Have red squirrels been invading your area? I remember the only place I ever saw red squirrels was in the Adirondacks. Years of observing grey squirrels in CT and we use to never see any reds in CT - none. It wasn't till the 1990's that I think I saw the first one in CT. It was an incredible...

Whittier house on Saturday Night around 1844hrs Red Suburu with VFTT stickers on the back and left rear window. Last 2 digit on the license was 19. We parked right next to each other but I had my wife's car instead of my Jeep with my Sticker on it so that is why you wouldn't have noticed. If I...

Hope he has a speedy recovery. The rest of the story Keith

Wish I was up in the area to lend a hand. They are looking for volunteers Keith

Has anyone actually heard and better yet have a authentic audio recording of a Fisher Cat making its screeches? Does anyone else know the kinds of screeching I am talking about? I was out trying to watch the Perseid's and I had one walk up to me maybe 15 feet away. I was shining a very bright...

HELENA, Mont. – At least one bear rampaged through a campground near Yellowstone National Park before dawn Wednesday, killing one person and injuring two others before campers sought shelter in their cars, wildlife officials said. Rest of the story

For those of you that had read this under the trips and events forum I apologize. I shouldn't try posting at 3AM. First trip report I have ever done. This was a trip I was planning on for a very long time. I was going to test some gear and I waited for the weather to be as cooperative as it...

In contrast to the young guy calling for a medevac because of a booboo on his thumb. This woman has grit. ABC Report woman survives week in wilderness Keith

Thanks everyone for letting me bend that rescue thread a little. Now the next logical question I would have is: What should a properly equipped ocean going kayak have? Noting that equipment never supersedes knowledge there still is probably a ten essentials list or equivalent for ocean kayak...

Illinois hiker Must be one of the funniest quotes I've heard in a while. He has effectively been banned from the forest. :D I know, I have an odd sense of humor. :o Keith

I know its a little off topic but hopefully the mods won't mind a little diversion. I was wondering if anyone here sails. I have a Dart 18 catamaran and I have a few questions and was wondering if anyone on here maybe has a Hobie or god help me a Dart. Keith

This is a surprise. I will be very interested in seeing what happens and where this leads. http://www.thebostonchannel.com/news/20146759/detail.html The original thread Keith

Just curious. How many people think that Little Jayson was correct and should be lauded as a hero, which is inevitable, when he followed his hero and tore up his only rain protection as Bear Grylls "taught" him to do and wander around lost in the woods, or would the more prudent action for him...

Does anyone know of an online resource that has a map that shows the white mountains and what type of trees are located where in the forest? I know that there has to be one. I just haven't been able to find it. I am trying to find the largest patches of hardwoods in the forest and where they are...

While hiking around my companies’ property I found a small piece of hair with a small piece of flesh attached. With some searching I was able to find the carcass of a deer. At the time the deer was a pretty fresh kill with primarily only the internal organs missing. The carcass had been moved...

This isn’t a rant but something that I find very interesting and hope maybe some others may find interesting also. There actually is a point. ;) NA blackout of 1965 Map The cause of the failure was human error that happened days before the blackout, when maintenance personnel incorrectly set a...

I have discussed this post with both Jason and Marty and they understand and everyone else should understand that this is in no way a reflection on what they did in the very sad situation they found themselves in. I said before and I’ll say again that they did the best they could and probably...

It is a diving bird. I saw him go under for a very long time. Actually never saw him come back up. I know someone here will know for sure. Thanks, Keith

The area includes Johnson Mt, Mt. Shaw, Mt. Roberts, Bayle Mt. Mt. Whittier, etc. It looks like it would be a great area to hike and maybe camp but I have no information on the area in any of my current books that I can remember. That area is encompassed by Rt. 25, Rt. 109, Rt. 171. Any hiking...
