    The Roost - Evans Notch - June 19, 2021

    Great video, what was elapsed time? Thinking of doing this on my way to the Whites, once I can cross the border.

    N.E. Clean Power Connect in Maine - Should we care ?

    I always liked this proposal https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/emera-atlantic-link-massachusetts-energy-northern-pass-transmission-1.4504425. No muss, no fuss. Directly from source to Massachussets, no Maine woods, no White Mountains, etc.

    Grand Canyon ... Rim to River to Rim

    An acquaintance hiked and camped in the canyon several years ago, and has convinced me to join a small group for a repeat (probably September 2022). Your pictures have inspired me, so am so looking forward to it.

    AMC Huts open this Summer

    I'm still struggling with this. Won't be crossing the border until my 2nd shot, but will probably stay at Dolly Copp and do day hikes for this summer, at least. If things are back to "normal" by fall, Joe Dodge might be an option.

    No More Parking at Lowes Store

    My first ever Northern Presi hike involved parking at Lowes. I remember the matriarch of the clan was collecting the fee. End of an era.

    Gravity Fed Water Filter Systems

    I've seen a Sawyer Squeeze in use. Produced 8 litres of water (for 8 people) in about 20 minutes (including lugging the water from the pond). I lugged, owners of the Squeeze produced.

    Moosehead Ski Area Proposal

    When I was much younger, our Parks and Rec Director (originally from somewhere in New England) would organize a ski trip to Greenville from our town in Nova Scotia. We used the passenger rail service that was mentioned earlier in this thread.

    Trail Runners Rescued from Mt Lafayette

    I remember that weekend. Was there Friday and Saturday, never got above treeline. Woke up Sunday morning to a forecast of minus 65 F windchill at the summit, so went home. Didn't hear about Kate until a day or two later.

    Tuckerman's Accident - Two Hikers fall/slide 500 plus over the lip

    IMHO, going up is often easier than going down. Not making excuses for them, just sayin'. My avatar is a pic of my first experience with Microspikes (on the Lion Head summer trail, in November, many years ago). Going down was definitely harder.

    Alpine Skiing Under Travel Restrictions - How?

    Thanks for the thought. Not really interested in going south. It's my lack of Northeastern winter hiking and skiing that's giving me withdrawal symptoms.:( Can't even go to the Chic Chocs right now, without quarantining for 2 weeks on my return to Nova Scotia.

    Alpine Skiing Under Travel Restrictions - How?

    Maine exempts visitors from NH and VT. https://www.maine.gov/covid19/restartingmaine/keepmainehealthy/faqs Exemptions for 4 other states has ended. Doesn't do me any good, though. :(
