Signs don't seem to work! I think the rock wall is a good idea but loose the sticks! I saw people lounging all over the alpine vegetation on Eisenhower this weekend and there is a sign just before the alpine zone asking people not to do this! I think a caretaker with a taser gun might be a bit...

Thank you vegematic :-) I hope the fungus was contained! What a mess! I am glad to her that this was not an expansion of the campground! This area is great as is! I had heard that this area was now designated wilderness not sure if that is just the other side of 113 (western side ) or both...

Drove by on the way to East B Hill rd to hike Dunns Notch on Sunday! Looked like a little snow up high still! The conditions in the surrounding area (Dunns Notch) were sweltering hot and bone dry in the woods! I have found foot deep snow on Goose Eye ( just south of Old Speck) on Memorial Day...

Does anyone know what the big clear cut around Hastings campground in Evans notch is all about? It was damn ugly driving through there on Sunday! Looks like they are expanding the campground or something! I hope not! This area is so remote and secluded and it would be a shame to be built up!

Man I hope this NH guard thing falls apart. I can't even imagine hiking up on the ridge around Goose eye and hearing explosions and having low flying planes buzzing through. This is a nice remote area of the mountains away from the crowds and buzz of other parts of NH and ME. I wonder if the...

Nh National guard mobile rocket what? Man that is very crazy sounding indeed. What the hell would that be all about? Will we be hiking in the Mahoosucs to the sounds of explosions and whistling rockets holy crap!!!!! Please say it isn't so! I love the Mahoosucs and can't even fathom the idea of...

I hiked Goose Eye from Ketchum (Wright Trail) Saturday 05/16. No bugs to speak of, but my camp is located just before Grafton Notch and the Black fly's were out in Force. I'm guessing that it was an elevation thing for the bug difference. My camp is much lower than the Wright trail. I would...

How about a dashboard sign that says, " Smile I'm in the woods behind you staring you down through the sight of a 357 ". So glad they caught this guy. And how does one come up with an idea to drive 100 miles away to go on a robbery rampage?

Sure am wishing for a thread talking about these sicko's being caught for once. Are there any stories of trail head bandits being nabbed? Where are the cops? Where are the Rangers? This has not yet happened to me but I am nervous every time I get back to the lot to see my car. I don't freak...

So lets raise the cost of our parking passes and build more toilets and rest areas on the Kanc, and remove structures within the Forest. A drive through National Forest. Lets remove some of the rest areas and picnic tables on the Kanc those cost money to maintain over the years as well.

I have always bought a pass and will continue to do so. What happens when you don't display a pass? I have never seen meter police :-) Do the rangers write out tickets? I definitely don't like to think that my money is paying for tourists to do their thing over on the Kanc at rest areas that...

I'm curious if anyone has been on the Pompelly or Marlboro trails on Monadnock? Is there still snow there? We hiked Monadnock on Sunday 04/19 from the Toll House up White arrow to Fairy Spring to Monte Rosa and a whole myriad of trails from there and no real snow or ice to speak of anywhere...

I have never brought my daughter to ski Tucks but if I did I think the conditions would have to be right (we will do it though :-). There is no worse feeling than realizing that you have put your child in a bad spot. I once made a mistake at Sunday River when the Whitecap chairlift was closed...

Thank you! Was thinking on doing Morgan - Percival on Sunday. Funny how years differ so much. I did this hike in April 2005 and it was dry as a bone by mid April , then came the mothers day rains of the century. Hope this trail opens up by end of month!

But this guy apparently didn't stay on the well trodden path. My point is bring the shoes in case you do get disoriented somehow and end up in the Dry River wilderness or other areas that haven't been packed down nicely for you by other kind folks who went before you. I don't want to pile on...

I can see your point on the time of year for Rainier and needing or not needing snowshoes, but I would think late March on Washington you might want to bring them even if you end up leaving them strapped to your pack. Well live and learn luckily for him it was both.

You sure do need to practice. Practice Safety for hiking Mt. Washington. Its altitude has nothing to do with it. This mountain is notorious for bad weather and I would also guess that you would also need snow shoes to do Rainier.

So what is the training weight to train for Mount Washington? I hear of people training on Mount Washington to do other bigger mountains but maybe a little respect for Washington is in order here. Just my opinion but winter and early spring in the whites may take a little practice as well.

Also maybe one of those gag shop fake vomits may do the trick. I just leave a note on the dash that all valuables have been removed. I would be willing to pay extra for my White Mountain parking pass if they could provide a few more patrols etc at a few of the trail heads that they charge us to...
