    Man vs Women

    Seems like you're trying to goad someone into saying something controversial. I'll take the bait. Here's a news flash: Men are athletically/physically superior to women. This is not an opinion; it's a demonstrable fact. You can hate me for saying it. I don't care. I'm not running for...

    A new long one: The Gorham Loop

    Knock off 40+ mountain miles in a day? Sure, no problem. Right after I get drafted by the Canadiens and get a date with Jessica Alba.

    Wading up the Great Gulf Trail

    Went up Great Gulf Trail from Dolly Copp. Wanted to go to Washington summit, but forecast wiped out that plan. Plan B was to at least get to Spaulding Lake, but the group decided to turn around at Six Husbands junction due to the trail becoming a stream. The previous days' rain made the trail...

    Hut photo question

    Besides Franconia Ridge (Greenleaf and Lonesome Lake Huts), are there any locations from which two huts can be captured in the same photo?

    Mount Moriah (August 4, 2012)

    I like photo #15 in your smugmug gallery. The little dude is smiling and looking as fresh and happy as can be, while all the adults look totally wiped out. IMO saturday was the worst weather day this summer.

    Pemi District Ranger headed to California

    Dear Molly, I met some nice people while cleaning up your pathetic, disgusting mess at the bridge site. When it comes to government hackery, and attaining that enviable position of having tons of authority with zero accountability, you set an incredibly high standard for your successor. Break...

    Deer Flies in the North Country

    Deer flies in the North Country? Really? Seen them run and hop, but never fly.

    Bondcliff!! I made it!! 7/14/12

    Ok, well, I'll say it for you. The trail IS boring. Sure there are a few interesting things along the way, but for the most part it's monotonous. But then you hit the summit area, and as you said, "Bam". I've taken a few people on a few different trips to Bondcliff, and I told them all ahead...

    Grand Canyon trip - looking for advice

    Based on some of the replies here, I guess I'm wrong about this, but I thought the cabins were exclusively for mule riders, and hikers had to stay at Bright Angel Campground. Happy to be wrong about that. That would be cool if you could score one of those cabins. Here are some photos from a...

    a nice day on Mt. Washington

    Patrick, be patient and don't get discouraged. Just keep practicing and eventually you'll get the hang of this photography thing.

    Moosilauke question

    Thanks for all the tips. Went up Gorge Brook and down Asquam Ridge. The great stretch of not-too-hot, not-too-humid weather this past week was gone by Friday July 13th. Still a nice day, but the skies were a bit hazy. Could've been a 100-mile-views kind of a day if not for the milky...

    Insultex

    Would someone use that product to say derogatory things about his/her former spouse?

    Paging Mr Darwin

    Love the last sentence, oozing with sarcasm. http://www.rexburgstandardjournal.com/news/man-hospitalized-after-bison-goring-in-park/article_b892edd4-bfa4-11e1-bc80-001a4bcf887a.html#axzz1yzxmC08m

    Moosilauke question

    What's the prettiest trail(s) up and down Mt Moosilauke? This will be my first time visiting this mountain and I want to hit all the nicest spots (brooks, falls, views, etc) on my way to/from the summit. Not in a rush, don't care about fastest or easiest route, just the prettiest. I can't find...

    OK Bokeh on Franconia Ridge

    canon dslr, 70-200mm lens, heliopan polarizer .... heavy as hell to hike with, but worth every ounce ... they're my favorite toys and they're fun to play with

    OK Bokeh on Franconia Ridge

    Wanted to play around with bokeh and also distance compression effect, so I decided to use a long lens on this hike. I love the wide angle landscape shots from the ridge, but the weather and time of day wasn't going to provide anything in the way of special light, so I stuck with the long lens...

    Hikes in Crawford Notch?

    Yes, Elephant Head is very nice. Great choice if you're pressed for time and want some nice views quick. If you go a bit further up the same trail, you can walk out on Bugle Cliffs.

    Hikes in Crawford Notch?

    Another vote for Mt Crawford. Great summit views for such a short hike. Nancy Pond Trail up to the cascades is another nice one. I don't think the leaves are turning yet near Mt Crawford, but you get the jist.

    Hey Doc, it hurts when I do this

    Let's whine a little. It's not dignified, but just this once. What's hurting you? Like many on this board I've been extremely fortunate with my health. Some of that is our own doing (eat right, exercise, get enough rest, don't stick your head in a wood chipper), but some of it is just plain...
