The upside of this is that it provides a great opportunity to do some volunteer trail clearing and reconstruction.

Depending on one’s insurance, an ambulance transport can be an expensive ride, like thousands of dollars. And you end up at an ER where more money is charged. Some folks just can’t afford it. I think I read this person did have a HikeSafe card, so that shows some level of responsibility.

Haven’t done it in years, but I recall it as a very fun way to do Flume, from the back side no less.

The Eaglet !!

Yup, Nh Rolls on tourism. This is same gov who criticized the state water resources board two months ago for posting warnings about high levels of ecoli and cyanobacteria at popular beaches and lakes.

I remember Sierra’s cogent comments about Artist Bluff leaf peepers from last year about this time. Well it Looks even more intense this year… if that is possible!

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks for the insight. This brings to mind the recent kerfuffle over Messner not standing on the actual summit of Annapurna but 15 feet below the high point of the summit ridge. If Irvine summitted and died on the descent he still got to the top. The rest is...

My first response to this story was amazement. The second was skepticism. I mean who sews complete name labels into their mountaineering socks? Was this to prevent Sandy’s socks from getting mixed up with George’s? Or were the socks monogrammed by the maker? If so why not just his initials? I...

We had a mixed bag of wx with sun, clouds, drizzle and eventually moderate rain. But the hike was great and foliage beautiful. Tree pic is from Rumney center.

So true. We took trail up and enjoyed the nice steady ascent. Then the rains came and we opted for the snowmobile trail down to avoid all the slick rock hopping.

And I’m doing Stinson tomorrow as I peck away at the 52. Go team VFTT !

Too funny…. But probably true!

My wife encourages me to finish the Terrible 25, complete my Winter 4Ks solo, and not waste our money on SPOT or InReach type devices. Should I worry?

Funny, I was thinking the same thing about you! Me, I don’t have the patience.

Fabiano mountain boots were my go to in the 70s. Also used Fabiano Black Beauties as a rock climbing shoe for a few years as alternative to the ever present RRs. God I’m old!

Which reminds me….. Do we even know who is moderating / running this spicy site now that Peakbagger has relinquished the reins and whip?

Rode the Kanc yesterday (10/3) and it was very busy. Most popular trail heads full and overflowing and lots of peeper traffic. Foliage nice at the top but muted at lower elevations. This pic taken behind Woodstock Inn/Brewery,

I must admit that I don’t get your point, although I’m trying to understand. Every Natl Park leases out guest facilities operations. Most Natl Forrest’s lease out permits to businesses like river runners, Horse packers and guiding operations. Is it that AMC as a nonprofit should not be allowed...

AMC is a MA-based organization with facilities in several states, all of which charge similar rates, What’s your gripe here Skiguy? NH hut $$ should stay in NH?

We live in an Internet era where “branding” is as important ( if not more important) than substance. It’s a field day for image consultants and marketing folks. So what can we conclude from the Clubs shape shifting logos? A guess: The stick man was designed to play to a young demographic...
