We are considering a less wild option by going to the Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium in St. Johnsbury. Having Mark Breen narrate what's going on while it's happening is very tempting. I like how an eclipse rearranges your typical perspective of your place in the Universe. Yes, we actually are...

Looks like Wayne (The Cog) might have some competition for summit space: https://www.conwaydailysun.com/news/local/wave-park-to-open-atop-mount-washington/article_1a5ea5a2-ce4f-11ed-a33b-7ba21d1b1453.html I knew I could count on the Sun This Morning.

Yeah, that really struck me also but figured it was due to Friday publication date; meeting Wednesday so maybe not enough time to include before print? Likewise I might assume regarding 'real' news with The Sun; oh well, weekly now, so not so much the purpose of these papers anymore....but I...

Oddly didn't read this in yesterday's Colebrook Chronicle, but just read in this morning's Caledonian Record "Balsams Secures "Critical" Approval For Redevelopment" and goes on to describe that the Coos County Planning Board conditionally granted the site plan approval, contingent on meeting...

I say I don't like using gps when hiking (stays in the pack for emergencies) and prefer my maps and reading the landscape. But my wife does as she has the need to quantify miles etc. and uses the thing on her phone for day to day stuff, but I have to say it is nice for clearing uncertainty...

There is a prediction for rain starting between 3 and 4 pm for this area. But a high of 40 and cloudy till then- so at least won't be slop for the better part of the day. I'm partial to suggest Bretton Woods since they have so much terrain and variable options, downhill/bc/xc all in one place...

I used to live in Nelson. My buddy who lives there texted me that he had 18 at 5:30 yesterday morning, then he reported 30 at 6:30 pm and it was snowing just as heavy. Nice hill town. Here- maybe 3" at 8:30 pm, and sure enough most came down overnite with a little over 6 this morning. Looks...

Go Figure! Different management philosophy.

I just finished reading an account of Thursday's meeting in the Caledonia Record. A discussion came up where the developer is trying to remove a condition of the permit with the county, to keep the hiking trails to Table Rock open. Developer is concerned about liability. The county folks pushed...

I always figured it was inevitable. Minor correction Peakbagger- eastern Grafton County, I'm glad I don't live in the "Sand-Lands" of Carroll County, too dry. https://www.vermontpublic.org/podcast/brave-little-state/2023-02-02/how-has-the-geology-of-vermont-affected-its-character-encore

My family bought a Nordic season pass for the area just below you at Bretton Woods, and I can confirm the arrival of excellent snow conditions. If it was 10 years earlier in my life, I may have been a regular skier off the Cog access, but am really enjoying the lower elevation trails with our...

Few more thoughts, Water filtration. I thought when First Need came out with the affordable filter (the one with the blue plastic filtering cartridge) it was a game changer. The next step that came along with straws and bottles with filtering is just amazingly convenient. Myself I like to use...

Hi Bill I lived in Tunbridge a little over 30 years ago where I built a cabin and was there for a couple of years. For fun I was maintaining a section of the Long Trail a little north of Killington. At the time I really wanted to live closer to the White Mtns. and in NH, now I regret leaving VT...

It wasn't that long ago that the Firetower Watchperson for State of NH was a pretty good job. I looked at and considered application to a position more than once, but they were not full time year-round. For many it was a good foot in the door into NH Park or Forest & Lands employment since they...

One of my favorite things to do when at the DRED (NH State Parks) HQ in Concord if I had to do some waiting, was to explore the survey and blueprint drawers containing almost 100 years of historical mapping documents. The coolest things were the fire tower summit maps that are the NH version of...

We used netting. Bought some sort of netting from Campmor I believe, as they used to sell something from Coghlans that was a big sheet. That baby smell, my wife and I are convinced it works as bug repellant for a period of time early in their lives.

LED's I can't believe we used to carry Maglights

I was just going to share this: https://www.wmur.com/article/break-ins-hiking-trailheads-white-mountains-new-hampshire/43015609 Story is reporting an uptick with incidents at FNSP and Beaver Brook Trailheads. A friend was at Mud Pond Jefferson this weekend and another hikers vehicle was window...

Yes! Love these conditions. Thought the same thing yesterday morning and led my family on a bushwack to explore some frozen rapids and a wetland edge on an adjoining parcel. I usually never can get them interested in this particular area. Might be because I keep pointing to the 'trails' I use...

Makes me feel young again. I'm a New Member after 18 years of participation. Oh. It just changed. Now I'm Active.
