It was very hazy in Manch Vegas all day as well. Tim

I meant in a more general sense. Like, routes people are actually recording/traveling via GPS (GAIA, Strava, Waze, ...) And note I said can. Not does or always... Tim

On the other hand, crowdsourcing can lead to very accurate and timely trail/route information. Tim

Run by Kristina Folcick, aka DangerGirl, although she has not been here in a long time. Tim

I liked the ending ... "You're not getting in here, you *******s!" ;) Tim

:D :D :D (I had my "run in" with one on Franconia Ridge once...) Tim

Where can you buy over zealous volunteers?!? ;) Tim

I want to say Eric. He may not have been the first. It is usually good for a chuckle from the audience as they all recognize themselves. Tim

And this, Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, is why the NH 48 is lovingly referred to (during the 4000-Footer Awards) as the "Gateway Drug". Tim

I'll bite. I am for sure a data junky, and a type A. I can be competitive, and while hiking is not a competitive sport, I do like repeating routes and seeing how my times compare to other efforts. I have the usual spreadsheets but being a software engineer I also have all the hiking data in a...

May was easier than an average year w.r.t. stream crossings, for sure. I think https://dashboard.waterdata.usgs.gov/app/nwd/?region=lower48&aoi=default tells a pretty good story. I live just below the top of the green (near Manchester, NH) and my lawn is doing OK without supplemental...

https://www.granitestatedogrecovery.com/ was definitely involved, and might be a better place to push donations towards. Tim

It was closed yesterday per a report I saw on Facebook (from LeftyE) - the DOT had some low-hanging branches to remove and was anticipating opening it end of the week. LeftyE: DOT still has to remove some dangerous overhanging trees..drove by yesterday on Base Road and still gated...

Tim + lightweight gear = immediate gear failure. Each. And. Every. Time. My entire life. Tim

Osprey Kestrel 38 weighs 3.4 (M/L) pounds and retails for $160. Hyperlite 40L weighs 1.88 (L) pounds and restails starting at $320... I.e., "Less is more ;)" Also the Kestrel 48, which I discussed in this forum early winter weighs 3.59 pounds (M/L) and was a great pack... I did finally come...

I used to race bicycles. I used to listen to others debate the value of shaving grams off their wheels, while they themselves had pounds to shave. Or, I also use to listen to a teammate "whine" when he rode his heavier training bike (when roads were wet, say) and yet he would still win races...

All those logs have a flat side which suggested to me that they might turn into bog bridges. While it may have been dry recently, it was quite wet on 4/10 and again on 5/19. Note I don't recall that the stretch around Franklin was wet, per se, but I do know that Monroe -> Eisenhower was...

I got one tick once in 16 years in the Whites - in / near the Bowman parking lot amongst the grasses and wildflowers. Can't say Gryffin has gotten (m)any in his 7+ years either. Tim

For an Apple/iPhone XR/iOS 14 and GAIA, using airplane mode only (no changes to compass or altitude), I can easily record the presi traverse and pemi loops and still have 40%+ battery left, which includes occasionally leaving airplane mode, and taking pictures. Obviously, not directly...
