    soft shell Q

    Never thought much about soft shells, until now - got one for birthday, and am curious as how use it. It's a NF 'ninble zip-shirt'. smooth outside, softer inside, but only 1 layer material. Doesn't say what material is, or how to clean. water-resistant (not w-proof), so not an outer layer...

    Hips

    I may be looking at a second (this time R hip) sooner than I had planned. Wooppie. However, have had NO issues with the L, and that was 1.5 years ago.

    Hips

    Jazz - great to hear you are doing well. As for me, hard to believe, but I'm 1 year (11/10) from the surgery. Go for my 1 yr follow-up next week. Still walking 2-4 miles / day say 3-4x / week depending on weather, and lifting weights. Keep doing those adductor stretches. I've noticed...

    Ellen/Abraham...VT

    We descended the ski trails at GE (interesting to see in summer w/o snow) and got a ride back to SB from a GE worker getting off shift. Lucky? There was some confusion at the top of the SB chair as to where the trail to GE started (at least on that day). We started down (ie to the N) a ski...

    Hips

    *** I made it, but it rained like hell the entire time I was there. Rematch coming. Good to hear that you had a good experience. The surgical pain will pass in a week, and then a few more weeks to get 'stretched' again. Keep doing those adductor exercises, etc, every day - even 2-3x / day...

    LOST HIKER IN Spaulding mountain area maine.

    I appreciate that this thread continues with its content. I originally was intrigued by the mystery of the story, but have become, as others have, more reflective on what I would do in same situation. I've been hiking for over 40 years, and have certainly had a few 'where the f**k are we'...

    Baxter

    Thanks. BSP rules and pop advice have been somewhat confusing. Have decided on dayhike access - which seems less complex - so as not to waste time on non-starter decisions. Reservation? / arrive at 4am to wait in line? / etc with other anecdotes found here and there have added to the mystery...

    Baxter

    You may remember that last year at about this time, I stumbled out of the 100 mile wilderness at Baxter, but decided against a summit of the K due to really sore hips. Turned out I needed a hip replace, which I did in Nov. I'm looking for advice on how to manage a day hike attempt at the...

    Baxter

    Considering Baxter for a day hike or 2 1-2 weeks from now. What are the odds I can get in w/o a resiv? Should I try to get resivs for 1-2 days ahead of time?
