Peakbagger thank you for your wise comments.Iagree thanks for the legwork on getting the info.The whole of issue of legal wrangling is as old as n.h. herself.I manage a very small private wetlands area in southern nh in which the town has a legal right to get into to fix issues with pond...

Now you just need to whittle the number down to 10,16 is still a mob rampage imho and not within the "rules".The members of your hike might have a better time with a smaller group.Also you should watch who you get with that whip of yours.You could be opening yourself up to litigation :D...

Having grown up with the seabrook plant here in nh,I was exposed to both sides of the debate.Correct me if wrong but was there not some issue of contaminated runoff water being flushed into the coastal waters when the plant first opened?Nuclear power seems to be dirty also imho along with the...

Slide on north percy.Pic is from june 2009.I kind of remember thinking the slide would be nasty if wet.

Very normal for people to be packing up north.Just a little historic continuity really.Surprised how many people do not open carry in our beloved streets of nh.Now quartz person,thats weird:D.[personally I do not carry.its not for me but live and let live].In general as I get older I tend to let...

Nothing like a quick jaunt up k2.....Or Annapurna for that matter.My money is on some young sherpa with plenty of fire and young legs.Wonder if this "event" will push climbers to be creative in some of their routes to summit quickly and get down and on to the next 8,ooo peak.

Latest update; http://www.onlinesentinel.com/news/Maine-wardens-claim-progress-in-search-for-missing-hiker.html

At a fat gutted 185-190,I am not afraid of coyotes in this part of the country.I did put my comment in question form also.With such a utter loss of clues to this poor hikers whereabouts,I was just theorizing.I am not ready to throw out any other theories yet,as to keep faith she maybe found...

Search groups looking for lost hiker http://www.onlinesentinel.com/news/Over-rugged-terrain-a-mystifying-hunt-for-missing-hiker.html this situation is very odd.hope they find her and she is ok.maybe she got off trail in a downpour?

Very good point! I believe you brought this up before also when discussing the taking out of the old bridge.After this weekend this crossing is going to be a bummer...Maybe time to start a raft business for river crossings :D note;one can drown in as little as one foot of running water.Be very...

Elephant seals off of Big sur,Bald eagle in the Kilkenney,lots of spruce grouse.My favorite is a pair of Ospreys which I see towards the end of winter every few years.For a long time I thought they were just white hawks and then after some research realized we really do not have white hawks in...

Redington 7/15/13. trails; took the usual logging roads and herd paths from the c.v.r.Parked almost to the a.t. crossing and hiked 3 miles to fork.Take right for 3/4 mile follow cairns right at clearing.Nice arrows on ground made from sticks helped the rest of the way.Third time up for me in...

Glad kids are ok.Gotta love all the towns with the same name in nh and mass,it gets tricky.Got a laugh from your post because I used to get lost in Brookline mass[boston],all the time[late 90's].Usually just trying to turn around and get back to kenmore square and the old rathskeller[punk rock...

Recently bro! Ask Tom rankin.:D

Looks like the system is going to track right over Boston and the Cape.Tough for folks that have planned vacations this weekend ... Thanks for posting this Sardog,very critical info for the camping crowd....Lots of peaks might be tougher to get to if it pours real bad.Osceolas come to mind as a...

Ditto peakbagger's point about two hikes.However rapid stream might be very tough to cross after friday and saturdays projected rains.So maybe do sugarloaf and spaulding first.Going up the ski trails and over to spaulding might be the easiest way to do these two peaks.The bushwack from caribou...

Maddy,imho it may not be a question of "balking at paying a fee" for some,but more of a question of not having the funds to pay!I feel "entitled"to nothing from nobody in general.In particular if I get lost I expect nada.I would hope someone who knows me would help start trying to locate me...

Good luck in Georgia!Have enjoyed you and lauky's reports over the last few years.Georgia is a very special place to me,having lived close by[tallahassee,7 years] and spent time in the state and traveling through.People are very pleasant and chill down there,enjoy it....peace and safe travels.
