WOW! Proud to see the Osseo Trail sign pulling in BIG $$$!

Each RL is responsible to walk each trail in their Region at least once over a 2 year period. They then, in turn, file a report on each segment and its conditions according to standards given by the AMC and/or USFS. If these are found to be below acceptable, often the RL will assist them in...

I know that you can receive a meal the day of your trailwork over at Joe Dodge, and for applicable Adopters (such as those who have trails originating in the confines of Franconia Notch Sate Park) can use some extra tent platforms at no charge while working their trail. Outside of that, and...

Thanks dr! and by the way, our good ol' Maine Coon is doing great!

Thanks Tim, its easy to have a lot of feelings and thoughts on the post. I appreciate your feedback.

My privilege, freighttrain, than you for the thoughts and your views on this post. It brings back a lot of memories.

Not that I know of, it would solely be your choice to stick with one trail alone and fall into a complete, satisfied obsession. We did that with Osseo. We took the first half, then once under control, and happy with the result, took on the second half as well. I would love to take on another...

I believe it mostly deals with the trails and the juridstiction they fall under. Cooperation is good (last I knew) between AMC & USFS when it comes to adopting. For the most part the methods of labor are the same, a basic skills class given by the AMC is applicable for both. Outside of that...

Sweet cooperhill, tweetn' it is a great idea!

I would like to stick with the article and mention that the efforts, sacrifice, and pure guts of SAR are to be heralded. It has been many years since I have been involved, mostly the late 80's and into the 90's. "Its the New Hampshire way" are the only words I can agree with that truly sum it...

If anybody is interested, the AMC has updated its Orphaned Trails list as of 11/14/2011. It can be found here: http://www.outdoors.org/conservation/trails/volunteer/adopt/adopt-orphan-trails.cfm I am shamelessly plugging this as there are trails in the Franconia South Region, which I have the...

Good points John, and everybody else too. Let's face it, when we go into the woods without a "plan", "agenda", even a specific "goal", they can be some of the best jaunts ever. A hike need not be deemed successful or enjoyable just because we reach a specific point or peak, but results more in...

Agreed, the old rule is true, wool, even when wet, retains heat far, far better. I also have two pairs of military surplus wool pants I have used when working in the woods in winter or hunting. Used them a little while ago when spending time in Forester Jake's sugarbush and they were excellent...

I agree! That makes two of us! Just to experience even one day!

Two notable exceptions to when the heat took its toll in the past are: Braddock's March at the beginning of the F&I War, and the Battle of Monmouth, 1778 during the Revolution. Especially the latter, heatstroke killed as many as actual battle. With temps over 100, it didn't matter what you were...

Thanks Puck! I was hoping you would enjoy it!

Thanks Brian! "purty" and its pronunciation is a word not used enough today!

Thanks Brian! if you check too often you may get addicted to TR's!:D Yea, anything original from that time period should be in a museum, and never fired again due to the historic value. It is 1st generation to me and was made by Early Rustic Arms, which is a family run operation, father & son...

pleasure to meet you last Saturday!

Thanks chip, wool rules!
