Thank You ! 10 Thumbs Up ! I love my old Kelty external frame, my 40 year old National Park patches on it AND the looks I get from beaten down internal frame hikers. The other thing you can do is take the pack completely off the frame and throw it in the washing machine.

I did the loop in the winter from Marcy Dam, through Avalanche and up Algonquin and back to Marcy Dam. I cared as much about seeing Avalanche as I did about Algonquin though, so I went that way and then made the decision about Algonquin. I believe that section between Avalanche and Algonquin is...

or the pool on the way up the Ammo ? thanks

not cheap but looks effective; http://www.thegrayl.com/why-grayl/

the app has already been utilized by thieves and pedofiles and the app accesses everything on your phone. I love the idea that it gets people outside, but they'll be walking into traffic and off cliffs soon. I'd wait for the next version...

Just ordered a couple of these (in the bottle style). When I searched "LifeStraw" here, the last post of a 10 year old thread asked about them. Any input ? Seem pretty safe for relatively clean water, like out of a trail side river. http://lifestraw.com/...

We encountered a very aggressive one, protecting "his" section of trail in the Tetons, doing an out and back of Disappointment. We finally got past him okay by blocking his advance with our poles, like a fence. Then we knew we'd need to defend ourselves again on the way back down.Which we did...

Agree. I should have been a Grant Application Writer. I'm sure they make great money

Doug, do you remember using the OLD/original Moleskin. That stuff NEVER came off until you removed it. Was not the same product in the last 20 or so years.

It's snowing like winter's last gasp right now in Bethlehem. And the temp has dropped. So it'll be some snow over ice crust over mud Saturday.

Anyone else see the magnesium flare or meteor over 93 in Campton tonight ? about 8:47pm.

I've a similar ski set-up and have done a lot of winter hiking/mountaineering in double plastic koflachs. Try the koflachs again with both the inners and outers laced as loose as possible. They'll feel like heavy, warm slippers.

Can't find them now, but Tom and Laurie Rankin posted or "liked" pics recently from a Catskills hike. Theirs look exactly like those in the Wikipedia link.

Great report and pics ! Thanks for sharing !

Very sad. I think I only met him and MtnMaMa once at a gathering. I used to PM her and Marc H. on our shared Birthdays. It's a great loss to MA, NH, the local SAR and Hiking community. Horrible tragedy for his wife.

Beautiful ! 4 Thumbs Up ! We've been meaning to get out there. Now it's a "must". Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations. Thanks for posting. Great pics and I'm sure you have many more.

There's a large nest in the power line tower at the crest of the hill by the trailer camp on 302/10 between Woodsville and Bath. Again right next to the road.

In that area we generally take people to Bald Mtn and Artists Bluff, Echo Lake and The Basin. I think Echo Lake costs $4. The Gorge should be seen too, though.

Congratulations. I appreciate your perseverance.
