No doubt the net snowpack went down with the wet weather the last few days, but a reminder that its still April in northern NH. Just a trace of fresh snow on elevated surfaces at 1400 feet at the Gorham/Randolph line.

Digging through my phone I found this shot during totality. Cannon and Lafayette are visible south of the eclise.

The exit next to gym on Plymouth was closed and underwater this AM. The Baker was lapping up against the highway in several spots.

I expect its a combination of many things. GBAs first glade was Randolph. Tyler Ray is a very charismatic leader of the organization, quite media savvy and the media loves him. The Randolph Glades already existed to some extent, but Tyler convinced the Randolph Community Forest managing board to...

Its looking like the Pemi and Peabody gages are heading straight up.

Looks like we just burned up lot of positive karma credits for weather like we had on Monday ;) Glad to see you had a good time in Millinocket. Some day some how they will catch a break. There is a soon to be new entrance to Katahdin Woods and Waters through the new big chunk of Tribal land...

I had a chance to attend the rescheduled hearing. Tyler Ray the charismatic founder of GBA was not present due to a scheduling conflict. Various people, many who were the original developers and users of the glades long before Granite Backcountry Alliance and residents in the area expressed...

It interesting to hear your opinion on Sugarloaf, things must have healed up or there was a reroute. It been 30 years since I did it but remember some very deep ruts from logging equipment heading quite far up the slope and the messy burnt out remains of a fire tower cabin. It was straight up...

BTW, daily variation from day to night are pretty obvious on the gages, that means the snow is right on the edge of turning into water so just a bit of sun or rain makes a big difference in streamflow.

I doubt the roads were melted out so one long muddy haul. They probably had some room in the fire tower;)

Either folks listened to F&G to avoid the backcountry or the ones that did go did not need rescuing? Looking at New England Trail Conditions there are multiple trail reports including mine on Eclipse day. Of course if someone wanted to be in the path of totality, the options were kind of slim in...

Thanks for the important clarification. Looking at the background of the individual it sure looks like they just took advantage of an opportunity for financial gain.

Its looking like the next 48 hours is going to be the spring melt in the Northern NH. The snow pack is still up in the woods and its its "rotten" and ready to turn into water. Stream are already running a bit high and the forecast is light rain today and warm temps with much heavier rain...

Yes, I did hear of them. The "golden rule" applies to a trail maintenance in the whites, the entity that has the gold (funding) makes the rules. When I made comments about the Crawford path project at one point on VFTT and the somewhat strange funding, a rep from local group later expressed...

It starts out on a wide recent gravel road that start at the Sumemr Club gate anf then splits off the summer club road to newer road networj. The newer road is pretty raw and hasnt stabilized (grass hasnt moved in) It wide and well marked. It crosses a couple of old roads and snowmachine grades...

My guess is Waze was redirecting traffic around jammed roads I saw that in Berlin. When I finally broke free of traffic jamb at the lights in Gorham I encountered a lot of traffic with out of state plates head east towards Gorham I expect they were trying to avoid southbound traffic jambs to the...

I was up early and decided to head over to the parking lot in Stark NH at Christine Lake. Its a paved road and plowed to the summer club gate. The driveway to the boat landing and parking was not, but most vehicles could make it through to the parking. There looked to be few folks who had camped...

Hard to beat the forecast for this afternoon. No doubt it will be sloppy out there. The sun and temps really did a number on the snow pack but my guess for those heading into the woods that the impact was less in the shady softwoods.

Looks like the road to my trailhead is plowed and some cars with out of state plates were parked nearby. Looks like I do not have to break trail and will have some company.

I havent been there but many recommend a visit to this place https://www.mainetrailfinder.com/trails/trail/cutler-coast-public-reserved-land
