I used to have a norther flicker that would bang on the metal chimney cap on my house for about a 2 week period every spring. It would drive me insane. It was very loud in the house. I would chase it away and it would come right back within minutes. You could not sleep past sunrise. I never...

Couple of things up front: 1) The call for entries and entry form pdf's are available online, but I haven't built a snazzy webpage yet. The forms are at: http://www.vftt.org/film_festival/ 2) I haven't set up the [email protected] email address yet, so for now contact me via Pm if you have to...

It's not Maine...but our water down here on the south coast of Mass is 15 degrees warmer so that is a plus... Local guides Sam(antha) and Carl offer sea kayaking lessons and are good teachers. They are at Osprey Sea Kaying: http://www.ospreyseakayak.com/ You are welcome to crash at my house...

What is the water temp up to now? About 33 or 34? - d

psmart - is my understanding wrong that you can not blaze / mark trails and can not have trail signs etc? Again, I am all for protecting land, but that land was already protected and was already NF land and designated potential wilderness. I want the land protected but I don't like all of the...

Is that a hat on the right? Home made too? - darren

IMO it is kind of a double edged sword. protect the land = good, but wilderness rules can = bad. It will ban mountain biking in a lot of great areas. It also prevents trail maintenance and backcountry shelters etc. Again, preservation good, rules bad. - darren

I'll see about patches....but lets gets this thread back on topic and lets see some pictures of your VFTT stickers and where you put them. Aloha - darren

I started a thread asking who wants stickers that didn't already get them: http://www.vftt.org/forums/showthread.php?t=28305 Sorry to say it, but 5 people do not justify me placing another $250 order. I might do another round of patches though. - darren

I am down for a VFTT 360 list and also a "Darren's Special VFTT List". My special list is for the Northeast only, so no Hawaii peaks. Although that is an interesting idea. My wording on the hiking part culd have been better. What I meant was the activity of hiking is not enough to complete...

I'm guessing you sent your order to teejay after we announced that teejay was out of patches. I sent 40 patches to teejay to cover the orders he has like yours. So you should have them in a week. --- No on else should send orders to teejay for stickers --- --- if you want stickers and...

Just to add some drama to the discussion... There is a VFTT patch and associated list in the works. Has been for a while (discussions started by a campfire many years ago). The list is still under development and the exact requirements will not be made public until I complete the...

Bump. Just a reminder about tuesday nites at Carabiners rock gym. We've been having a good crew going every tuesday nite. Hopefully some more members can make it there. Aloha, - darren

Submittals will be due by sometime in September. If I can get some free time I am going to write everything up into a flyer type format. Another idea.... Depending on number of entries etc....formal judging might be replaced or combined with a people's choice award that would be voted on and...

Wish you had waited a couple extra days for a reply. I got a Garmin 60csx and I am pretty disappointed with it - especially for kayaking. The unit works well, but the maps - well, they just suck plain and simple. I posted some long rants about it in prior threads - you can search for them...

Carmel and I are planning on being in the Canadian Rockies pretty much August 1 - August 16. What dates in that window are best for the official Gathering? 3 days, maybe 4. Alos, what is the official tally on who is most likely going? We need to decide on a location and nail down some...

Last night was 2 for 1 nite at Carabiners rock gym in New Bedford. We had a nice group there - site members trainwreck, koppmw (mike), Carmel, and myself and also another Mike and Marcy. 6 people in for the price of 3. nice. :) Mike and Carmel continued to kick butt, while my climbing is...

No, I am not saying that the fee money does not go into anything else, but it is very telling that the fee is going up and so is the level of frontcountry services - toilets and kiosks. I haven't seen any increase in backcountry services. The fact that the frontcountry services are required...
