Saw a nice pair of Marmot leather work gloves. I'm always looking for gloves for backyard work - espec cold weather. But at ($35) 3.5 x the cost of Sears / Home Depot ($10) gloves, wonder about the benefit. These is no seam where the fingers meets the palm, so perhaps more comfy when gripping...

Love to see some of those massively overweight newswomen on NYC stations make that trip. Or maybe not.

Back in the 70s, I had purchased a Gerry (remember them) tent from the Boston store. After using it, and therefore having the opportunity to stare at a hole in an upper inner panel, I went back to the store for remedy. The GM of the store told me to FO as I had actually used it. I contacted...

Puke Peak?

And down south as well. Check this. The hi winds introduced an 80+ ft pine to my family room Thur. ok. How do I post a pix here???????

Had a roaring sinus infection over last 2 weeks. Felt pretty cr@ppy.

Not clear enuff on time-of-day. Have heard it at 6-9pm, 11pm-2am, and 4-5am. Maybe other times, but either not listening or asleep. The url for the great horned owl above sounds spot on.

The sounds are all 'whoo' s, not any other vocalization like a 'screech'. I tried to capture its cadence by using the who and whoo to denote the length of the 'who'. Another try with the whos: long short short long, pause long pause long. The difference between the long and short is more...

Have a merry and a happy everyone.

I have an owl that has taken up residence by the bedroom window. Hoots pm and am, and in between. Anyone know of a hooting website that I might i/d the rascal?? It goes: whoo-who-who-whoo whoo whoo, more or less regularly. There was a story in local newspaper last month about a screech owl...

So you believe a movie over real data?

What's the ' newly reopened Northern Peak Trail'??

I guess rescue $$ stories have run their course.

Thanks. From another thread, Peak Experiences sounds interesting. Speaking of, ... on 2nd thought, I'll do another thread on this.

Interesting story in WSJ last week about charging people for rescue from storms (eg, Sandy). Mentions NH billing hikers for rescue. "New Hampshire bills hikers who, through negligence, require "costly and dangerous rescues." The state charged one hiker roughly $30,000 for a rescue that...

What are the Wildcat / Carter peaks as seen from the Mt W Obs cam?? http://www.mountwashington.org/weather/cam/deck/

Not exactly Blackrock. We'll see what happens when a bunch of arogent yahoos try to implement change. Then again, EMS needs help.

Any good outdoor books to consider for the season?? Need a few ideas.

Thanks for all the advice. I knew there were other hikers that marveled at the maples, and their syrup, when hiking by them. The syrup that I bought was somewhat as a flier. It was Berkley & Jensen (HQ Westborough, MA), perhaps better known as BJs wholesale store. It is labeled 'pure maple...

Just bought some '100% maple syrup' locally, but it's VERY clear that it is not. Must be diluted with water as it is extremely non-viscous. Tastes sugary as well. Anyone know of a good brand of the REAL stuff from VT / NH? I live in N NJ, so perhaps by mail? Store?? website??
