    GPS, Maps, and cameras ILLEGAL

    Why are the sandpit guys bad?Because they ruined some "rich" kids view?Just a little confused here....I thought people who fly planes around all day are "rich" kids?The opposition to the northern pass seems to indicate not all rich kids control their reps in Concord.....And why all the energy...

    Abraham (Maine) Attempt

    Last time I was up there,I heard the approach via snowmobile trails from the south[Madrid]was also washed out from Irene.The only sure approach is from the a.t. from sugarloaf.The bushwack from Caribou pond is doable if you like lots of snow,I spent a hour getting maybe half a mile there last...
