Bangor Daily News has a batch of Mt Katahdin Photos in anticipation of summer https://www.bangordailynews.com/2024/05/05/outdoors/jaw-dropping-katahdin-views-joam40zk0w/ https://www.bangordailynews.com/2024/05/05/outdoors/jaw-dropping-katahdin-views-joam40zk0w/ They skipped the view from the...

https://www.wmur.com/article/vehicle-break-ins-new-hampshire-trailheads/60691615 Hope its isolated versus some sleazebag(s) moving into the area. Most car break ins are crimes of opportunity, if someone sees something they want, they pop a window to get it. I see cars all the time loaded with...

https://nhfishgame.com/2024/05/03/lost-hiker-rescued-from-great-gulf/ Quite the "Oops" on navigation. I can envision the upper Great Gulf trail still has snow measured in feet and every bit of it is "rotten" so post holing is a almost a guarantee. So was this a rescue or was F&G merely...

Unless you know where the greenhouse is being built you would not know it existed. https://www.conwaydailysun.com/berlin_sun/news/local/business-is-sprouting-at-north-country-growers/article_f6c1977e-073e-11ef-bee8-43f0407772a2.html

https://patch.com/new-hampshire/concord-nh/nh-fish-game-locate-overdue-ultra-runner-trail-lincoln I am surprised there are not more rescues of this type.

My frequent shortcut between RT 16 and RT 2 in the Gorham/ Randolph area is still officially closed and was blocked off with orange cones as of yesterday. It is usually still signed closed but passable this time of year but I expect the heavy rains events in the last 6 months did heavy damage...

https://friendsofsearsisland.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/FOSI-Map-for-web-2022.pdf Large undeveloped coastal islands in Maine with walk in access are pretty rare in Maine. Sears Island in Penobscot Bay was bought by the state of Maine in the past when the land rush for coastal maine real...

Looking at the woods and the forecast, its time to brush off the tick prevention gear.

Looking like I may be over that way for few days. I have visited Acadia back in college but never hiked there. So what are the best or must do hikes? It will be soon to avoid the crowds.

No doubt the net snowpack went down with the wet weather the last few days, but a reminder that its still April in northern NH. Just a trace of fresh snow on elevated surfaces at 1400 feet at the Gorham/Randolph line.

Either folks listened to F&G to avoid the backcountry or the ones that did go did not need rescuing? Looking at New England Trail Conditions there are multiple trail reports including mine on Eclipse day. Of course if someone wanted to be in the path of totality, the options were kind of slim in...

Its looking like the next 48 hours is going to be the spring melt in the Northern NH. The snow pack is still up in the woods and its its "rotten" and ready to turn into water. Stream are already running a bit high and the forecast is light rain today and warm temps with much heavier rain...

I was up early and decided to head over to the parking lot in Stark NH at Christine Lake. Its a paved road and plowed to the summer club gate. The driveway to the boat landing and parking was not, but most vehicles could make it through to the parking. There looked to be few folks who had camped...

It started snowing at 3:30 at my place in Gorham. I was out throwing firewood earlier today in Randolph and saw a very rare event, Appalachia parking lot was completely empty. I also didnt see any cars at Lowes. That is quite rare as there are some folks who like to head out in storms and get...

A friend of mine let me know about this public meeting tonight. I have heard some second hand rumbling that locals may be unhappy on how the Randolph Ski Glades are being managed on the Randolph Town Forest. When the glades were first established Grantie State Backcountry Alliance used the...

https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/maine/articles/2024-03-28/high-court-rules-maines-ban-on-sunday-hunting-is-constitutional Maine has a fairly low bar for citizens initiatives. Right to Food was a citizen initiative that many voters didnt understand but voted for it anyhow. There was an...

I was getting worried when I saw the headline from Boston.com https://www.boston.com/travel/travel/2024/03/27/campsite-in-maine-should-be-on-your-bucket-list-readers-digest/ Wow I can get the real beta on the best camping in the park. Here is the source of the Boston.com article...
