She was part of a group, her cousin and uncle, back at a time where it took you most of a day to get there from their home in Southern Maine. https://www.cowhampshireblog.com/2008/01/15/death-on-mt-washington-the-tale-of-lizzie-bourne/ They started in September at 2:00 and made it halfway by...

However, we're a closed community, do we have an idea of how many non-members even stop by and view? text in their signatures, while bragging, pales in comparison today of selfies filling the entire screen. I never looked at some numbers and thought "wow, I could get 67 of 67 of something but...

I think it's more the age of Emily than Gender and whether she was pretty or not. The fact mom drove her to her date with destiny is even more heartbreaking as a parent of two kids roughly her age. To me this feels more like Derek Tinkham's death. Derek went with his friend who did all the...

I tried to set-up a new FB account using an ancient lap-top and saw that lurker accounts I set up when there was even less security than now are preventing me at the moment from getting set up in that social cesspool. I can view some of the FB 4K page and in general, the FB format is much more...

Kate was older and more accomplished and the weather that day was quite a bit worse. As some mentioned, people did hike above treeline last weekend. While both were in over their heads, Emily didn't know better while Kate thought she did based on a couple of 7-Summit trips with guides. Before...

Timber is probably better than homes. In theory, the timber can be renewable when replanted. While economics may be similar in far northern New England, the scale isn't. When driving through "The County" on the way to Allagash and then riding the shuttle to Churchill Dam, the size of the...

The rush to finish reminds me of a man back I believe in the 90's that was finishing the NE 100 and in bad weather pushed to do Fort in BSP and didn't make it back. (It may have been before an age or his last chance that year before the park closed, I forget. I knew about it when I did Fort and...

What can we do different to try and prevent the next young or older individual from this happening again?

Liberty was my first winter 4K, then did Flume and Liberty from Lincoln Woods We've had past VFTT'ers in Walker Ravine which might be described as beneath the Hut. As a parent with two kids near her age, no parent comprehends this happening to their child.

I believe the story is getting regional or larger coverage as my wife knows about the story and doesn't read anything but the CT paper and what she gets on her online feed and FB and she's not part of any hiking groups. It's just heartbreaking. Is there too much hype in FB Groups, Instagram...

After falling Tuesday because of leaves covering the trail with likely a bruise below my knee, the scrape only had minor bleeding and the other points of contact were either did not bleed or are no longer sore, If I had been carrying a litter, I'd have been very grateful for the leaf blower...

I remember the lexicomm days and I organized a couple of hikes with members. The first trip I did with Chomp was 1/30/99. I doubt either of us would have volunteered to do a winter hike with a stranger after just a few weeks online so at least as far back as 1999 prior to his Thru-Hike...

A plan, are you sure? :rolleyes: As an employee from the 90's a plan would be nice finally. I wonder if a Digital Media Group may look at a plan of being online only? (Lower cost, likely)

Looks like from the pictures that all those people were a week late. They should have stopped at Gunstock and the peaks around the lake. Water and leaves are a better picture than a few remaining leaves and a highway. Maybe the State of NH can build a new mountain in Bethlehem instead of...

That is ugly, In the east we also have the Mohonk Mountain House which isn't cheap either. While Elk Lake isn't cheap in the ADK, it blends in better and is lakeside.

I would expect people who hate any structures down in the valley when hiking will stay on summits covered with trees or move to WY, MT and Ak where it's expected that there are few people. Few places in the NE would be considered as wilderness and be more than a day away from a paved road...

Seeing the towns in the valley is a silly comparable. (That is almost every summit with a bare top in the East, although if we buy in on your thought, we'd drive more visits to Owl's Head, East Sleeper and every other treed summit. I can see Boston from Monadnock and Wachuset, Springfield from...

There may be collective wisdom, however, if there are 400 members here, the 400 would come up with 398 answers. Are you looking at marketing your site, towards people looking for commercial trekking companies or people looking for a commercial guide for a trek? Without spending very much time...

In thinking of the Washington Summit and the view from 302 or other roads, I didn't give much thought of future development. However, the view from Madison and Adams across the Great Gulf is one of my favoritesas well as the view from Mt. Hight. These views would likely be very different.

Thank you Tim, was thinking of you the other day with the flood warnings last weekend.
