    1st Edition WMG

    Classic sniping attempt with a few seconds left, but the original bidder had placed a large enough bid to cover it.

    Winter Hiking & Snowshoe Advice

    I'd call the store and explain the situation and see if they'll do anything for you. It's worth a try! A couple of times I've been told to wait on a purchase as it would be on sale the next week.

    Winter Hiking & Snowshoe Advice

    FYI: All snowshoes are 20-30% off at EMS, I'm sure that other retailers are also starting to discount.

    Metal Water Bottle Danger

    I just saw This Report from Today News about kids getting their tongues stuck inside metal water bottles. Not common, but I thought that those with kids should know. :eek:

    Winter Boot Recommendation

    This Previous Thread would probably be a good place to start.

    Windmills getting closer to the Whites - second and third Plymouth-area wind farms

    I'm not against wind power in general, but while this company is not hiding the visual impact of the towers from places like Cardigan, their simulated views show only the towers and not the roads and pads that would also be very visible from elevated areas. Full disclosure is important.

    Caltopo.com - Move over Acmemapper?

    Another thanks! I never liked ACME, but this will replace MSRMaps on my favorites.

    Put this on your reading list! "Bobcats Before Breakfast" by John Kulish

    John Kulish was my high school ecology teacher. He was quite the character to say the least, but he loved the woods. A favorite memory was on a walk behind the school and he bent over to pick up some scat to examine what animal left it and what it had been eating. Then he told everyone in the...

    Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS) has been sold...

    I think that this has gotten much better. Last year, the Peterborough store was out of the shoe size that I needed durring a sale. They let me use the store phone to place an order over the phone, and about 20 minutes later, a wharehouse worker brought the shoes to the front counter. Still...

    Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS) has been sold...

    The link worked for me. Funny, I was just on the EMS web site then I switched to this. I live 5 miles from the main Peterborough store and it will be interesting to see what changes will take place. Most of my gear consists of customer returns and clearance items from the store's "bargain...

    RMC Trail Sign Auction begins December 3, 2012

    I would bet that the Short Line sign will go for the most $, and well above what I could bid. Ebay user "fbe3" has bought quite a few of the RMC and AMC signs in the past and paid $415 for last year's Castle Ravine trail sign, $418 in 2008 for the King Ravine trail sign, and $611 in 2009 for...

    Solo Presi Traverse 11-10-12

    An easy trick to avoid water freezing in a hydration drinking tube is to blow some air back into the tube, just enough to empty the tube after taking each drink. Glad you made it out in one piece!

    Keeping photos on camera

    I was there also. 170MB at 6250 BPI on 2,400 ft of mag tape. Now we put 64GB on a chip smaller than a dime. My back remembers hauling fireproof cases of mag tapes to offsite storage sites.

    Rt. 16 closed?

    The http://www.nh.gov/dot/511/ web site has been corrected to read "Dolly Copp Road is closed for the winter"

    Rt. 16 closed?

    I called the NH Dept of transportation and they are checking into this and will let me know. I drove though the notch on 10/29 and everything was fine. This must be a typo and probably refers to the Pinkham B road. I'll update when I hear back. Edit: Kevin was quicker than I was.

    Maine - Tumbledown and Little Jackson - connective trail?

    Can anyone provide an update on accessing Little Jackson from Tumbledown Pond? I understand that there are a lot of herd paths that lead to nowhere. I'm heading up there this weekend. Thanks!
