I'll bet you're off to do another round aren't you? :)

Winter is here. I thought I would bump this up. Keep in mind that we want to know if there are any canine winter 48 finishers this years. I know there are some like Dusty who are poised for the finish.

That's certainly true when hiking the "48". That's what I always told my wife when she complained about me going out alone. But, when I did the NEHH, I spent a summer doing the "whacks" up in northern Maine without seeing anybody. Down here, even out of peak through hiking season, you will...

Should I hike solo. The subject has often been discussed on this web-site. This article in Backpacker adds some interesting food for thought. http://www.backpacker.com/destinations-stories/solo-hiking/

For those who hike with a dog, especially if he's at close quarters as he would be if on a leash, the EVO style rails provide a better margin of safety for the dog as they are inset a bit and less likely to pierce the dog's foot if it happened to get under foot.

Here's one that seems to somewhat fit the description...

Ditto: if you're looking for the easiest way back take Valley Way. If you're looking for the biggest adventure take Watson. If there's fresh unpacked snow on those steep sections, it will be an adventure. :)

What you are referring to is the Picasa web album, as far as I know Picasa desk top remains intact. Wikipedia made this statement: "Google integrated Picasa Web Albums into Google+ in 2013. Users who access their Picasa Web Albums automatically get redirected to Google+. Google released the...

My Casio Pro Trek is still going strong after seven years. The photo electric cell has never blinked. It still registers 'Hi' on charge. All sensors still working fine. After seven years I did just have to replace the watch band but that also is good compared to my prior experience with...

Two or three times when coming down the Scaur Ridge trail I heard voices ahead of me and I kept expecting to see someone around the next turn but I never did see anyone and there were no signs of anyone walking ahead of us or out in the woods. I remember at the time it was something of an erie...

If your boots are Goretex and large enough to permit wearing heavy wool socks without being too tight I would say that would be sufficient for this time of year. If the boots are too tight with the heavy socks don't go that way as your feet will probably be too cold. As the weather gets colder...

I know how you feel as I hike with a smaller dog and smaller dogs seem to excite the prey instinct in many larger dogs. As you say most dogs are pretty well behaved but we have had a few incidents. The State parks require dogs to be leashed but in the White Mts. it's a bit more ambiguous as...

Interesting issue, it got me to thinking, do your goats butt at all? If they butted someone off the trail they might not be too popular. Do you keep them on a rope or leash? As I said before, I always wondered what it would be like to hike with a goat.

I[ve always wondered what it would be like to hike with a goat I hope you'll post some of your adventures.

Sounds good to me.

Onetime when shopping in IMS Conway, I overheard a client booking a trip to Kilimanjaro with the IMS owner who obviously does guiding. I believe from the photos in the store that he has climbed Everest. I don't know any more about him than that but others on this site may have more input on him.

What about using boot gaiters over your low cut North Face shoes. http://www.djbennett.com/outdoor-research-gaiters.html?kpid=109170&gclid=CjwKEAjw5ZKiBRDhqa-Yjcml9kYSJABia-RnuKM7-F6LLtWJr2nZ1o3YZdj4t8JpDvu9NLaB1EjXQhoCnX7w_wcB

Nice pics, thanks.

I talked with Eric Savage about the issue and here's what he told me. When Kevin Rooney made the application for Brutus it was the first time that such an application had been made and it caught the committee by surprise and they gave Brutus the certificate. However, after reflecting on the...

Loved the report. Can you post any pics?
