What's crazy is that parking is allowed on Rt. 11 to begin with. Think of how much less impact would occur on the trail if it was not allowed.

Maybe so but not as bad as when they worked on Dead Man’s Curve.

Who? Your “X”? As I mentioned I hike a lot with my Wife but maybe we should stay away from group hikes.😉

My days long ago before dirt was created, I was a Hiking Counselor at a Boy's Camp. I look back now on those days and probably the best part as you have described above was the joy on others faces when turning them on to the Mountains. Many of the boys were from a city environment and some under...

"Group Hikes" can be defined different ways. A well organized group can be a lot of fun if it is not too large. This occurs when there is a defined leader and possibly a Co-leader. IMO if you are a participant of the group then you should expect to act as a group. For example working together...

Here's the Trail report as of 5/10/24 from The RMC. Great time to be hiking in Southern Regions IMO. Trail Report as of May 10th Trails continue to be ever-changing and with the weather we are currently experiencing we recommend to be prepared for all conditions. Recommended gear includes...

I agree. It should also be recognized the White Mountains of New Hampshire are also a training ground for Wilderness Medicine. SOLO in Conway ,NH is the oldest continuously operating Wilderness Medicine School in the world. In other words, there is no lack of rescuers ready to jump on an incident.

What a difference a month or two makes.

These are the true moments of what selfies are made of before finding the keypad.

Changing of the guard is always difficult.

"So perhaps yes, it might be true that “if you build it they will come”, and in this case the creation of the glade skiing opportunity on the RCF is looking like a great success, providing additional outdoor winter recreational opportunities on the forest while contributing to the local economy...

So your point of relevance is? Carrol Police and a campground vs. ultrarunning in the Pemi and NH F&G don't seem like the same ballpark to me.

Blaming the light or not his Wife made the call. Whether there was an agreed upon time or not that she was instructed to do that or was it a subjective opinion on her part is more of the question in my opinion. Either way she initiated the call and got the response she was looking for. Making...

When Googling "What is the difference between a Search and a Rescue this was the primary answer given: "Search involves locating victims and documenting their location. Rescue involves the procedures and methods required to extricate the victims".

Very well explained. Thank you for the clarifications.

The victim was searched for and located. Then extricated with outside aid beyond his personal resources. Which qualifies as a rescue by most if not all SAR standards.

Good points. Although maybe not a rescue per se but certainly a rescue response which could have been avoided. Possibly the Wife was thinking of being safe rather than sorry.

I agree on all points you are making. The victim in this case is well experienced and has quite a resume in regard to athleticism according to his FB Page. Surprised he and his team did not manage the situation better. Would be interested on how many rescuers responded and the cost. If the...

Way too hasty on a lot of folks part with this one.

Don't get too excited. "During our normal operating season, guests may bring food and non-alcoholic beverages for themselves to enjoy at any of the designated picnic areas on the property".
