Thank you Finnski! And your 1st post at that! Nope, I'm having everything done at New England Heart Institute at CMC in Manchester. From what I've been able to gather, they are the best in the area. I know that CMC has a satellite office at Monadnock, but if something goes south, I want to be...

So I had the stress test and nuclear imaging done, and I have one partial blockage. Went back and forth with the cardiologist and decided that since imaging doesn't show all potential blockages, we will go ahead with the cardiac catheterization and if there is only one blockage, he will insert...

Great info here. 10 years ago my father had 6 bypasses done at the same time and he is still doing good at 86. I never realized that genetic predisposition is such a large factor. Thanks for all of the information. My stress test is scheduled for the 24th. Hoping that a stent or 2 will fix...

This thread was prompted by reading of the passing of member Paradox. I only wish that I could inspire as many hikers as he did. I hiked Skatutakee in NH last weekend and felt out of sorts. Had to stop a lot and catch my breath. Never happened to me before. Took a few walks earlier this...

The small lot for the East Royce Trail in Evan's notch was full yesterday, never seen that happen before!

Ok, I'll simplify. I don't trust Les with $28 million, and the layout for the resort is lacking any serious vert that would entice skiers to drive 1 1/2 hours north of 93 or 1 hour past SR on 2 lane twisty roads in winter. Gee, why wont a bank lend him the money unless the state guarantees...

As a NH taxpayer, I welcome this decision. The proposed resort is a bunch of 900-1200 vertical trail pods, unless I am missing something. Lots of acres, but not so much continuous vert. SR is similar, but has pods with 1,500 plus vert. I welcome Les to prove me wrong, but this was a pie in...

Temple Mountain NH lot had 5 cars today when I arrived. Is this because everyone is focusing on the 4k's instead of closer hikes? The views were limited, but watched a porci groom itself a few feet from the trail. Also, the blue bottle gentian's were quite prolific along the trails.

I agree, saw these shroms below that I have never seen before, yes they are that red!! The road pic is from a mile south of 137 in Hancock on Middle Road.

It's been a long time since I posted a trip report, but due to the recent flooding in the Dublin NH area, I wanted to give an update. The Pumpelly trail is completely passable, but is very wet with water in places that are usually very dry. Not surprising considering the recent rainfall...

EMS Velocity ! Tent I love mine!

big needle and old style dental floss, not the ribbon stuff. Old EMS pack is still going strong 10+ years after the repair.

Did local hikes (P'boro) yesterday and today and there is 6"+/- around here.

I find that Merrill Moabs have given me the best traction. I have yet to try the Moab2, but the sole appears to be very similar.

Be aware the that the dirt road approach from the north is was a little bit rough. I didn't do Speckled as my time was limited, but I really want to return. Here is a pic of Speckled from Bald.

It is in Woodstock, here is a link. http://www.franklinsites.com/hikephotos/Maine/baldmtn3-2016-0703.php I did this a couple of years ago, nice hike. Nearby Speckled Mtn has cliffs near the summit, I have pics that I will try to locate.

Thanks for the detailed info peakbagger, I met all of the criteria, as I had to increase my estimated attachment time to 36+ hours, so I got and took the 200 mg of Doxy ealier today. The spot of the bite is about a quarter sized raised red angry lump.

I have lived in SW NH for almost 40 yrs and tonight was the 1st time that I've had a dear tick embedded on me. 3 other ticks so far this year were dog ticks, and were catch as they were still crawling. I'm sure that this one latched on in the last 24-30 hours, so I should be ok according to the...

Wow, how did I miss this? I live 4 miles from the Peterborough (former) headquarters store and I hadn't heard about this. So sad to see another outdoors retailer about to go under. Most of my gear has an EMS label on it, and I will really be sad if this comes to pass.

Thanks, I was going to post on this last night but you have now echoed my thoughts so it is unnecessary. As much as the north country really needs this, I can't see that it is feasible in any way.
