx 7 miles....does this seem correct?
