It seems that the simple solution is to place a placard on your dashboard that states: "In accordance with TITLE VIII--FEDERAL LANDS RECREATION ENHANCEMENT ACT (From the 2005 Consolidated Appropriations Act (PL 108-447), Section III, this area does not contain all of the following amenities...

Unfortunately, I think a venue Hawaii is out. Probably going to have to be in central New England location. Hopefully we can find someone with a big barn or similar structure. Sale / availability of the films will be up to the creators. I'm sure some shorts will be available on youtube and...

Pursue away! So far we have about 20 people intersted in submitting about 30 films and we have about 50 people interested in coming to the showing. So I am guessing we could get anywhere from 15 - 50 films and anywhere from 20 - 100 people showing up to watch them. How is that for being...

See my whole post - heated bathrooms, over the top ranger activity at owls head are two particular issues that really frost my butt. This is exactly what I am talking about. The "services" are required in order to collect the fee. The fee is required in order to pay for the services. It is...

You mean tourist ammenities. Heated bathrooms??? Waste of money. Now they want to increase the fees by 50%...what is next, a bidet and heated towel rack? Maybe a smoking lounge? On a good note, maybe there will be overtime money available for Ranger Dick to do daily patrols of Owls head...

Carmel and I will be there. She wanted me to take her to some B&B in Maine that weekend but I put my foot down and said that we are going to Palletfest 2009 in VT. Booze, guns, fire. 'nuff said. :) - darren

NIce TR and pix. Glad you had an awesome time. I like the photos of the vending machines. I have some very similar shots from when I was there. You have to like the hot / cold vending machines, huh? :) - darren

I totally missed this the first time around. Nice stuff, thanks for posting. I'd really like to make a kayak some day. I'm almost done with the construction of my woodshop so I am one step closer... Aloha - darren

Nice TR and story behind your efforts to get "the shot". Stories like this explain why it takes more than a nice camera to make nice photos...and why you have more than your share of nice photos. Aloha - darren

Yes, that's right, New Bedford, MA, home of Moby Dick is also home to a rock gym. Well, it is actually home to one of the biggest rock gyms in the country - Carabiner's. 32,600 sq ft of climbing 65' high main walls overhanging roofs, cracks, and some very cool stalactites 112 top rope...

Last month I proposed the VFTT Film Festival in this thread: http://www.vftt.org/forums/showthread.php?t=27629&highlight=film+festival I then posted a poll to see how many people are interested in submitting films and what types of films they would submit. So far almsot 20 people said they...

sardog1 - that was an interesting article. From the study of Mass coyotes: "They are not Western coyotes nor Eastern wolves. They are a hybrid (of the two) and probably should be classified as a new species." Very interesting. The part about the western coyote migrating through wolf...

No, nothing wrong with being an animal lover. I was just making an observation that animal lovers fought to get the traps banned and since animal lovers tend to own cats and dogs that those same people are some of the people who are losing their cats and dogs to coyotes. I just find the whole...

BTW, Chip, if that healthy coyote routinely gets within 30' of you while you are on a lawn mower then it might be time to trade in your 35mm device for a 30 caliber device... :eek: One has to admit that it is ironic that the animal lovers that voted to ban coyote traps are now losing their cats...

Since coyote traps were banned in Massachusetts several years ago, the coyote population has gone through the roof. Coyotes in SE NE are now eating their share of cats and small dogs - no two ways about it. I know a guy who lives in an area that has lost every cat and small dog in the...

I would never bring a non hiking item when hiking... Well, ok, maybe sometimes. I'd have to say the best non-hiking item I've ever brought was a 3 man sling shot (we call it a gazorge, but I don't know if that is the proper technical term). It is made of surgical tubing and two people hold...

Lift served skiing is, in my mind, "frontcountry" and not a backcountry activity so I certainly do not want to see trip reports on a weekend at Loon on VFTT. BUT, a nice trip report about a once in a seson trip out West is welcome on VFTT. Also, as has been stated many times, activities such...

I remember scrambling on rocks, but I do not remember there being a ladder on Burnt Rock itself. Not familiar with the other place names. - darren

Yah, as usual I was too busy stuffing my face and didn't have the camera ready.... :o - darren
