    EMS Sold -- Again

    Likely since it says you get 20% off with the code (Blowout), so it won't show up on each item as you look at them separately, only in the cart when that code is entered (maybe as you are preparing to finish checking out).

    EMS Sold -- Again

    That may explain Albany (NY). They had been running sales there to get rid of inventory as they were preparing to move to another spot in the plaza, but then some of the signage makes it look like they are just closing completely, but no one seems to be completely sure. Perhaps that was a...

    Last Minute Harriman State Park Beta

    That does happen many times :) Even being in NY you can (try to) forget about it some of the time ;)

    Acadia Best day hikes

    There are probably a few spots that aren't quite as populated, such as the parts that are off of Mt. Desert Island. And there are ways to loop/connect a few of the trails to make a bit longer hikes. Remember one (but not the exact trails - think it was from the Beehive side, then down towards...

    Last Minute Harriman State Park Beta

    Seems (sort of) odd that they haven't tried to create something for this - obviously, if it's hard to dig, it would be hard to do so for the outhouses as well, but at least they would (or could) have access to some type of better gear to do so (even if that meant flying it in as is done in other...

    10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0 days and counting - Eclipse in Northern NH - Where you going to be ?

    Only if they were headed to Nova Scotia? ;) Probably should have gone to upstate NY instead - now for the eclipse, then come back in a couple months for the Belmont (at Saratoga, where their horse will naturally win). OK, maybe that's a bit too much of the song? ;)

    Mt. Greylock

    I believe there is (or was) a club with that name that was connected to the ski trail of the same name. Maybe inferring that you did more or less the same by hiking in winter, just as those who skied said trail had to do to get to the top of it?

    10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0 days and counting - Eclipse in Northern NH - Where you going to be ?

    Certainly understandable why there would be concerns. After all, look at all the posts on these forums of what happens with hikers not being prepared for the conditions in the mountains, even when they have at least hiked other places before. Quite likely that many of those planning to go to...

    Fatality on Mt. Guyot

    Even when people read the forecasted conditions, those forecasts are not 100% accurate. We've had storms that turned out to be more snow than was forecasted, ones where forecasted snow instead became rain, and ones where we were on the "edge" of the storm and got little or nothing when the...

    Fatality on Mt. Guyot

    Not that the event itself is good, but rather that most people would prefer having death occur (if it has to) in such a way over getting some of the diseases that people get and spend months or years fading away slowly and sometimes painfully for both the person and others around them.

    Its that time of the year - Renew NH Hike Safe Card

    Maybe to avoid them being shared? Wouldn't be hard to do without some type of identifying info. on it (especially for two people with the same name, like a Sr. & Jr.).

    Ageism or Irresponsibility?

    Perhaps in such a situation, if she still wants to hike and he is OK letting her, simply don't request the assistance. If you are planning to pick her up at a certain point and she isn't there, you can attempt (if you are OK) to hike back to the start point for that section and look for her...

    The latest in long a line of proposals for Millinocket

    Looking at said Facebook page, there are two things that lead to thinking they would have at least non-alcoholic options available. One being that in the spring/fall, they offer a pizza buffet, with a price listed for children 10 and under (who obviously can't drink beer, and being a buffet...

    Petition to change the name of Mt Washington

    The point being, there WAS a president with that name, where there were NOT presidents named Clay, Webster or Franklin. Thus, even if named for someone else, it still sounds like it belongs to a Presidential range!

    Petition to change the name of Mt Washington

    Three of those make sense, but our 7th President might like a word with you on that last one... ;)

    Rainbow Family Gathering in the Kilkennies Fourth of July

    Also, the 25th that was held elsewhere as well :)

    Q: Upper Works Trailhead?

    That is true. I know that there are a few spots that do have campsites that one can drive right to along the roadways, but do not know enough to know if there are any close to this particular trailhead. Hopefully someone else can provide more info on that, it may also be worth checking the ADK...

    Looking for backcountry camping opportunity near waterfalls.

    Do note this one can be small if the weather is drier, but if you manage to hike in and then have a downpour overnight, you will definitely notice the difference crossing it to leave in the morning! :)

    Got a parking ticket at Kearsage North today

    Perhaps some of those locals should take advantage of the lack of parking and make some money for themselves by allowing people to park on their properties near trails for a fee. Works in other areas where there is more demand for parking than space available, or the private spots are more...
