A new notice was put up on the US Forrest Service website yesterday. https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/whitemountain/notices/?cid=FSEPRD729199 Looks like they are closing down more of the Forrest. Unfortunately, the Exhibit A link does not seem to be working. Anybody have any real information?

Hiking Katahdin has been on my bucket list for many years. Attempted to set up a trip last year, but was hit with various illnesses and related setbacks. Made reservations for a date earlier this month, only to have the forecast turn to heavy rain. Was fortunate enough to be able to change the...

I will be going to California for my brother's wedding on Oct 2 in Oakland. It is near San Francisco. I'll be "stuck" in the area for a few days. I am not interested in any city-centric tourism. Does anyone know of any decent hikes, peaks, or other outdoor stuff that I could do wile out there...
