    South Moat - Pretty pokey

    Way to go peakbagger! Pokey or not, you went up and down under your own power. That's great. You're an inspiration. Mountains still seem a long way off for me but I'm making progress. For the first time in 7 months, I walked back and forth over the 1890's pedestrian bridge in town. It's only a...

    John Judge Out at AMC

    I had to refresh my memory and look up the new logo. Wow! That is astoundingly bad. It has to be the stupidest, ugliest, most hard to decipher logo ever designed. It's as if they held a contest and intentionally picked the most abstruse and ridiculous design on purpose. I know nothing about the...

    Caution: Ingesting hallucinogens when climbing mountains may result in you tripping on the way down.

    Peak Bragging 2021 - Let's hear what you did!

    Thank you Mike, Chris, and Tim and congrats Tim on your amazing accomplishment. Everyone listed in the thread on grid and other list finishers is an inspiration. Yes Chris, this is the toughest mountain I have ever climbed but I am on the way up now and I'm not turning back.

    Peak Bragging 2021 - Let's hear what you did!

    In 2020, I did not make it to NH due to Covid, breaking a streak of 25 straight years visiting the Granite state to hike. So, I was determined to start a new streak in 2021 and succeeded in getting there in late August with hopes of hiking every day and exploring some more 3K peaks that I mostly...

    No More Parking at Lowes Store

    Maineguy, if you are older than me, you belong in a museum with your ancient map. Well done.

    No More Parking at Lowes Store

    Actually, the little book is dated 1977. The map is dated 1985. Not sure if I got them separately or together. I guess they are now artifacts.

    No More Parking at Lowes Store

    I have the 1985 version of that Randolph Paths book. Still have the map that came with it as well. I think I sent away for it. It was not purchased at Lowes although I did park there a couple of times. That place was classic "Old NH."

    Has anyone here ever come across human remains in the woods?

    Caution: Thread drift. I found a body once on the Mass/RI line in Westport, Mass but she was sitting at the wheel of her car with a view of the Westport River and the marshes. There was no mystery. An empty pill bottle and a suicide note could be seen on the passenger seat. I could read the note...

    Kilkenny Ridge Traverse - November 6-7, 2021

    As always, it's a pleasure to tag along and experience your hike without having to make the effort. I loved the closing drone shot of Roger's Ledge. Great job with the video, the soundtrack and the commentary which is often self-effacing and never boastful despite your accomplishments. After...

    Winter Hiking Season over before it started.

    That's a tough one PB. Sorry to hear that. It takes time but you will heal up and probably be back on the trails by spring if you pay due diligence to your PT. Good luck and keep posting. You're my go-to source for northern NH info.

    Lost Hiker on Isolation - Not a nice night to be out

    I'm not taking sides here, I'm just trying to break this down logically. If Sierra, who admits to being in his 50s and has probably been hiking at least 30 years, has never needed to use his "system" to survive, then doesn't it prove that his system is and has been perfectly adequate for him...

    more New England mountain lion rumors

    Haha, that's right. I saw a turkey drinking a pina colada at the People's Republik, and his hair was perfect.

    more New England mountain lion rumors

    I saw this turkey two blocks from Central Square in Cambridge in August. I think he can be considered a city resident if he has learned to use the crosswalk.

    Brad Ray has passed

    There is a disconnect between the 2 above posts in terms of age and location among other things. Are you sure that's the right person Mike?

    That's a great name, Wolfe Tone. Assisted perhaps by Timber Lobo?

    Acadia National Park, September 2021

    Perhaps the statute of limitations applies and I am safe to return after all these years. I did have another uneventful and positive trip to Arcadia circa 1980-82 on which we climbed Cadillac and went to the Blowhole and managed not to get in any trouble. Real nice photos btw Tim. Thanks for...

    Acadia National Park, September 2021

    Ah yes, Acadia National Park, the scene of one of my life's greatest humiliations. Back around 1985, I was one of the leaders of a group of campers there. As the first one on the scene, everything was registered in my name. During the course of the evening, everything that could go wrong did go...

    That's a pretty cool little plane. What is it?
