    Knife Edge 01Oct2011

    Did you gents eat at Pelletier's afterward? I think my wife and son and I sat next to you. I was on Hamlin and went down Saddle earlier in the day. I think we might have crossed paths then, too.

    "The Grid" has replaced "The List"

    I think Wu just likes to say he doesn't care about a list And doesn't need to finish. And since he succumbed to the temptation and finished the 48 he needs a new list to poo poo... :D

    Searching for the lost J.R. Persons pill boxes

    Okay, I just checked my pictures from that trip and have photos of both of the pill bottles (S- square bottle and N - round bottle). I guess my memory is poor. thanks for jogging it, Roy.

    Searching for the lost J.R. Persons pill boxes

    On Peaked (The County), I found the marker but no box. I found no boxes on Center (2004), Russell (the BSP one - 2006), or N Pogy (2006). I did leave a little something on Center, though.

    Alex Honnald - free soloing video

    It was in there but clearly downplayed. It makes for better drama if they don't make that clear. Obfuscation? I agree that should have been more clear. any way you slice it, it's very, very impressive. I too, can't help but think sooner or later we'll have a "RIP - Honnald" thread... How's the...

    North Basin, Katahdin

    I don't have a full trip report, but a few friends and I scrambled up the northern wall of the North Basin on Katahdin yesterday. This was our only real objective for the day. From Blueberry Knoll we picked out a route that followed a crevice from left to right, but shortly after we left...

    Attaching snowshoes to daypacks

    Don't believe everything you read. That sounds like something someone who spends more time thinking about hiking than actually hiking would say :D I typically lash them to the back with a really old webbing belt that doesn't fit anymore :o On the few occasions when I've attached them to the...

    Baxter Park - new trail to pond near East Turner?

    Roy, the new Twin Ponds Trail stays below East Turner's flank and follows the remnants of a trail that was there some time ago. I have not been on it personally but have spoken to several Park folks who have been on it. I believe it is very near complete. The online map, which is poor at best...

    Irene -- Please use this thread for NH/VT/ME road closures

    I'd just like to point out that we joke a lot in northern New England about not being able to travel east-west. Well, it's a whole lot worse now. I'm trying to map a reasonable route from Bangor to Warren, NH and it's not looking promising based on the NH 511 map. Anyone trying to head east...

    Magalloway Mtn - what's this?

    I bet a golf course somewhere is missing a Hole 3 water cooler stand, or lazy golfer seat, or whatever. Other than that, it looks like classic Northern New England ingenuity... it's just missing an empty Allen's bottle.

    peakbaggers: please don't flag...it's trash

    Reminds me of a similar fitful day I had back in '05 with Papa Bear. This is one bushwhack's worth. Flaggers have no soul. There, I said it.

    1st Edition WMG

    I don't suppose they have serial numbers but isn't there a high likelihood that the same copies keep get passed around? Scenario: Guy wants old hiking book but doesn't have large sum of spare $ sitting around. Guy gets old and finally has the expendable resources. Guy enjoys book but doesn't...

    It's time for a family tent...

    thanks everyone. We ended up with a Kingdom 4 with the added vestibule. I think it will work very well for us, although our first trip with it isn't for a couple more weeks.
