A little less ad noise. https://www.wcvb.com/article/missing-hiker-from-massachusetts-found-dead-new-hampshire/60781837

Interesting. I wonder if that's an hypothesis the authorities have thought of. I don't know how much news coverage this has had, so I suppose if someone gave him a lift they may not be aware of this. This also could work from the other direction. Possibly could have started on the Webster Cliff...

Resumed the search, pretty extensively. Nothing new. https://nhfishgame.com/2024/05/06/search-for-missing-massachusetts-man-resumes-but-no-new-leads/

Not knowing for sure his ability or destination, everything is speculation. The note mentioned Jefferson or Adams. But starting there doesn't make sense if that was his plan. Quite a few years ago someone ended up in the Dry River Wilderness after taking the Mt. Clinton Tr. Some people know...

Maybe too late, but this is a favorite of mine. First, MapAdventures Acadia is a must have. Since this time of year the Bubble Pond parking lot is still open, doing a loop, hitting the peaks around Jordan Pond is an awesome hike. I always go clockwise. This is just one version. You can add 3...

Not a good day to be messing around with water crossings.

A rare event for sure. But, I do remember the Total Eclipse July 20th 1963. Don't remember the exact % where I was. Just guessing, 90. Just remember it looking like twilight in the afternoon. I'm all set with the sh*t storm the traffic will be like on I's 93 & 95. What I get from where I am...

Been in that area 3 times, only to use 27A to get to Rocky Branch Dome. (Not an official name as far as I know.) Very cool little knob.

Since we've drifted away :LOL:, from Sawyer River Road, I have a question about Rocky Branch Rd. Non-winter parking was at a gate, just before the first of the 2 bridges going over Rocky Branch River. The first being an older wooden bridge. The second the newly replaced. My question is, could...

I was at the RBR bridge last, in October 2022 and it was still there. However, the road which was severely washed had been repaired. My previous visit was 2019. It would have needed to be repaired to get equipment up to, and remove the bridge. Have no idea if that happened sometime last year...

Didn't realize they finally removed it.

https://publications.americanalpineclub.org/articles/13198304600/Frostbite-Hypothermia-Bad-Weather-Exposure-Lost-Inadequate-Equipment-New-Hampshire-Mount-Washington There was a great recall of this event by another SAR team member who was a friend of Dows. It was on PBS several years ago. Point...

His mother stated in an interview on AP, "he was trying to be his personal best." I assume that is for the Pemi Loop in winter, which is what he was doing.

Definitely going to be some issues from this storm. Hopefully no major washouts.

No, they aren't. But, tromping around were they could be sunbathing isn't something I need to do again. ;)
