One of the things I like about VFTT is, "ask, and you'll probably get a decent answer". Thanks for the cogent explaination, Peakbagger. TomK

I admit I'm not intimate with high finance. Could you please explain to me how an entity paying rentals to itself is a benefit? Would be interested to learn how that works. TomK

More mellow options A couple more mellow options on the AT a little south of the ones mentioned: Stewart Hollow campsite is about 1.3 miles from the trailhead at the end of River Road in Kent. Stewart Hollow shelter is a few hundred feet further north. Stony Brook campsite is about half a mile...

The enforcement of rules get ignored all the time. Please don't ask me to cite examples, it would lead us down a rathole we don't want to go near. TomK

Finally this year, I got, if not to the Whites, at least to NH, and hiked the Wapack Trail from NH101 to the northern end. Some years ago I had gone up the Marion Davis Trail and down the Wapack, I thought I'd like to visit North Pack. Drove up Tuesday, stayed with some friends in Dublin, went...

We found a ladies medium LL Bean polartec jacket on the Wapack Trail Oct 21, 2015, about 50 feet or so north of the summit of North Pack Monadnock. I thought the color was deep blue, Al thought the color was grey. We tied it to the kiosk at the Mountain Road parking lot at the north end of the...

1) When I was much younger, I didn't particularly enjoy hiking for it's own sake. I wanted to get up to where the views were (I used to tell my friends I enjoyed getting high). Hiking was what I had to do to get there. Nowadays, I don't get to the views so much, but have learned to enjoy the...

Depends on your definition of "relatively new". I heard about and tried to practice LNT in the early/mid seventies... TomK

Shoe Goo? I'd think that dipping the ends of the shoelace in Shoe goo, or really any waterproof glue, ought to do the trick... And since you say the laces are on the long side, if that doesn't work, you can always clip them a bit and try something else... TomK

Shooting for "48 in 48" Congrats on your finish! I started with Carrigan in '74. Had 33 by '78. But no new ones since '95. 3 to go. I figure my odds of doing all three are around 30%. Adams may be the easiest, if I overnight at the Madison Spring hut. Bondcliff (which wasn't on the list when I...

C'mon, do you think NP (or anyone doing a project) is going to display any photos except those carefully taken and cropped to put what they want to do in anything but the best light? Sort of like those photos in the hotel ads that conveniently fail to show that adjacent railroad track that a...

I enjoyed it as a teenager Like griffin, I did a lot of 3 season camping with my parents when I was younger. Ours was a Cox camper. When we arrived at a site, we'd unhook it, and my Dad and I had no difficulty wheeling it into whatever spot seemed best. I don't recall any difficulty putting it...

Might have just been sore they didn't think of it first :) TomK

I had this issue, too Out of the box, most of the compass directions are N,NE,E,SE,S,SW,W,NW. If you want to change this to a degree bearing, from the main menu, hit Setup, Heading, Display, and choose "Numeric Degrees". See here

First, condolences to the family and friends of the deceased. I believe that sober, thoughtful discussion of the applicable facts of a tragedy such as this one may result in learning that may result in the avoidance of future occurances of incidents of this nature. I believe that this has been...

My prescription transition sunglasses are about a year or so old, and they sometimes get a bit darker than I would like, especially in the cold weather, so while they may have improved some over the years, I don't think they have it solved. You might talk to the optician at a "mom and pop"...

Resolved I e-mailed them one last time, and I actually got a useful response. This time they had me unpack the distribution executable with an unzip utility, and then run the BCMAIN.MSI directly. Worked out fine. I needed to do the same thing for Version 4.4.6. I wrote back to thank them, and...

Is anyone else having a problem installing the latest update (4.4, I think) of Garmin's Basecamp software? In late November, the software notified me that there was an update to install, and when I attempted to install it, I got a notification that Windows Media Player V11 was required before it...

Mt Coolidge Motel in Lincoln This would fall under the category of "moderately priced" rather than cheap, but I figured this thread was the best place to put this. I owe these folks a "thanks", and figured this was the best way to do that. The Mt Coolidge Motel is north of Lincoln on US 3...

Give me a way to pay cash, in person, and I'll get one. I had planned to buy one, as a way of supporting those responsible for SAR, but if I understand correctly, the only way to buy a card is via the internet, and I don't do financial transactions of any sort on the internet. TomK
