One of the things you can do in BSP, Yosemite and other National Parks (Could do at Grand Canyon, GSMNP would be hard though) is restrict access to the park. Few or no people live in it. Access in to several parks are on a few roads only. You can't close every trailhead along 302, and 16, and...

I'm sure more details will come out in time. The hike has been in "Walking" Magazine. (Likely for a summer walk) Some I think believe that since Franconia Ridge is not Washington or on the same massif as Washington. so the weather will not be as bad, even though there is nothing above 4400 ft...

The State of NY and the hiker put out a youtube video on this. The soles on the boots are worn almost flat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfAiq7qi1M8

Seven Dwarfs is still $10 on the windshield, I asked over on the FB Group and somebody there checked.

Does Wildcat have a downhill hiking policy? If I go up 19 Mile to Carter Notch and then up Wildcat over A, B, C & then D, can I walk downhill without a pass? I'm not planning on doing it again anytime soon. If I get to Wildcat D around 3:30, they will be near the last runs of the day.

I guess if you hike with your dog in NH, we worried if he wanders out of sight. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/rare-parasite-infects-two-hunters-213018101.html

It does look like a lot of rain and then cold or maybe downhill ice skating. Water crossings may be difficult on Saturday if it is mostly rain this time. On another note, I brought up in the 4K FB group some of the old winter starting points as I saw someone was thinking Wildcat Ridge was the...

More on the way this week also, right after the start of the actual winter season.

We've strayed quite a bit from Eggy's fall.

So you can track those who buy but not how many use it 0 x a year or 100 x a year.

Since you don't track hikers and climbers you can't come up with a percentage of accidents to users or fatalities to users. You'd have to pull ski-resorts financial data apart to see if they list ticket sales. Does NH require a license for snowmobiles? Is F&G reports archived? Deaths on the...

When I was much more active hiking in the Whites in the winter, I would kept track of all the fatalities, downhill skiing, snowmobiling, climbing and hiking. I'm not sure the 4K group is that much into history. The years would seem to rotate on who had more fatalities, some years it would be...

This weeks storm that may bring a decent snowfall total Thursday and Friday. Saturday Morning's trails should be unbroken until many with snowshoes pack them out, the next 18 days may not be fatality free.

I would agree, however, I don't know the person at all or seen anything else they've done or posted.

His employer has identified the hiker as he and his wife both worked at the Cog. It is on the Cog's FB page.

Great info. Oddly, in MFOTH, The axe is supposed to be used before crampons. How often do we bring both Micro's and 12- point crampons? If you just bring the Mciro's you should be ready to bail if you get ice that would overwhelm your footwear. (Yet we know some will prevail missing, or...

LOL, growing older (never grew up) we had a book called "The Dictionary for the Disenchanted". This certainly pre-dated social media beyond personal ads in free newspapers. It's actually on Amazon, from 1972. https://www.amazon.com/Dictionary-disenchanted-Bernard-Rosenberg/dp/B0006C4KBC I...

So using an email account I barely use and another computer in the house and I managed to become a product of Zuckerberg. If it's that easy to get by their "security", it's no wonder that the word of the year is Catfishing. Pending approval over at the NH 4K group.

Thankfully, because God loves idiots, (I've been the idiot on several occasions too.) he is still alive. The late start, poor gear (micros on Algonquin is a stretch even IMO) a friend who turned around, apparently no map as the Loj is the best exit. Unsure what their experience was, only 19 so...

RIP, somewhere I have I believe Steve V.'s book which describes the Everest Trip. Somehow I missed that he was a New Englander before he went around the world.
