Thanks. Weird, all the maps I have show 2.9 miles total.

I thought the Mt. Clinton junction was a little further from 302 - like almost 3.0 miles. So it’s still unclear to me where and how he got into trouble, but seems it had to have been with a river crossing.

Did he go down Mt. Clinton or the Dry River Cutoff? Mt. Clinton ends at Dry River to the southeast whereas the Cutoff leaves you much further north up Dry River where I suspect the trail situation is messier.

Thx. Had heard same. That said, I’ve never seen the northern lights and suspect they are a made up phenomenon by the deep state. 😂

5/9 link on the FS FB page isn’t working. It’s annoying they put the list on FB given so many folks don’t use FB.

Too nanny state for me. People should have more freedom (as we have for our outdoor endeavors) but of course need to be held accountable. As such, rescuers should never feel compelled to go out for a rescue if conditions are poor. In fact, I think rescuers go way beyond what they should have...

If I don't post in this thread again by 5p tomorrow, I want you guys to call F&G. Sorry, I know I'm being silly but I can't help myself. I carry a Garmin InReach as well btw.

I always carry an extra pack that is filled only with headlamps. I like to be prepared…

Mcnta5 is right but unfortunately once areas become known they either have to be managed really well or they will close. See this all the time with climbing areas. Seems like the Randolph glade will need a separate access point outside the neighborhood otherwise problems will persist. Folks who...

Round two might be coming later this week.

The bridge is gone. Checked it this a.m. I was last there at the end of October so they certainly hustled to remove it. First pic is looking across RB. Second is looking back to the little wooden bridge.

I was there last fall and the bridge was in place (though you'd have to climb a little to get onto it so folks were just crossing the river underneath it). I'd be surprised if the FS mounted an operation to remove it and it got done that quickly. I'll go back and check once the snow clears a...

I have never had any issues with hunters in the woods so never understood the Sunday ban (I'm not a hunter btw). Seems a lot more risky to drive to my hiking destination.

From just below those steep slopes you can whack over to the Langdon slabs and can make your way up the slabs through a large vegetated weakness in the middle. Very nice little outing. Just need to go later in summer when water levels low.

I plan to break trail today…in my back yard. Not sure how far I’ll get.

Sad about the truck driver. Definitely a few feet in MWV. Lots of plowing and cleanup.

He's not asking for money but instead a donation, right? ;) The more we think about it, the less inclined we are to go anywhere. Seems a hassle for 3 minutes. I don't really get the intrigue here. Better to just be on a mountaintop any of the other 364 days of the year, particularly on a...

Was 68. Too young. Good climber and filmmaker.

Winter ascent in Crocs. Who's with me?

Joe was just at Kennett High last Friday for a mini film festival that among other things included a short film on the Hugh Herr rescue.
