I took a dunk in Chocorua Lake today and it seemed as high as it usually is mid- July.

Most of you have probably read about the ice avalanche on Marmolada in the Dolomites. I came across this amazing pic of the aftermath. I looks like much more than a collapsed serac, as reported by the news services. If you inspect the pic you can see that the entire surface of the glacier...

Right on PB. My bad, sorry gang.

Not a rabbit hole at all Tim, The distinction here is NH has been targeted by the Free State movement as a state where they have a chance of taking power and advancing their agenda. To do so they encourage mass migration here by there adherents. To my knowledge no other political entity has...

Recent legislation passed by the NH legislature and signed into law by the Gov will add a new and exciting element to the ATV fest. Now all participants can ride fully armed in open carry. This I suppose to disuade aggressive bears and fellow riders. Fish and Game I salute you. Your already...

Free Staters are beginning to have an impact here in NH for sure. Elected to the legislature they immediately seek to reduce services, spending and anything else they don't need or want. For a sobering yet humorous account of how this scenario actually played out recently in a real NH town...

I think we need to keep in mind the insidious and debilitating nature of hypothermia, especially as it applies to decision making. No one can know when he started feeling its effects: Mad Hut, T-storm Junction, Jefferson? Slowly but surely his decision making ability was compromised. Plus he...

Anyone know whether the Cog was running during this accident ? He was so close to the tracks.

Holy ****! There are bites and then there are real BITES, which you have. There are a lot of rescue dogs in circulation with very sketchy histories that make them PTSD and otherwise a bit wacky. Rescue is a noble gesture but it is also risky. I’m surprised you didn’t get the old, “Gee he...

Superfeet make a variety of inserts with different heel profiles. Not cheap but might be worth a try. EMS usually has them in stock.

So here's what I don't get about rapid price increases... Maybe someone can explain. The thousands of gallons of gas in the underground Irving tanks was been bought and paid for at some fixed price per gallon. If it takes a week or two to sell that stored and paid for gas, how can the station...

The Madison Boulder is a summit unto itself.

I often think of this issue regarding alpine skiing: With $100 per day lift tickets common and all the associated expenses of travel and food, a ski day burns a few bucks also. I guess that's why folks go for passes like the Ikon.

Fair enough, Conservation is a big part of the mix. Re overpopulation: I don’t know what the carrying capacity of planet earth is or when/if we’ll reach that limit. I do believe we are not the first species to cause changes to our environment by exploiting resources. And worst case is we...

I guess my point was not clear-in my post: 1. It is almost cliche to discredit new technologies because they do not offer a 100% solution. The sun doesn’t always shine, the wind doesn’t always blow. Sure EVs require charging via some means and batteries use precious elements mined from the...

I’ve heard this argument before and must admit I just don’t get it. So are suggesting we go back to coal? What’s you viable solution here?

You never cease to amaze my friend! Hey, given all this excess FREE power, how about installing a Mount Adams Cam" so we can assess conditions in the far northern Pressis?

Just noticed this new view from what the Obs is calling the "Tower Cam." It is an interesting perspective of the actual summit cairn with buildings and Cog in background. Go Obs!!

The Cog shuttles an injured backcountry skier off the hill. She fell on Great Gulf headwall and was walked back up to the tracks. Surprised the Cog was even were running that day. Lucky skier!

It's an interesting route that I've never considered. I laid it out on Gaia and it's about 7.7. miles from Russell Pond to the summit via the North Peaks trail. The steepest section from mile 2 through 5 climbs steadily at 1000 feet per mile and, other than the summit cone would be the most...
