    Highland Center?

    My 2 cents from my one visit- = which by the way was with Sapblatt. The bunkhouse was nice but we were surprised at how rude some people were. We spent some time around dinner relaxing in front of the fire in the HC. Shortly after about 12 young kids came in running and yelling and were...

    A week at Baxter State Park – September 13-19, 2008 - PART TWO

    What a great trip- the planning of the route by Sapblatt was great and I recommend to those going that they think about hitting the remote areas as well as the peaks! Mike has nailed the report and pix, as usual, but since I have the technology if interested my pix (too many) and videos here...

    My First VFTT Decal Sighting

    Timley thread- coming down route 3 this week, I think Wednesday? around exit 27 I saw a car with a VFTT sticker around 645-700am. I think NH plates, and of course I have already forgotten the make of the car. Good memory, huh?

    Music while hiking

    I voted no, but I am not bothered if somebody else listens to tunes (that I can’t hear). I generally put on my IPOD to relax and stop thinking about real life- time on the trail does it for me as well so no need to add the tunes to it. I could see a situation on a long solo day on good terrain...

    Hiker Dies on Haystack Mtn.

    I received a call about this last night. Unforntunately, the hiker who died was one of the VFTT community and the two hikers who were with him as well. Ray was a great man and gentleman and I was happy to have had him with me on my 48, among others. They were doing PATN, and came down...

    Slide from the Neversink

    Nice TR. Thanks for sharing. I can add , having a daughter starting college in Maine this weekend that many schools have different trips as part of their orientation weekend and these college students could well have been on one of those orientation trips.

    Salvage Operation on the Willey Range, 8/17/2008

    Earl, we were thinking of your hike and we didn't miss you by much at Appalachia. We thought you might have better luck with the forecast in the morning and as we hit the valley descending it seemed clearer, but sounds like conditions never got good. Still sounds like you two had a full day...
