Any updates on the legal status of this sandpit? hopefully it is closed to the public,so kids can not go up there and party it up and trash the area.[please no more negative email on this topic/related topic.thanks!]

Some updates on what a hermit carries[or steals].Bro was loaded! http://www.necn.com/04/21/13/Affidavit-Maine-hermits-bag-full-of-food/landing.html?&apID=6c60880911b445a9b4b5076642d36dd0

the birches in shelbourne/gorham is great[call first].very cheap and showers!A quiet trailhead might work,if you pull in late and do not mind a possible visit from the local cops[only to sleep a little and start hiking early].Once summer comes along I would not try it.If you go hike in maine...

I realize now my statement was vague and misleading,my apologies.I use old school cramps that use straps.They fit so well for me, I have felt no need to upgrade.A few years ago the straps started to go in the back so I just use boot laces with the left over straps in the front.Very snug and...

Nice job John and Pepper!I had the fortune of meeting both of you on the north twin trail a few years back.thanks for the gentle suggestion that day to not go for the summit due to lateness in the day[I took your advice]...keep it up!Does pepper need a sponser for vftt?:) personal note;my cat...

I still use old school cramps.tie them on with a extra bootlace and go for it!they usually fall off towards the end of the hike if I run down the mountain.what are you going to do?Get some new step in ones?

Very cool...Nice you got friends into that..I started to get into the track thing the last couple of years and its tough.Wonder if there is any lectures[free hopefully]around here for that sort of thing.

that makes sense.my first thought was it was two tracks.maybe others got pics of tracks they could post!dig this thread!

here are some more lynx tracks...

Hi Kevin,Judy and Emma....The tracks at the bottom of your first two pics. have five front digits which seems to rule out Canids and cats.If I could guess several animals, I would go....marten,weasel,mink,fisher,otter and raccoon.[maybe a very small bear?] Totally dig these tracks threads...

Congrats to both of you for a job well done.Nice job keeping calm talking to the man.I would have mouthed off once they started grilling me about everything.I do not mind local cops or fish and game,but would have had a problem with border patrols line of questioning.I imagine they have a job to...

Once in a while one gets by:)Now coyotes are another story. Nice link.. thanks sardog.Lots of people i know love that trail,but for me its to crowded if it has even one person.Funny how that trail is paved.Seems like the black bear population is slowly heading southwards. Nice pics Tim.Very...

Would love to see a bear where I live...I got bird feeders up all year,never a sign of them.I have seen them in the northwood n.h area,but not here in Londonderry/derry area[chester must have them].Beavers are my concern,keeping a mama beaver happy and poacher free to raise her kids in my local...

Bravo.Bravo!Very nice stuff here....I was brought up by that 60's hiking generation.My dad was a amc huts dude in the early 60's and still can not believe when I tell him how many people hike these days and how the trails are usually broken out on the weekends.He has never climbed the hancocks...

Congrats Mirabela.have enjoyed your posts here for a while now.Great peak to finish on also.Hope you can get the tent out tonight for one final run....

Congrats that is great Kevin...keep a rocking.....

tr. cond;old speck trail had some postholes,but was mostly smooth to eyebrow junction.After junction trail was filling in from tree snow dropping like crazy.The closer to summit trail was trickier with some rambling at places.Lots of snow made upper steeps much more pleasant on the "would not...

trail conditions;see steve r's report for waumbek.Kilkenney ridge trail to south weeks was a straightforward snowshoe straight along the Waumbek ridge heading east.Dropping into the col between south weeks and waumbek's eastern ridge the k.r.t. was a free for all with bombadil's tracks being the...

Funny!sort of,if you like snow..Told some folks in Manchester we had close to a foot 20 minutes south of the city,they thought I was joking.Lots of people were happy they got the day off yesterday in mass.Just saw one amount of close to 30 inches in mass!!thats a shalacking/pasting....

amazing kid.very happy for him and family....since he was found on the c.v.r and was b.c. skiing thought it was relevant to the forum http://abcnews.go.com/News/missing-teenage-skier-found-alive-maine/story?id=18656401 congrats to snowmobiler who found him..
