After my Friday night stay at the Roadhouse, i have an easy morning and then drive to Jay Peak Ski Area in Vt for the wedding of a good friend's son, about 3 1/2-4 hours away on a series of nothing roads across western ME and northern NH/VT. If you've not been to Jay in awhile, you would not...

Moose of course (crazy tired right now), but i don't know how to edit titles?? Friday 8/5 Started a long weekend by driving to Stratton , up 27 and across the border at Coburn Gore and then to Megantic, an area i've never explored. The peaks i was interested in were on the boundary swath NW of...

JC--Beaudry is still very nice...and i think there's room for honest difference of opinion re desirability of wind turbines in area like this (for another forum of course :))

...the joy of a day when everything goes as planned..... The night was clear, but the moon wasn't yellow nor did the leaves come tumbling down as i headed toward Stratton and the Beaudry, home of ME 3Ks and the Kibby Wind Project Part A & B and Antler Hill-2650'-With no beta, i planned two...

.... been putting these two off for awhile as i dreaded the drive...about 370 miles total including 150 of dirt....check them out on Delorme pg 56..... I headed up toward Millinocket with a "sliver" moon just coming up..turned out the Golden Rd, north on Telos to the gate for North Maine Woods...

Roy--i'll put this info to good use --my mistake in that i meant Moose Hill and Wait on the swath, not Moose Mt and Layton which are exactly where you placed them :) --Clear Pond Mt--on Pass land? or they might have info re road or?? thanks jim

hi Peter--miss hiking with you jim

Hi Roy--sometimes i get tunnel vision working on approach plan possibilities for a number of peaks at the same time, almost all w/o any feedback/beta -this possible route looks like the Pleasant Mt Rd and lesser extension off Rt 17 near where i was yesterday for Crosstown Rd and Pt 2938. As...

Abraham-better chance for solitude to savor moment :)

well, it wasn't 80 degrees when i left at 330 this morning...been trying to make up for 5+ lost weeks; probably too much, too soon Pt 2938' (wrong in title :( )-Running on fumes from lack of sleep for a few nights, i retraced my route from yesterday to Mexico, but turned north on Rt 17 toward...

in case you're wondering :)....... I found it very difficult to find "wide" forefoot boots to try on. I started with your suggestions, used the annual boots summary in Backpacker and talked with anybody i thought might have ideas. Relatively few companies manufacture a wide version of their...

After a 96 degree day in Orrington (i think the hottest in 9 years we've lived here) and with a similar forecast for today, i headed out very early (230) for another modest "working my way back" hike. Toward western Maine on Rt 2, thru Mexico (the mill is always pungent;)), turn onto Rt120 in...

more than you want to know :).......started the day with trepidation, but a dollop of hope...It's been 5 weeks since i hobbled out of the Rainbow Mt fiasco and the "little toes" issue turned out a bit more serious than black toenails. 3-4 weeks weeks of pain, no socks, no sneaks, no run, not...

Hi all--yes, i know this isn't the runner forum :), but because of the help i got on boot ideas and the fact i know there are a lot of serious runners on here, i thought i'd give it a try..... I am just recovering from a serious injury to both pinky toes (self induced) and am reevaluating my...

thanks to all so far (even if no shoutout below :))- -i have been (finally, after 4 1/2 weeks of craziness) to good sports med podiatrist and a sports/running PT guy i love in last 2 days--they are optimistic (and so am i) --they marveled at not having had cases of pinkys beaten like i had...

help---after trashing my little toes about 5 weeks ago on a long hike (never anything nearly this bad) and just now starting to recover (little activity, barefoot Tevas, no shoes or socks and feet off the bed for weeks), i'm looking for wider footwear I'm 65, about 5'11" and 170 pounds...

Kevin's reply +1 :)---for obvious reasons, i usually steer far from any of these discussions, but the almost knee-jerk opposition to any possible energy project/source/solution/help when it effects "me" (in reality or perception) is very discouraging jim

Hi all-looking for advice after brutalizing my little toes Saturday-much worse than the occasional black nail i've had in the past. Hiked too long, too fast, downhills; nails not well trimmed and soft from sweat during hike-perfect storm. For hours my little toes had a jolt of pain with almost...

Hi Roy--not sure anyone will be able to follow this, but... i assume you're referring to the road that starts near the AT and runs south of Hurd Pond--now i remember looking at that road when i first started to plan Rainbow, but discarded it and never considered it again when i made final plans...

B--nice pics--Tumbledown is always a good place to be though i'd rather have some weather to inhabit your beach ( right at Pine St :) ) down there for a few days j
