    Best restaurant for post-hike dinner in Whites

    My niece wants to eat Chinese food and for various reasons that must be in Lincoln/Woodstock. Though I live in the area I have never eaten at either Chieng Garden or Imperial Palace Restaurant ... is either meaningfully better than the other? Many thanks.

    GPS Coordinate Sources

    Just ask. So many people record tracks and are willing to share them that you are almost guaranteed to get one. How honest it is to use someone else's track on a bushwhack is an issue for others to debate :)

    Snow Totals Thus Far?

    In Thornton at 700' it was a pure rain event.

    Help with Trail Maps for GPS

    Definitely and emphatically agree. Transparent maps are a wonderful and apparently not widely known component of the Garmin maps. I suspect that their NH coverage comes basically from the WMNF data, though over the last year or so several hikers have contributed many tracks south of the WMNF...

    White Thanksgiving

    Spent half an hour tromping in the local woods ... heavy snow that will pack beautifully as soon as two or three pairs of snowshoes have gone over it.

    GPX for Pres Traverse

    Many yeras ago the NH Chapter of the AMC advertised a "Vice-Presidential Traverse", promoted tongue in cheek as detox for peakbagging addicts. I am pretty sure that the leader was someone I knew, but cannot recall who ... effect of age on memory :(

    Oak Hill, Concord area

    To answer my question first, it certainly looks like the original route of the trail as described in the first edition of the Southern New Hampshire Trail Guide. I have hiked that trail several times, as when I hike Oak Hill on my Thornton to Brookline commutes I usually do a loop, up the old...

    Snowmobile bridge near Skookumchuck Trail

    At 0.6 miles the Skookumchuck Trail crosses a small brook (Jordan Brook, I believe) that can be intimidating during snow melt (I once turned around in the spring, unable to find a suitable crossing). A friend told me that she had seen (and used) a bridge near the trail last spring. A bridge...

    Bike Path At Skoocumchuk Trailhead

    There is one big problem with the bike path going from Skook trailhead to tramway parking: it drops about 200 feet to pass below I 93 and regains them rather steeply ... most unwelcome after a big hike. At the big Governor Galen parking lot (immediately after the Lafayette Bridge) the bike path...
