I have hiked the majority of Dolly Sods and Roaring Plains and it is absolutely fantastic.

Fantastic! Thank you. I think I will try the dueter.

I am considering this...

This kind of thing appeals to me, but more packs to decide from would be better! Mammut Trion Nordwand 28

Hello. I have been using the same Osprey backpack for 20-25 years. I bought it at Hilton's Tent City when they were just becoming available in stores. I believe it is +/- 30L. It has a large pouch on the outside face that can open up to accommodate a pair of snowshoes. It has a large zipper...

Great info. Much appreciated! I am very much interested in avoiding the crowds.

Hello. In a few weeks I hope to get out for a couple of nights in Massachusetts. Being winter and with COVID in mind, I am hoping to get some ideas as to where I could camp and enjoy some basecamp hiking. A platform is nice for sure, but it could be a pad. No shelters please. Look forward to...

Eastman has an awesome view. Love that mountain.

Update Thanks for the license plate report.

True Yes. True. I now see that.

I also disagree that nash stream road is "super smooth." That can depend on time of year.

Tires I was driving in Nash Stream Road this summer to do trail work for the Cohos Trail, and I rescued Kim Nilsen after he had blown a tire. It was a weekend and we had to work several days to get it fixed. It was a rental and the tire was worn. We were told that, along with the sharp rocks...

Nash I believe they usually close it after a significant snowfall, or sometime in December. Bring a tire repair kit. That road can do numbers on your tires. Also, give yourself a bit of extra time to explore the area. There are some beautiful areas along the stream. It is a long and boring...

Mass Really, how are the plates relevant?

Wow. There is a backpacking trip on that map.

I will do my best to let you guys know how it goes. Sounds lovely.

No lists for me. Unless it is the list of places that no one goes to. That one I have been working on for decades. I have maybe 3 of the 4K left, and other than west bond, I am not concerned about finishing it. I love solitude and silence. I also love a view that has no human development in...

I have a full size truck, so that will work in my favor. Funny, the White Mnt guide states that Mt Wolf has a summit ledge that has "excellent" views to the east and northeast. Maybe that has grown in? Years ago I was able to visit Gordon Pond from the south. Was a nice place for sure. Thanks...

Hi. In order to avoid the crowds without driving to the north country, I was interested in hiking Reel Bk Trail to the tent sites and hitting wolf and south kinsman while base camping. Does anyone have any thoughts on this idea? Crowded? Worth it? How about those two peaks? Never been on them...

Yup. I have hiked a large amount of the trails in that area, and years ago, Ferncroft was barely used. Even on weekends. I am glad I was able to enjoy it then.
