How was the south section of Rocky Branch (from Jericho Rd to Isolation East) to navigate? Planning a one night loop over Stairs and Isolation sometime this fall. Thanks!

I've passed excavators cleaning up waterbars on Polecat a couple times.

Are dogs still prohibited in winter? Doesn't mention it on the website.

A friend and I spotted my car an Lincoln Woods once and drove his up to the North Twin Trailhead for a one night Twins/Bonds traverse. As we were getting ready to lock up his car, I said "I am going to throw my keys in your glove box so I don't loose them". "Good idea" he said. It never clicked...

They cleared 19 Mile Brook with a loader sometime on Friday while we were on the trail.

This coincidentally showed up in the paper yesterday. https://www.fosters.com/news/20181215/maines-911-system-now-accepts-texts

Since I'm paid until the end of 2020 I asked about a refund. No response so far.

Not sure how long it has been down. But it's down. https://www.outdoors.org/trip-ideas-tips-resources/wmgo

There is an article in today's Conway Daily Sun saying that they have arrested the suspect. Apparently he broke into a car at Black Cap trail head and stole a debit card, and the pictures were taken as he tried to use it. The only item of value I ever leave in my vehicle is a beer on ice apres hike.

Looks like a pretty distinctive vehicle with mismatched wheels/hubcaps. http://www.wmwv.com/conway-police-warn-of-recent-vehicle-break-ins/

This article explains it much better. Including where his car was found (Pinkham Notch). http://www.nh1.com/news/new-hampshire/waste-of-time-and-money-missing-massachusetts-hiker-found-at-luxury-hotel

Personally, I have not been documenting conditions much as I usually end up hiking just before a major weather event. I met one other on my way down yesterday heading for Adams. I don't think the ice is that bad from what I saw.

I climbed Madison yesterday (Valley Way), and IMO conditions are perfect. Spikes the entire way, hard packed, grippy and fast. Summit cone mostly bare rock with some ice here and there. Only two small patches of boilerplate-ish ice, both easily avoidable.

This is from an article this morning in the Union Leader about a rescue last night (10/18 into 10/19) on the Avalon trail, due to an injured ankle. Anyone know what happened in the notch? “Due to a hiker death in Franconia Notch, this rescue had a skeleton crew for the carry out and they...

Beautiful area. We have a camp on Mason Hill. Within walking distance to the Fred Woods Trail. Adding this to my bucket list, right after the Quehanna Trail! Thanks for sharing!

If only every day could be like our Moriah day last winter.......

The Sunday race doesn't start until 3:00 this year, so I wouldn't expect traffic to get bad southbound until around 7-8 o'clock.

While I've never seen one, my dog found one near Eliza Brook Shelter a couple year ago. It was a long walk out Reel Brook and down the road to our car at the Mt. Kinsman trailhead for the poor guy, followed quick visit to CAVES in Concord.

Found a piece of wriswear in the lower basin lot. Looks like it belongs to a hiker and not a tourist. Let me know at: mthiker100@yahoo.

Great hiking with you yesterday. We'll try to hook up for one of those four, or if nothing else we will make it to Cabot for your finish.
