I too can live with wind mills and even power lines. Energy is dirty business no matter how you look at it. Too me, this is the lesser of possible evils. The whites are not wilderness. They are the northern border to the densely populated Boston area. I have hiked the NE 4ks and the AT from...

Thanks all Thanks for the info folks!

Hi, I have checked out several links on VFTT to understand the status of trails and roads. Please excuse this question if it's obvious. I have not any Whites hike this year as I have been hiking in Maine. I am hoping to head up to Crawford Notch Friday night (AMC HC) and hike the southern pres...

September 17, 2011. The AT is in great shape on this section. Mostly dry and no troublesome blow-downs. There is water every 6 miles or so in Brooks. Irene was kind here.

100 Mile Wilderness I have a Tarptent Contrail. It only weighs about 1.5 pounds. I was planning to stay at Antler's. I will start in Baxter SP and climb Katahdin. I have a couple sets of reservations at that end to leave me some leeway as to my start date. I would like to hike Katahdin in nice...

I've pretty much completed planning of a 100 mile wilderness trip from Katahdin to Monson. I plan on getting a 3 day food drop at Katahdin Iron Works road for the last 30 miles or so. I am also leaving open the possibility of leaving the last 30 miles until next year and getting a shuttle out at...

I'll take wind turbines I'm a lifelong New England hiker. I've hike the NE 4k's and almost all the AT in NH and ME. The turbines would be a welcome sight. Much better than the belching coal plants that I've seen in China or the aircraft carriers heading for the Gulf. We use lots of energy. Any...

I'm planning to complete the Maine section of the AT with a s-n 100mw trip in late August or early Sept. Planning for 9 +/- days including Katahdin. Interest or advice welcome.

Elvios Pizza in Lincoln or North Conway I like the pizza so much it inspired my trail name, "Elvios Lincoln".

can I see that peer reviewed study? Not really looking for an argument but I always love reading definitive animal behavior comments like this. I am a scientist at heart and tend to lean toward studies and reports that demonstrate fact. Sorry, but I suspect, had the guy not had his dog, he...

I'm heading up to hike the 26 mi AT section from Lyme Dorchester Rd to Glencliff. I'm planning to start on Sunday morning and spend two nights on the trail arriving at the Glencliff Hostel on Tuesday. I have arranged with the Glencliff care taker to stage me at the L_D road and I'll hike back to...

Taft Lodge on Mt Mansfield Taft Lodge on Mt Mansfield is pretty nice. The Long Trail Map covers it pretty well. Quite a bit of exposed summit ridge above the lodge! http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=7148&id=1444972530&l=6f9fce4cdd

Continuing my AT section hiking this year with three trips. 1. the 26 miles pf AT south of Moosilauke. 2. AT over Moosilauke to Kinsmans. 3. Finally, The Bigelows to Monson in ME.

Chocorua Peak House A three story summit hotel existed in the vicinity of the Jim Liberty Cabin on Mt Chocorua. It blew off the mountain one night in 1915. It was operated by a man named David Knowles. I have a copy of a small pamphlet on the subject published by Marion Nickerson and John Downs...

100 Mile Wilderness Photos Hi, I just looked at your 100 mile Wilderness photos. Was this part of a through hike? Are there really no re-supply points for 100 miles? Nice Photos.

Indian Pipe, pipe flower variety? I will guess the "rare" pink form of an Indian Pipe flower. Check out this web site. http://www.choosingvoluntarysimplicity.com/indian-pipe-monotropa-uniflora/

Ethinic Cleansing In that Andrew Jackson arguably practiced ethnic cleansing, and defied a supreme court ruling to stop, it is good that the mountain is named for the scientist.

White Lake State Park, Tamworth, NH White lake is a old CCC campground with nice sites. Though the area around it on Rt 16 is a bit of a hole lately. If you roam a bit west on Rt113, then the country gets wonderful fast Its best drawing card still is mint. A very nice lake with a white sand...
