Sure they could airlift heavy equipment up to the ridge but I don't think anyone but heavy construction companies would like that. (I'm trying to figure out what they are doing with a Power shovel in the Green Hills off of Thompson Rd.) Not sure about Elon, I will agree with old timer, Charlie...

Until you can get rid of all Gov't pork, I'm not that upset about having a pet project in our area. The OBP and Greenleaf will continue to go by the hut. Falling waters will continue to go by the waterfalls and likely by Shining Rock, with a few more switchbacks. As I understand it, at least...

When are you going? I have found that Cheshire Harbor and the Old Adams Road can get a bit muddy in early April. It's still my preferred way up, if I was hiking at that time of year, I'd probably just do another hike. From SE CT, going Bear and Round or Race & Everett would be the same...

I'm thinking 18 rail cars will hold more people than 20 tent platforms and where it is located, I'm not sure a privy would stand in the weather at that spot. Your point is well taken though. Will they be removing everything in the fall? Thinking the anchor spots will remain and I would think...

I'm a Cheshire Harbor fan, never steep along the way, the road walk once you reach is provides very good views from a couple of scenic viewpoints. It there is enough snow, the snowmobiles will use the road. Last there in December2021

The FKT time stops at the top, so records don't require living past recording it if someone else is your biographer? I'll the author is taking some liberties with the Terminus moving. At inception, you took what you could get. Since the trail's inception, they have worked on making it longer...

I'll be first, which ever brand fit's your feet. If the Lowa's fit well, I'd suggest looking at another Lowa, often times they use the same last. (This is why certain brands fit your feet and others don't) I'm looking forward to wearing a pair of wide boots this spring for the first time...

Eighteen cars sound like more than what was in the picture. I love the BG comments, lots of accommodations up there already. There's one, not counting Madison and the RMC facilities on Adams and the one has too many bunks hence Lake of the Crowds nickname. (I won't stay there again; I'd stay...

Wishing Lei the best, sorry to hear about her partner.

Isn't this more of a "new" adage.....

I thought that was HoJo's and Lunch Rocks? Now, here and NETC are about as high tech as I get, but I think his Instagram page has been taken down. Correction: The post taken down and his Instagram feed is private. He does list the seven summits and he has one down. Time to take the AMC...

The NY Daily News Comments were not as bad. I think he mentioned Kilimanjaro and if he made the trip out there, he's probably a highpointer. As someone mentioned, Flagstaff has winter. I'm guessing he's made the trip to Kilimanjaro and with a guided trip, guides make all the decisions. The...

From the NY Daily News and with his Instagram blurbs included: https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/brooklyn-man-hiking-in-arizona-rescued-twice-in-two-days/ar-AAUOiRN?ocid=msedgntp Thinking of a Marvel super-hero and no, not Captain America because he's from Brookyln also. Likes to...

I'll guess he is a Highpointer which is why he went back twice to the same peak. The snowbowl is at 9K as Egilbe mentioned. I was looking at doing it in 2016 when we were in Sedona for a week in the summer but opted early morning and evening Sedona hikes and a family friendly hike on the Lenox...

And designated drivers to assist on the way down. Is HWI covered on the hike safe card? I'm asking for a friend....:D

Staff at the Cog have helped from time to time with SAR also. Is having another set of shelters up there a good thing in bad weather? They had a structure in Edmand Col years ago, meant for emergency only. People were planning with that being a destination. Will people break into the...

I agree, lots of horse-trading. The Cog gets a place near existing structures and where the ROW is wide enough for the expansion. Better their money than mine. So the trains moving up the mountains will stop there and then transfer to a shuttle that will run from there to the top. On bad days...

I forgot it. Kill a Terminator and you too are ready for K2. A whole 29 on the Tomatometer Correction: He assisted in killing a terminator before he died, Sarah Connor finished the job.

What I've never seemed to understand is why we also don't build some smaller ones right along the highway corridor, in the case of wind, right in places with wide medians. All the infrastructure is there and it's not pristine either. (Want to keep them off roads not marked as scenic fine)...

Well, in "Touching The Void", the rope was cut. The movie that was eventually made was actually pretty good. I remember watching with my kids, when Joe's injury occurs and he's yelling Fock, Fock, Fock, with the heavy cockney accident. It actually took a moment to realize Fock wasn't what he...
