http://www.na.fs.fed.us/legacy/legacy_places/nh/pdfs/nh_ossipee_s.pdf Like this? Honestly, I'm not a conspiracy theorist or anything. I'm pretty level-headed and I'm generally wary of any "conspiracy". I don't think this is a conspiracy though, as someone hinted at earlier. This is straight...

2) The connector trail is pretty obvious, it's fairly new or there was some work done recently. It doesn't show on acme mapper. The last time I went I parked at the Percival lot and then it's a left pretty soon out of the lot to connect over to Mt Morgan trail. The map on this page shows it...

I checked out the CCAC website and it looks like the members of the committee are people from the mint, etc. They make the direct recommendation to the Secretary of Treasury who then presents the bill to congress, etc. It sounds like that once the final "recommendation" is made that as long as...

In the article it says the design that they are "recommending" is #2, under the "results of the votes" section. Some of the others didn't pass: "Editor's Note: On February 28, 2012, the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee will review a new set of design candidates for the Perry's Victory and...

If I had just woken up from a 6 month nap and was trying to get a snack and a guy tried to chase me away, I'd give him hell too! I'm with the bears on this one. :D

Not going to lie, I would be super excited if the prayer flags were a permanent fixture. Nice TR! Looks more like winter up there now than it did on Jefferson a few weeks ago!

Well that's not exactly a glowing review. :p

I think the answer would be very close to the reason you were up on Wildcat E the same day. ;) Probably had something to do with the fact that he thought the area is the most spectacular place in the world, considering the amount of travel and trekking he'd done, that statement carries quite a...

Bought this book last night after reading this thread. Read 31% (according to my Kindle page) before I went to bed at 1am. It's a great book. Apparently Cheryl Strayed has a popular column as well: http://therumpus.net/sections/dear-sugar/

http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2012/04/05/adventurer-priebatsch-dies-fall-during-hike/w7xqgv7wvwgSoRwXHPZOMP/story.html Here is the publicly available excerpt. At least he died in what he considered to be the most spectacular place on earth. I hope when I go someone can say the same about me.

You are most likely right. Found this link to an interactive map of the north ridge route taken by Kaltenbrunner on the Nat Geo website: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2012/04/k2/interactive-map edit: Speaking of Nat Geo, has anyone used their trail map app or national park app? Worth the...

Wasn't there a woman from the August 08 incident that topped out without O2? I seem to recall reading that in Ed Veisturs book on K2. I could be dreaming this up. Might be time to give that book another read.

UL ran a followup to this story again today. http://www.unionleader.com/article/20120404/NEWS07/704049914/-1/news Nothing much new, though.

The advisory doesn't say it's closed, but it does have this big, bold warning: Taking into account the extent of crevasses, the severity of the consequences, and the inability to assess the hazard, the greater Lip area, which includes a section of the summer hiking trail should be avoided...

Weird, I just finished the Joe Caggiano chapter of Not Without Peril approximately... 20 minutes ago. Odd that you would link that page. Good luck and best wishes to the SAR/rescue team, the hiker and their family.

Congrats on completing March. You guys are really in the home stretch now. :)

I'm a little slow posting, nor do I know what kind of flower this is... but our daughters picked these from the woods/boggy area behind our house last weekend (3/25). For size reference, they are next to tulips.

#3 Willey over Ethan Pond? #11 The cascades off the Avalon Trail (names escaping me right now...edit: Beecher?)

When I was there in November of 2010 some of the trails were extremely eroded. Pasture for one that I recall specifically having spots where the mountain would fall away under your feet as you walked over it. I wonder who, if anyone, maintains the trails? If I'm not mistaken most of the land is...

The picture of the cairn with the shadow of the cloud on the undercast behind it is SO amazing! Thank you so much for sharing these, they made my day. What a great day it must have been for you all. :D
