:eek: Ouch! Man I am sorry to hear you got hurt, but jeepers bubba, aren't inverted airs best done with skis attached to the feet ;) I hope you can get through these days of soreness well and heal up without loosing any of your humor.

Not sure that it is still there but there was a memorial cross placed on the shore about 100 meters North of the old shelter location. Kind of a nice spot actually.

Super image...cool packs! That's a wonderful spot for an overnight, but it is a National Scenic Area...maybe setting that status had something to do with the shelter being moved. I stayed there in a cozy snow cave a few winters ago so I could get some photos with dawn light on the cliffs...

The current map on Topozone is out of date. The NE end of the Ocseola Trail is in Mad River Gap, right at the height of land which is also the bound of the East Branch drainage of the Pemi. The trail roughly follows the boundary of the drainage as it heads westsouthwest from the Mad River Gap...

New vs Old The slide is a favorite with BC skiers and boarders. In spring there was a fair amount of water on the slide, but the new trail crosses a stream as it acsends SW below the cliffs. Pretty pood water too. That stream issues from the dark SE facing dike that is home to "On the Drool...

The store where I work part-time special-ordered the boots (fabric is blue/green color) for a customer who now won't take them. The store is stuck and will easily knock 20% off. The boots are new in the box. Let me know if you want to make an offer I'll give you the particulars so you can...

Stop in at the Pemigewaset office of the WMNF...they have great ski maps of perhaps a dozen trails. many are long and challenging, quite a few are mellow and fun. Skiing out of the Livermore Road parking lot is great, lots of trails over there.

I just heard it was Alec Stall. I'm sure these next few days will be very for his family and friends. Sincere condolences to all.

food bag raids might be a problem...there are bunches of four-legged, redheads with attitude in both locations. If you aren't taking snowshoes you might want to stick with the Liberty Cabin. Warning, it was a little stinky from some rude persons last summer...I have always avoided it...it is...

That $45 price was for the Equine blend, the stuff we'd use is $9.95 for 4oz. DEET for me...Ben's 100% please!

cigars work better, but that makes for a lot of solo hiking....:(

It is a blast! Did that a few years back with a buddy so we could work on self arrest at higher speeds. we used 330 feet of 7mm double/dry cord as a precaution and dyneema slings as harnesses (to minimize the drag as compared to real harnesses). The trick was to run out the slide and arrest...

howdy: I have a theory that Black Flies have a secret weapon. Could it be an enzyme in their saliva that creates memory loss? I mention this because I see an awful lot of hikers in the woods in June...peak season for NE blackflies. Now what was I saying....????
