Thanks Stan! I appreciate the info. I didn't expect much since Gila isn't visited all that much (part of the reason I am going). I will have all the gear for cold nights, but I think I will be staying low enough to be close to water. I plan on flying in, hangin that night at a hotel, driving to...

Hello. I just booked a trip for 9 days in Gila National Forest in New Mexico. I am planning on a few nights of car camping and 3-4 nights of backpacking. I am in decent shape. Have lots of gear. I am flying into Albuquerque on the 29th of March. I would love some ideas, preferably loops. Any...

Cape Breton I rode my bike around Cape Breton this past summer. There are signs all over warning about coyotes. I found it to be a bit silly, actually, but understandable all the same due to the girl being killed. I heard them in the Highlands, but never saw any.

Oh boy. Let's stay on track, please. Didn't mean for this to turn into an anti-gun discussion. Maybe we can stay away from the propaganda?

This link posted by a "Friend of The Cohos Trail" on the Trail's Facebook page. I didn't know the man, but I have heard many good things about him. Sad and darn scary. http://bostonglobe.com/metro/2012/01/09/couple-from-new-hampshire-shot-dead-arizona/jKrnr5doO6cuUx7eOa306I/story.html

Me I'm gonna win.

Takes the finish off of instruments I once used it while playing a wedding in western ma. As I played, I would look down and watch the mosquitos land and go to town. Nothing like trying to get through some bluegrass while being devoured. I applied some Ben's and the next day the finish was...

Change the material? Could easily, with tin snips, make one out of aluminum flashing or something. Sand the edges to keep them dull... Maybe even change the shape to a triangle to save weight and space...round the corners for safety, or edge them with heat accepting duct tape. Great idea...

oh man! I used to hike alone, but then I got an imaginary friend to come along. Conversation sucks, but at least I am being safe.

Staying at Gifford Woods campground. Would like to know about quite beautiful hikes in this area. Would love lots of views and preferably a loop of 8 -10 miles. Less popular is better! Thank you

Ok, I am going to try again to make it. No gigs, and it is on my calendar!

Cold Springs Campground? Has anyone heard of it? I can't get a number to call or any other helpful info.

I am going on an extended hiking and biking trip starting tomorrow and I need a nice, quiet campground somewhere very close to Bangor, ME. It can be slightly south or north of Bangor, but not too far. I will be staying tomorrow (Friday) night. I really want it to be quiet so I can get my sleep...

Dog There was another dog on the OTHER side of Kinsman that would follow me up from 116. Same dog? Would leave from just sound of the B&B...don't have my map with me, but was just south of Coppermine Tr.

Another idea. I say, when that mean ol' bear comes up, just pull out that six string and sing a John Denver tune. Works every time.

Uh Oh. I didn't mean to stir the pot. I hope it is clear that I was not referencing the "hiker's" intelligence at all. I just think the trails are poorly named and marked and make it much more confusing for...well...anyone.

Interrogation I have been grilled in the winter also. I went in to pay, and one ranger started in on me, "Do you realize that it is 3pm?" Stuff like that. I told him all was ok. Another ranger turned around and looked me up and down, "Don't worry about him, you can see he knows what he is...

Confusing Mountain I'm not too into responding to lost hiker threads, but Monadnock has got to be one of the most confusing mountains to navigate. I am not sure who named the trails, but using the "white____" concept for several of the trail names was downright idiotic. And the blazes are...

Man, that is tempting I might be game... How does weather play into the weekend? Rain or shine? Also, I am a pretty skilled carpenter, if that would be of any use.

Sorry about the late posting. I kept putting off posting about the gig. Sorry about that. It was a good time, lots of dancing and drinkin'. Not a very good day to hike, though. Rain and misty conditions gave way to full on rain for Sunday's gig. If you are interested in coming out to some of...
