Non Paywall https://www.conwaydailysun.com/news/local/hiker-with-broken-leg-airlifted-from-edmands-col-cutoff-trail/article_deb7a8e2-1c49-11ef-9df3-739ae5053cc2.html Sounds like the hiker really went over and above to get into an accessible location. I think I have only hiked it once over many...

No details yet but saw some paywalled headlines that a hiker had a serious broken leg and had to crawl to a helicopter. As soon as anyone has seen a non firewalled report, fell free to post it.

I wonder why the FS is doing work there? Its all private land except the AT corridor.

The tram lot is also a convenient place to park if doing the Eagle Cliff ""bushwhack" north to south traverse. It requires some off trail skills particularly in finding the beginning and the final drop to Greenleaf trail (if in doubt stay east of the ridge to avoid the cliff band but for the...

One thing to keep in mind is that for most it takes longer from where it leaves the paved road to trailhead than most people plan for. That and bugs in that area are an issue well after they are an issue elsewhere. At least finding the end of the road is a lot easier that it was historically...

The first mile or so used to get beat up by traffic going to the ATV parking, usually it was less beat up past that.

Unless its changed, the paved Tramway Parking lot was signed that it was not for hiker parking. The designated lot was a dirt lot somewhat out of sight to the south end of the paved lot. It is odd that the Old Man Viewing lot on the north side of the parkway that no longer has a view is signed...

Keith the AMC trails supervisor for this area usually posts when Success Pond road is open and any notes on condition. The trailhead lots are rarely crowded enough not to find parking. Most avoid this area until mid June as bugs can be fierce.

Welcome Jon (to your first post)

Typical end stage activities for a struggling retailer. There is big retail real estate slump and building owners are struggling to fill empty spaces, they are going to offer low lease rates to try to fill those spaces, so a struggling retailer is going to do what they can to break a current...

My guess is Welch Dickey would get one. That is another high volume lot

So, does somebody who buys a reservation at Greenleaf Hut get an automatic permit or do they take their chances and get in line?. Then the question comes, is the state giving preferential treatment to AMC over a John Q Public?. The lower Greenleaf trail is a nice option Plenty of parking at...

The problem with a "fee pilot" is that in theory it is spent locally for a few years but various creative budgeting techniques usually figure a way how to drain the "extra funds". With respect to some sort of permit program for the Franconia Loop, I think there may be conflicts with the...

Thanks, Conway Daily Sun seems to have variable paywall. I normally try to link to it but sometimes, like this one, it reverted to "subscribers only".

https://whitemountains.tv/white-mountain-nf-seasonal-roads-closed-due-to-storm-damage/ The Wild River Campground has a loyal following of campers. With the road closed access to the Wild River in general has just gotten more challenging although I wonder how accessible the road is with a bike...

One of the issues was that the non profit GBA was dependent on profit making entities controlled by Tyler. If he is stepping down from the non profit yet retaining control of the support entities what will be the impact?

My guess is with the battle over logging versus carbon sequestration over the headwaters tract, road work is going to be limited as part of the original grand deal was the state took over the road network and maintained it while anyone logging in the areas paid a fee for using them. Less logging...

It was major local issue in Conway area during Covid. The staffing is or was paid by the town despite it being a USFS fee parking area. It a gold mine, unlike hiker lots, folks are typically only there for an hour or less and the lot stays full. Technically I did not see any conduits or power...

I expect when the crews are done with the OBP and Falling Waters hardening somewhere in the next couple of decades, they can head right over to the other 4Ks ;)
