Love it. That's great. :)

A fascinating report, thanks for sharing. I hope you'll post some pictures.

Atticus' name was originally on the list. Tom asked that his name be removed.

That's great, congratulations to Kali and to Heather. From what I saw on your other post, Tim, that was one impressive marathon that was done to finish up. As you mentioned, elsewhere, Kali now joins Pepper as the only two dogs to do the grid. I guess it's time for Kali to finish up her...

You found that out huh? :)

When this discussion comes up there are many interesting suggestions, but one thing that is rarely mentioned is that losing ten or more pounds of body weight would probably help as much as anything else.

It's my understanding that the Bear Vault, both sizes, was redesigned by adding a second tab to the top that has to be compressed, but I think it was done before the death of the Yellow-Yellow bear.

And vice versa. One of the best ways to stay in good health is to get a dog and make sure he gets enough exercise. Got to get going, as soon as he finishes eating we're going to take off for the dog park. :)

Thank you for your very kind thoughts. Getting another Welsh Terrier so quickly was a real surprise it doesn't often work that way. The folks at WT rescue were looking for a home for him where he would get a lot of exercise. We seemed destined for each other so there was no sense in waiting...

Thank you so much. I'm very touched by your thoughtfulness. I found the pictures and shared them on my home page. In the same vein I'd like to also thank Ed Hawkins who made a donation to Baxter Park in memory of Lauky.

Beautiful!!!

For a bear canister to work it has to be larger than the opening of a bears mouth. For that reason you won't find anything significantly smaller than the Bare Boxer. Just slightly larger is the BearVault 450. 440 cubic inches compared to 275 for the BareBoxer. The 450 fits nicely in my pack...

Sometimes life moves faster than you can imagine. In our case it started with just a casual note to WT Cares the Welsh Terrier rescue group just out of curiosity. In the space of an hour I had a response asking if I would be interested in a just turned 5 Welsh Terrier who needed a lot of...

I did the traverse six times before I left the area, once in the summer, once in the winter and four times in the Fall. For a long beautiful hike like that I would maintain that the Fall is absolutely the best time to do it. I found it less fatiguing in the cool air and at that time of year...

Thank you to everyone for your very kind words. I'm very touched by your comments and even a bit surprised by all those who remember him and even Duffy. That does go back a ways for Duffy. We had many great hikes in the Whites and also in the Belknaps. We used to head to the Belknaps every...

Oh thank you, that's very thoughtful, please do. I'll be in New England this fall, if possible I'll try to get up there. Lauky, by the way, was the seventh dog to get the Belknap Range patch.

When it comes to comfort, support and grip I absolutely love my Asolo Neutrons. However for hikes that require multiple wet foot fords of a stream I purchased a pair of Columbia Powervent trail running shoes. They have a well made mesh upper with a protective toe covering. The insoles are...

Lauky July 19, 2007 -- July 9, 2015 RIP We haven't posted much since moving to Georgia in the summer of 2013 but there was a time when Lauky's hikes were fairly frequently posted. Following the Vet's instructions I didn't take him up any 4000 footers until he was six months old and no hikes...

My 2002 edition of the Maine Gazetteer does not show the facility. It would be interesting to know when it was added and what led to its being added. I have a friend who did the training during the Nam era with another branch of service in another area. I sent the article to him. He replied...

That was a fascinating article. I had no idea. I met a couple recently in Georgia northbound on the AT. We had an interesting discussion and this case came up. They have a close friend who is a very experienced S&R person who was called in to help look for Mrs. Largay. His conclusion was...
