    Big news about Moosilauke Ravine Lodge...

    It can certainly be argued that each generation should build (or rebuild) in the idiom of its age. The Swiss Alpine Club is faced with the same problem of aging huts, and is rebuilding them in an unabashedly 21st century style. The best example (some of you may call it the worst ;)) is the...

    list of NH hikes by elevation gain?

    ;) Thanks for the plug, Tim!! I have the spreadsheet from which this table was derived, and of course it can be sorted by any column, including elevation gain (the web page is sorted by book time). It is currently in Open Data Format (.ods) but I can probably make it available (should anyone...

    Osteoarthritis of hip -- when is surgery recommended?

    Many thanks for the replies! That is precisely what I want to avoid ;) Given my age (76) the usable life of the joint is likely to be much longer than my usable life :eek: So the sooner the better. Stan, can I take your tequila therapy even if I do have surgery ;) Right now I am taking...

    What camera(s) are you using to photograph wild flowers?

    Over the years I have been curious about what camera setups were used for the spectacular wild flowers in the annual spring wildflower thread. This year I decided to ask!! Please tell us about the camera, lenses (if applicable), filters and tripod or lack thereof you usually use. If you use a...

    Cumulative Elevation gain for Wapack

    For me reliable is someone who has counted the contour lines on a map. Knowing both editors of the Southern New Hampshire Trail Guide I would consider their numbers authoritative: 4,850 feet from MA 119 to Old Mountain Road.

    Taxi service in the Whites

    Slight typo ... two letters transposed, correct link is Trail Angels Hiker Services. The possibility of a typo is why I always preview my posts and test every link (except, of course, when I don't ;)).
