Well the controversial black/white logo did not last very long. Get hip to the hauntingly familiar new AMC logo. Like it better?

Not a good idea. Example: Hike in Fall during/after heavy leaf drop and you often must rely on blazing to follow the trail. Above tree line blazing helps keep trampers on the established foot path rather than threading herd paths around every obstacle.

Mountain Warehouse is planning a “relaunch” of EMS on Nov 1. Not sure what exactly that entails. To date stores have not received any shipments of third party gear or MW branded gear and Inventory is getting stale. Given the launch is only 4 weeks away, much needs to be done quickly to revive...

Quite a walk Seth. Glad you got your mojo back!

So what we need is a modern day J Raynor Edmunds, of Edmonds Path fame. He designed trails for walking not leaping, lunging, balancing or bopping. I've read he enlisted the help of European stone masons to craft pathways in rocky areas to make the locomotion enjoyable rather than grueling. My...

Me too. Reminiscent of Airline up Adams

FT8 is an amazing mode. You are working signals that are 30 db below the noise floor. But the exchanges are quite structured and don’t seem to foster any chit chat. Plus the computer does all the work leaving the op as a spectator. Very different type of hamming.

Accident and rescue on Mt Mad via Great Gulf…

Ouch!! Now that’s a bushwhack! You would have had an easier time bushwhacking one of the Hundred highest. They all have herd paths and Alltrails GPS tracks! Good decision to bail on this one.

Last time I was on Mt Martha I met a guy putting it on the air. He had a dipole strung across the summit. Fun! Good luck and ride that sunspot cycle as long as you can Salty. KA1D

Guy is lucky he wasn’t in Baxter. They’d have arrested him!

How were the Hostel of Maine accommodations? Like Hiker's Paradise or the Highland Center?

Thanks much for this info.

Back office systems switch over to new owner's IT infrastructure.

Has anyone seen an obit for our friend Peakbagger? I've been following the Berlin Daily Sun but nothing so far. I'd like to know what happened to my old friend, his cause of death, etc. It's not morbid curiosity. I'd like some closure to our 25-year friendship. Thanks.

Lets all make an effort to attend Audrey's event this year. We owe it to each other! And who know how many each of us have left...

What's unfortunate for today's whackers is the dumbing down of the 100 achievement. I'm no genius but I had to put some time and effort into route research, learning nav and acquiring field skills. They miss all that fun stuff and that to me was the best part of the 100 exercise. In the end...

I've been following the 100 Highest FB page lately just for fun. Wow, a lot has changed since I completed the 100 in 2002. No more maps and compass for bushwhacks. Apparently there are public AllTrails tracks for all the whacks. NO FUN!! As folks complete the 100 these days they thank the...
