Not really a change to the forests in this area that I have noticed. Many of the areas in CT are mixed forest so the squirrels tend to be, while not next to each other, nearby each other. As far as taste. They can be hunted in CT. I have hunted grey squirrels and they are very good. And by good...

Have red squirrels been invading your area? I remember the only place I ever saw red squirrels was in the Adirondacks. Years of observing grey squirrels in CT and we use to never see any reds in CT - none. It wasn't till the 1990's that I think I saw the first one in CT. It was an incredible...

Thanks for the memories. I spent time camping in both the old resolution shelter location and on Stairs. Both are remembered fondly. Nice pictures, thanks again. Keith

Little off topic. I am not sure if it is the lack of water but my wife and I took a short road trip and I spotted three dead turkeys from car strikes and several live ones running around. They must have had an easy winter. There are lots around. Now they might be moving a lot to try to find...

Oh, and let me point out that tripwires are not usually that hard to spot, especially by people that don't really know how to set ****y traps. Virtually nothing in nature is linear. It is not unusual to actually see the tripwire which is a linear feature. The trick is less seeing it than...

I have been trained in identifying ****y traps in the military and use to lead a lot of patrols and use to spot them with regularity. The funny part was many years after I got out of the service, I have spotted at least three different ones. One in NH, that was actually a people counter the FS...

That looks fantastic. Looking forward to seeing pictures of it on the water. Keith

Thanks guys. I guess I'll need to see if they open it when they open the rest. I was thinking that they would open the roads earlier, but not sure if they will. Have been watching their website. Keith

I was actually wondering about that myself. Can Sawyer river road be opened as is? Or is it not drivable in its current condition? Keith

The mice were legendary. I had a roll of toilet paper I left out as community TP. It was absolutely shredded overnight. I also have gone to tents/tarps/hammocks sierra. I stay away from shelters now and have for years. It is my intention to get away from people, not congregate with them when I...

That is the point. Neither are part 15 devices that would need to accept whatever interference it received. Knowing that, Lightsquared would be responsible to fix the problem if they caused it to the GPS service, up to and including turning their equipment off. So knowing that LightSquared would...

There was lots of screaming about the amount of "interference" that would be generated or need to be tolerated long before the FCC accepted lightsquared's application to try this. As I remember NTIA was against it from the beginning and didn't want them to get the permit to try. Thank god it has...

Excellent. I haven't been to the Adirondacks avy pass in the winter in a while. Loved the video. Thanks, Keith

It was a crappy shelter but, it was the first I ever went to. It had sentimental appeal to me. The box for bathroom activity was as dangerous and as overfilled as anything I had ever seen and water was difficult to get at times. Still, I'll be sorry to see it go. I have used the tent sites above...

Guess where mine is? ;)

Thanks for posting this. It sounds great, looking forward to seeing it. Keith

Just curious. So did the very experienced hikers you know just hunker down and call the feds on their cellphones and wait for rescue? Or did they take out their headlamps, put on their wet weather gear and look at their compass and make it back to the trail-head? :rolleyes: Keith

I read that he was given either a bad conduct or medical discharge. I don't believe that any of it was combat stress related. It was drinking, impulse control and other issues. He was definitely released before a full enlistment so there was something going on there. A BCD is not given lightly...

My wife told me about it yesterday. What can you say? Monadnock? Seriously? Are you freaking kidding? Their "experience was a good test"? Of what? Boy are they going to be in for a surprise when they enter the Marines. Your analogy is very apt. Keith

More police officers have been killed in car related deaths than firearms as long as those records have been kept. Almost two to one. Any loss is significant but they face greater dangers on the highways and streets by cars and driving than by firearms. The fire service is the same. Car...
