Thanks for the helpful replies and advice for my query. I'm surprised to hear that my tent might be on its last legs. I have to ask, with some explanation, I had my tent stored in a stuff sack, stuffed for about four years. Would this cause any problems since I did not use it? Other than that...

I have an EMS Moonshadow used this past week and noticed that the material was sticky, but not stuck together. I seem sealed it about six years ago when I got it. How does one go about removing the stickiness? Cheers, Ridgewalker

Elephant Head is supposed to be fun, and if feeling adventurous check out the source of the Saco!

That's more than what meets the eye, by your word, sounds like a great place to explore, albeit the descent...it looked rough.

Oh wow, what an interesting route you took. How was the pond, Marty and I were looking at it from one of the ledges and commented on the possibility of moose wandering over there. Wish we could have passed ways, been awhile since Pat and Audrey's a while back!

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods; There is a rapture on the lonely shore; There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and the music in its roar: I love not man none the less, but Nature more… Lord Byron The peak, Sandwich, is truly an underrated peak, even if someone...

Congrats Jason, glad to see you had a good group to celebrate!

Earl, thanks for inviting Marty and I. We really enjoyed climbing with you and the whole group. The bushwhack was the part I looked forward to and felt that was the most peaceful area if one was to solo it. Best, Clarke

My thoughts exactly, otherwise I'd say a bucket.

That's too bad, but one could be speculating what the new shelter will be called, "Burnt Shelter"?

I agree. We've encountered people who get hung up about rules and forget about reality and common sense. It's all personal choice and after all we're adults we choose to follow the guidelines as how we play in the woods.

I'd prefer something that could be stowed easily in one's pack. That has been rare occurrence, but when my dad, brother, and I hiked together, we took the AMC book, which was helpful for last minute planning. The local lore is great for spotting historical features on the trails and the...
