Owner is now facing charges of animal cruelty. http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/48706502/ns/today-today_pets_and_animals/#.UC7r9d1lRIM

That picture doesn't do the boulder justice. It's the size of a small hotel. :D Good info Dave.

BigEarl recently posted that he and Trailtrotter found it to be quicker via the trails in the summer as opposed to the BP Bushwhack. http://www.vftt.org/forums/showthread.php?45497-An-Unusual-Approach-To-Owl-s-Head-6-23-2012 He (and others) have also found that if you keep a more...

Nice TR. That will be a great reference for anyone going for those peaks. Sounds like you had a fun time.

They carried the injured dog out in a backpack. This sounds strangely familiar... :D Kudos to the rescuers. True heroes. The choice to leave the dog behind to get another hiker out is one that I can accept. Leaving on town for a business trip knowing your dog is stuck on top of a mountain on...

Triclosan, A Chemical Used in Antibacterial Soaps, is Found to Impair Muscle Function Here's a link to the article: http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/science/2012/08/triclosan-a-chemical-used-in-antibacterial-soaps-is-found-to-impair-muscle-function/ And a link directly to the study on rats, in...

I don't think many people are eating this stuff for the nutritional value. :D Quick energy doesn't often equate to a high nutritional content, at least from what I've found. Maybe we're just buying into the marketing and I'm way off, but I think there are a lot of statistics to back it up. They...

I know damselfly cuts hers into bite-sized pieces in the winter to avoid the freezing problem.

Not a big fan of energy bars. Some flavors of power bar are OK. Others are inedible. They are really hit or miss. Same thing with Clif bars. I've tried some other brands and I have decided they intentionally make them taste like cardboard and have a consistency of sand, it seems to be the theme...

Great stuff! I wonder if they come to recognize the dudes in funny hats as allies? The moose didn't seem upset at all with the ranger being so close. Then again, he didn't have much choice other than to swing. :D

I like the photo of Sam Adams lurking behind the ridge. Visiting all 5 of the Adams family sounds like a good way to maximize time above tree line. :)

I saw Amazon's deal of the day today and thought of this thread. If you'd been considering the Panasonic Lumix TS20, they have it on sale (pre-order) for $99. http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/ref=tsm_1_fb_s_amzn_m8e7px

Would now be a good or bad time to do the math on calories burned carrying 1/2lb SPOT device for 180 miles? edit: looks like another point got updated. He's on Passaconaway.

There was only 10 minutes between that last update, north of N. Tripyramid to the one near Flat Mountain Pond. I'm pretty sure it's a false point. He's fast but that's like 3(4+ by trail?) miles in 10 minutes, with up and down between. No updates since then, either. I bet SPOT ran out of batteries.

Owl's Head was fun! And the company was great too! All right up until I smashed my knee on a log. Which ended up putting me out of hiking for almost the whole winter. :( At that point, though, I was thankful the last 6 miles were flat. :D

What's up with the hanging rock???? Was it the other end of a bear bag or really marking the trail there?? Nice TR!

He's moving so fast, Waumbek barely registered. 7:15 at the TH... 8:58 halfway way back down from Starr King...

I can only assume that it wouldn't take a day to get back to the car from Owls Head. Although, after that trip it might seem that long... :p

Wow! Good luck. Your first day itinerary is intense. :eek:
