I spent Memorial day weekend camping at Coleman State Park to attempt some of the peaks north of route 26. Many of these peaks are accessible only through poor condition logging roads and with it being so early in the spring season, many of these roads had downed trees, ruts, car eating potholes...

I drove through on Friday afternoon and the state was placing sand bags on the base of each ’cone’ to keep them stable. I always hit the trails early and am usually halfway up a mountain at 8 am when the shuttle starts running. Personally, I’d like a better solution. I’m coming from the south...

Little Puckster and Puckette (the kids, age 10 and 12) and I will be spending 3 nights/4 days camping in Acadia National park this summer. I'm looking for any suggestions, recommendations, and must see items? Thanks in advance -HP

Where did they go? a moose convention? Fly south for the winter? Hibernation? Spotted my first of the year in the upper elevations of Stratford/Columbia yesterday.

How many Garden Spiders did you encounter on Britton Hill? Those things were ginormous scary monsters..

That dude is bada$$. Was his name David Metsky? Link worked for me.

Did you continue to Owl'S cliff? How were conditions?

I hiked the Bretton Woods Ski area attempting Mt. Rosebrook. Hikers welcome and trails were well marked leading to the right of the base lodge. Follow the ATV trail to the summit chair lift. Upon arrival there are several signs deterring hikers from proceeding into an active construction zone...

Include a quota to limit the number of hikers on the mountains with highly overflowing parking lots.

The big white wall!

I was bushwhacking in the York Pond area and noticed quite a few pick up trucks along Bog Dam Rd with blue barrels in the back. According to the NH F&G site Bear season started Sept 1st, archery season is right around the corner. Currently it looks like the hunters are out finding their spots...

I was in Keene Valley over the weekend. The Garden was filled at 6:15 AM. There was overflow parking at the end of the road. Ausable Rd parking in St. Huberts had plenty of room at 6:30 AM. There was plenty of roadside parking at Giant / Rocky peak. Overnight camping at the trailheads...

You're looking at a very long day. I've not hiked them yet but they are on my short list. Have you considered West to Middle to South to East then BW to Cedar Brook before continuing North to bag N Peak. It would save you from retracing your steps and I've heard the woods from Cedar Brook to...

I drove by Haystack rd - FR304 and Gale River Rd on Friday 5/19 - Both are open. I can also confirm that Tripoli rd is open - both sides.

My research shows it's about a 10 mile round trip. Most of the hiking will be on Livermore Rd (FR 86 and FR86A) to between 2300 and 2500 ft elevation then approximately a 1 mile BW. Looks like the best route would be to set a bearing for Carrigan Pond until you hit the ridge. Recent beta shows...

My best guess of the 6 missing state license plates? Hawaii, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, New Mexico

Beta from summer of 2013 it was gated at the at the entrance to Lyman brook. Your info may be more recent than mine. The satellite images look tempting.

How did the change in plans from missing the Bemis turn-off affect your trip planning? Seems like descending back to the Bemis turn would still be significantly shorter in both distance and time than a traverse over Nancy and looping back to Norcross Pond. I'm glad to hear you found an...

Where is the "figure it out by researching a variety of map sources then actually going there myself" button.

Correct. I followed a well worn trail. No signage..
