I agree. Terrible job parking, Peakbagger. 🙂

Why? Because of THE GRID!

Really? In that case, I think that a lot of us would contribute whatever it takes to get rid of the ads.

Yes, you are right, I was confusing endangered species. In the end, the snail darter did not stop the Tellico Dam as the SCOTUS gave the dam the green light. But then the snail darter was found recovering elsewhere from earlier transplant efforts, and the snail darter was downgraded from...

I think that the little, unassuming, endangered snail darter killed the Dickey-Lincoln project. 🙂

The two of them always put a smile on my face as I hiked up while they were hiking down. 🙂

See post no. 5

The reason that QH should not be considered ”green.”

Yeah, I got the same solicitation recently to upgrade my membership. I do not think that the new ownership should need additional funds given the bundle that they must be raking in from ads. If this ownership is anything like that for the college hockey board in which I participate (my only...

I was just sorting through a huge cardboard box of old camping stuff that I have not used in decades, and lo and behold I found a dozen Gerry and REI (copycats) food tubes. The plastic in about half the tubes was badly decayed, but the other half appear to be fine. But, I agree with Skiguy, they...

Oops, my fault, I did not realize that I was replying in the New York Backcountry section. Looks like you now have some great suggestions closer to home. Welcome to VftT!

Ethan Pond lean-to is 2.5 miles in from Rte 302 in Crawford Notch, with a 2.5-mile hike to Thoreau Falls. Bring your snowshoes!

Over 19 years later, and I still have not been there, although have flown over several more times on way to/from Baffin Island, which is much easier to access than the Torngats.

To provide some background for ‘The Wild Life,’ the oldie but goodie ‘Mountain of Storms, A Legendary Road Trip’ is freely available by Patagonia (google it). This film (52:27) is about the 1968 Viva Los Fun Hogs van expedition from Ventura, California, to Patagonia by Yvon Chouinard, Doug...

Will make return to wedding photography boring, no?

Back-country skiers and snowboarders are a pretty laid back groups. :)

Ha, ha, ha! This suggestion really made me laugh. Limits will be placed on the numbers skiing on Mt. Washington when limits are placed on the numbers hiking on trails (or bushwhacking) in the Whites. Hint: neither is ever going to happen. :)

New BSP Director has been hired...

I was impressed by the high percentage of skiers and boarders carrying short axes on their packs when I visited the Ravine last Thursday. Talked to a pair of skiers who were able to descend continuously 4300 vertical ft from the summit parking lot to Pinkham via the East Snowfields, Central...
