Driver, Corona makes a nice folding saw, I got a 10 inch. I also have a 13" fixed blade. Whatever you get, go with a curved blade for faster cutting. www.coronatools.com

Good for you! I just enjoyed a night out about a month ago at Knoll tentsite during a 3 day/2 night loop, which I think is within your section? Nice trail through there.

What am I even ranking here? Dumb poll. How's that for honesty?

Beautiful pictures, tomcat.

You could attempt to obtain a permit to do so. :p

Nothing here in Campton.

Not exactly. You will lose elevation going there, but the shelter is above the worst of the steeps.

Worth their weight in gold when breaking trail up the steeps!

Just got up Baldpate recently myself (my first visit,) what a fantastic peak. And I agree, the MATC really outdid themselves with the rock-work up West Baldpate above the shelter. Had to have been a ton of manhours invested there.

I never keep more than a hike or two in the camera without transferring to PC, so I'm with you.

Quite the journey, eh? Thanks for taking me back with the report and pics, congrats on the finish. I hiked it SoBo in '10 during the same time of year. I also dealt with pretty brutal blisters on my toes after the 2nd day so I can relate to that pain-in-the-ass. (foot? :)) I was able to keep...

Also use G-10s with a pair of Salomons (I forget the model, but they're soft.) Good idea to carry an extra bar on you in case you snap one.

If someone were to try and tell me my ascent of Jackson didn't "count" because it was put at the end of a Presie traverse, I'd tell them where to go! :D

WMNF advising against being out from Sunday evening through Wednesday. I sure hope it doesn't undo any post Irene efforts. Praying for minimal rain/wind... http://www.fs.usda.gov/whitemountain

No expert here, but I'm not aware of any projects being built there at the moment. But, there are two Maine windfarms which are operating in that general area. Record Hill (Roxbury) and Spruce Mountain (Woodstock) Spruce Mountain has 10 turbines and around 28-30 miles due east of Gorham.

Speaking of downed limbs.... Has this widowmaker over 113 come down? I was nervous to drive under it! I imagine is has, since this pic was taken back in July in Evan's. Hopefully not with a car underneath!

It appears that is true, sardog. Now it looks like you just have to fill out some extra paperwork to travel solo. "Why do you want to camp/climb alone?" :p

As far as the Northern Peaks trail goes, there was a brand new trail sign on Hamlin Peak when I was there on 10/7. 6.4mi to Russell Pond. Met a kid on trailcrew on Hamlin that had been working on it. He made it sound like it's already open, although maybe not officially.

The scene was fantastic in Baxter State Park on Monday. Winter on the summits, fall in the valleys. The hike up the deteriorated N. Brother spur was "interesting" after the wet weather and snow.

Totally free unless going over 1 GB of file space, then a monthly fee is charged. Correct? I too am fed up with the new Webshots layout, and am looking at Picasa. I have way over 1 GB of photos to put online (12,000+.) If I want to continue sharing all my photos, I think I have to sign up for...
