    Stone churches

    I passed 2 stone churches in downtown Laconia today. Congregational Church of Laconia (didn't get the name of the other one but it's literally across the street). There's also one in Madbury right near the intersection of Madbury Road and 155 on Old Stage Road. Imho it's not the most beautiful...

    Stone churches

    I used to live on Central Street. When I worked at the hardware store, I mixed the paint that went on the walls when they remodeled the Stone Church. That place is special. If you're doing photo-essay on stone churches you cannot miss this one.

    visiting UNH: should I stay in Portsmouth or Dover and should we have a VFTT beer ?

    They both have their charm. Dover is an old mill city, with mill building, Portsmouth is more of a... port with docks and a waterfront, industrial buildings, shipyard, etc. They both have beautiful parks and a very nice downtown area that have plenty independent shops. There are lots of things...

    Heroic rescue on Franconia Ridge - Sept 19, 2012

    Oh yeah, totally. Blazing is definitely a priority. I'm waiting for some ground cover to see where it's easy to lose the trail. Next trip! edit: Thanks for the heads up on the blowdown, Driver8. :)

    Heroic rescue on Franconia Ridge - Sept 19, 2012

    It's AMC. I've been out there a few times this year. I'm glad you like the improvements! The pro AMC crew did a lot of the work too, they put in a few new stepping stones, did some brushing in and repaired/installed a few water bars so I can't take all the credit! The pro crew is also...

    Heroic rescue on Franconia Ridge - Sept 19, 2012

    Nice job to all involved! Sounds like an epic rescue. I wonder though, if FWT is recommended for ascent, does that mean OBP is recommended for descent? I think OBP is far more dangerous for descent, especially the parts on the ridge where the rocks are sharp and the terrain is steep. FWT really...

    Blister Prevention

    I've heard Vaseline works well. I think the products you are talking about though are like "Sportshield" and "Blistershield" which are specifically designed for preventing blisters and chafing. I have no experience with them though. Hope this helps!

    Is There a Name for the Craggy Section of Franconia Ridge S, of Mt. Lincoln's Summit?

    Is There a Name for the Craggy Section of Franconia Ridge S, of Mt. Lincoln's Summit?

    In facebook, if you left click on the picture so that it pops up in the semi "full screen" mode (with the comments on the side), you can then right click the picture and do "Copy Image URL". You can use the URL in the same way as described above. I'm pretty sure this only works if you have the...

    New computer, GPS trouble

    Yeah, as I mentioned disabling UAC will be a security risk. I find it to be incredibly annoying and intrusive and I use my own anti virus software anyway so I have no problem disabling it on my own systems. YMMV. You can get around that individually for each application by using the other steps...
