Thanks, Tom :) 2006-09-09 Tim

Dear VFTT.org Members, It is time for me to move on, and thus I am in the process of transferring ownership, maintenance, and administration to a third party. It has been my pleasure to serve as the administrator for VFTT for these past 10 years, and I will stick around to help with the...

I have to repeat this almost every time the subject comes up. Remember that... Negligence when hiking is covered for costs incurred if a rescue is needed providing the rescued party has a hikesafe or other F&G card (license, boat registration, etc.) - there is no fine. Recklessness when...

I have taken Gryffin (a golden retriever) on bushwhacks and he has exactly retraced our steps out using only his nose. Even if we find a herd path that might a better exit, he still insists on retracing. I find it comical that he can dig a buried cheez-it out from 6" of snow in winter. The...

I suspect the fundamental differences stem from National Forest (Department of Agriculture) and National Park (Department of Interior) designations and their corresponding management policies. Tim

Unless it's Tuesday and dark. Tim

Via Black Pond, up the slide, down the skidder at 16.8 miles. Via Franconia Brook Trail and the slide both ways at 18.8 miles. The documented Black Pond route says that it saves about a mile each way, which is what the above shows. Tim

He's great, thanks. He turned 9 in February. Not as spry as 4 or 5 years ago but still getting around just fine. Tim

It's this obvious, with clipped saplings, from end to end. Really? From where and against what RSA? It's not state property. Could it be the WMNF issuing tickets for licensed guides using it? I've heard that might be a thing before. Or exceeding the wilderness maximum group size? Tim

I have been using these for years and they make a big difference. Drivers give me a lot more space and time with them than they did without. The daytime random flash is key, IMO, because it sticks out so much more than steady or regular interval flash. My recollection of that stretch of 116...

Osceola (both), Passaconaway, Tom, North Tripyramid, Wildcat A, Galehead, Cabot, Willey, North Twin, South Carter all come to mind :) (all have summits that are "slightly" off the trail.) Tim

To be fair, there are 49 other states plus various US territories, any of which can supply people of differing viewpoints. Tim

So are people from other political persuasions who come here and vote to spend money on things others don't want or need. Or to change the historical red to purple (if not blue.) Just sayin' (if we're gonna go down that political rabbit hole) Tim

Well, below 0 you have to hike backwards ;) Note that I said "one should start to question one's plans and abilities"... It's just a guide. It's worked pretty well for me, and very well for Gryffin. Everyone has their +/- (wind + 10 > temp) just like they have their book time multiplier...

My rule of thumb is "any time the wind speed is greater than the temperature one should start to question one's plans and abilities". Tim
