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

    Thanks, all...this has been a good thread. And sure, I've seen flagging from timber harvest and surveying, and I've seen flagging intended to identify tasks for trail work. It's beyond obvious. I always leave those alone. I've also seen flagging that marked the boundary for WMU for the...

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

    As I clearly stated...I followed the trash-trail right to the summit. It ended there. There is evidence of where a canister once hung. The trash-trail went from the hiking trail to the summit. Sooooooooo... I decided to remove because it is Wilderness and it is an illegal marking through...

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

    Are poles worth it?

    Personal preference of corse, but I can't imagine having them in my hands...I use my hands while hiking....taking picks, grabbing branches, drinking, eating, wiping sweat, etc., etc......can't imagine not having free hands.

    Mt. Paugus in a lightning storm

    I hiked with some peakbaggers to the trailless summit of Mt. Paugus. BeccaM, Ed and Bob "needed" Mt. Paugus for some reason so dire that lightning encountered just shy of the summit was not even considered. We hiked the Kelly Trail out of Fernrroft to the Lawrence Trail, which climbs rather...

    Perseids

    Kevin....nice! a few comments... 1) are you sure your ISO was 100? Even at f/2.8 I'm surprised at that. 2) trailing stars... there are two factors: lens size and angular distance from the celestial pole(very close to Polaris).... -a smaller lens can take a longer exposure before trailing...
