It's just my opinion and you are certainly entitled to yours. I'm not really interested in arguing about for days on end. Frankly it's not an issue for me, I go up there when it's off season to climb AB and Bald mt and basically have the place to myself.

Paid parking there would alleviate the budget shortfall 🤣

Quite a view up on that high horse, isn't there?

I suppose we see what we want to see. Last November I had to go to Mississippi by way of Memphis for a soccer game, and found everyone to be the most incredibly friendly people we've ever come across. We came away saying "Southern Hospitality is a real thing". I can't recall a single instance...

https://www.foxnews.com/us/co-workers-leave-colorado-man-behind-mountain-summit-during-office-retreat That's going to be an interesting team meeting next week.......

Yikes! And, at this point, THAT bear's offspring are now roaming about as well with a love of granola bars and pancake mix....

That started long ago. We had our camp raided while camping near the Cedar Brook Junction. Two other camps in the area were raided as well. When we mentioned it to the rangers at Lincoln Woods, they replied "Sounds like Brutus...I think it's time to put him down". This was 20+ years ago.

Oh my that is incredibly sad. I have family in the area and we knew many people in common. Really sorry to hear this

I think when we are now celebrating carrying a bunny up a trail (and, yes, they are carried for some/much of the way) list-chasing has officially jumped the shark. Felt that way for a long, long time but this takes the cake.

Good lord...

Was with my daughter recently, who has never been much of a hiker. I laughed at the amount of times she followed a water bar into the woods before I gave her a head's up. I explained why they are there, etc. and even admitted I followed one that went into several yards and got myself lost...

"My three-year old kid and my unleashed dog droned the winter 4Ks in just over a week. At least we didn't posthole".

Yikes! I was at that show!! The old Foxboro stadium I was in the last row and likely as high as the stage...I recall it being HUGE.

Quite a few, I bet. I also wonder how many who summit Washington are chasing lists. Some, of course, but I would bet a vast majority are just "doing Washington"; like Franconia Ridge or Monadnock, etc. In my story above, we didn't count it and returned a year later....and several more times...

Long ago, we summitted and my younger brother (6 yrs old) wasn't doing well. It was getting a bit late so my mother essentially begged them to take a couple down on the Cog. For $20/ea about 5-6 hopped on and had a miserable ride down. The rest met us at the bottom. This was I think...

I'll just "carbon offset".....

I'm the parent of a competitive athlete in college currently and I've seen that type of attitude often over the years. Kids who were pushed really young more often than not faded out earlier. At some point kids need to do what they want to do and no amount of pushing can make that happen. The...

Unpopular opinion, but I'm never in fan of any "youngest" or "oldest" records. The eventually of all of them is they will end up in a tragedy. I started hiking young, doing my first peaks only a little older than her when she completed. It's an incredible accomplishment for her, not trying to...

Wonder why they didn't start from St. Anthony as the most extreme northern point?
