Cool, is Woodsville where the guide book warns of a tricky whirlpool? I remember Paradox and I hit a pretty nice section just before our takeout for a resupply, going by part of the river with high granite walls and I think a pedestrian bridge spanning the river and an interesting whirlpool of...

It was there the last time I was there... probably about 2 winters ago. The cabin and wood stove was still there. From reading the log book, it sounds like it has a persistent mouse problem, but not really too unexpected. First come first serve... Jay

Yes, the portage is on the river left so it would be the NH side... Camping is very nice on the upper section of the CT. We stashed firewood on the first campsite on the way up to Littleton so we had a fire the first night and we had some good nights in pretty spots. Not a lot of thru...

Yeah, we launched up by Littleton and paddled for a bunch of days to Windsor, VT. Unfortunately, Paradox had some back issues and had to abandon around Bradford, so I continued on solo for another like two days to Windsor, VT. I hope to finish off the 60odd miles I have to the MA border next...

http://www.h2oline.com/TRC.asp hopefully you can put in below the dam, though I suspect not. I think the portage for that dam is a longish 400ft drop or so on a grassy hill with a set of concrete stairs to descend and then like a 250dt bushwack through possibly high brush... Jay

Paradox and I started a short bit above the Comerford Dam two summer's ago. I don't recall that section being that problematic but it certainly was probably a different water situation which can change daily. I remember the current being decently strong that I was simply floating but nothing...

From: Hopper Road Trailhead To: Greylock Summit Via: March Cataract Falls to Hopper Slide to Overlook trail to Hopper trail/AT to summit. Road is now officially open since 5/17 and trails/roads are clear of ice and snow and trees (for the road part). Bascom Lodge is still closed and as far as...

So, did he get a ticket for cutting live trees branches?? Jay

Cool, the driver didn't slow down cause it had NY plates :D Jay

Soooo, did you see any snow on Frissell, Brace? Word from a friend of mine there is still snow at elevation on the autoroad on Greylock...... Usually the road is an awesome place to bike after the snow/ice melt and before the gates open... Jay

Wow, I was at Bash Bish falls and hiked the South Taconic Trail north to Prospect hill today (4/12/14) and no signs of snow.. However, those three peaks are slightly higher but not terribly far away either... I didn't see any signs of snow at all, just a spot of ice off the cedar brook trail on...

http://www.cloudsplitteroutfitters.com/Olbert/Welcome.html they have a few cabins and rooms to rent.. and they are right in Newcomb which has a small grocery store and a bar. You'll find more dining out facilities in Shroon Lake or Long Lake but if you want to be close to Upper Works, newcomb...

well, for what it sounds like you're using, the AL crampons isn't that much an issue. I use my NLs as my primary snow shoe they've done the 46W, the 3500W, all the peaks in Baxter in winter and I've only broken one of them once. It sounds like if you need the occasionaly snowshoe, the AL...

I've had an old pair of Northern Lite Elite 25s... they must be about 7-8 years old now and I beat the snot out of them all over the northeast. I have gone through 1 pair of front crampons after I broke one and replaced all those rivets in them with bolts and nylok nuts. A few of my fasteners...

Date: 3/15/2014 From: Escarpment Trailhead on Rt 23 Route: Escarpment trail to WHP and back route is pretty much solid in terms of snowpack and ice. microspikes used up and back. Trailhead parking is plowed and free of snow (but not mud!). Didn't see any fresh tracks coming from Burnt Knob at...

It would be a good hike for pre-3500 club weekend cause it's not far from Kingston... :-) Jay

Maybe try to find a local airport forecast since the cloud ceiling is probably fairly important for civilian aviators.... some small airports might have that info as a forecast on a website or so.. Jay

Hike: Hadley Mtn Firetower Route: out and back from Tower Road in Hadley, NY 1.8 mileish trail is well packed down in pretty much everywhere, microspikes were worn up and down just to make things a bit easiler. Tower road is well plowed and the parking area was well maintained. The firetower...

My friend had one on my Great Divide MTB ride last year and it worked well for him. Much like a boat, we're mostly out in the open, in that there is usually a view of the sun if it is shining and in camp, generally enough to get a charge out of it (again if there is sun). His has enough juice to...

I double the sentiment that many vets do make house calls now.. my vet has a cat only hospital but she makes house calls for cats or dogs.. (I have three cats)... Jay
