Reminds me of my youth when I brought home a mantis egg case that I had found. My mother put it in a mason jar with aluminum foil for a lid with small air holes poked into it. Well, apparently the holes weren't small enough as one morning we were presented with well over 100 little mantis...

I saw This Report today and wanted to add it to this thread. It would seem that fracking wastewater may be contaminated with radium. I was also disturbed by this statement: Levels of salinity in the plant's discharge were up to 200 times higher than what is allowed under the Clean Water Act —...

The loop trail has 2 steep sections above and below the great ledges, but I believe that the "cliffs" in his report are off of the main trail. I do remember when ascending the very steep section above the great ledges, I looked to the right of the trail and saw climbers ascending with ropes...

post #7 in THIS THREAD lists it as closed, I couldn't find any other info.

In addition to the snow, its also 24 degrees with 65 mph winds. Crag camp might be chilly on a day like today, but you'd be out of the wind!

I've only used Ebay and Craigslist, never had problems with either. But I'm in southern NH, and Craigslist is probably more iffy in more urban areas.

Technically, in the Mount Washington State forest, you are only supposed to camp at the cabin, the dispersed camping sites about a mile down the Alander Mtn. Trail, or the camping sites on the AT. I will say that I did stealth camp way off the Ashley Hill trail one time. ;) HERE is an older...

You didn't need the ***WARNINGS at the start of your wonderful report!! My children who used to hike with me are all in their 20's(all 5) and most of my hikes are solo now, like Monadnock today. Your report reminded me that whether our children are 9 months or 20 years, we should make every...

Here is a copy of the AMC White Mountain Guide book that is still very accurate with all of the maps for less than $13. or the most recent edition can be had for $21.62 from Barns & Noble. Opps, I just noticed TJsname's link to amazon.

This trail is one of my favorites! Did you visit Bald Peak? It also has great views.

The newspapers today are reporting that the ride down did cost each "hiker" $3,100. Hope it was worth it!

And after looking at some if his pictures, he did eat berries along the way. Made me smile!

Very nice!! Thanks for sharing, the ice caves are the coolest place in the Whites in August!

Here is the corrected link https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=f518aef415074e03379f5ac58b8fe09c&tab=core&_cview=1 There is lots of good info in the Lincoln Woods Plans PDF, they're not just fixing the washed out areas! Thanks for the link!

Now that's just crazy! Walk past nice ripe berries that you can't eat because it's against the rules? I understand that it's a self imposed rule, but it's still crazy! What about any black files that you happen to swallow? :eek:

It gets a little worse every year, I didn't notice any major differences from last year. The biggest problem is the heard paths that are developing around the rougher spots, and when they also get eroded it will be a much bigger mess. I stayed on the trail proper and had no issues. There was...

I visited the cave on Saturday, and there must have been 10-15 teenagers sliding down cliffs and whacking through the trees trying to find it. Saturday was also hot and very sticky. I carried 1.75L of water on my Pumpelly trip and it was gone before I finished. But the blueberries helped...

HERE is a recent thread with some input on the subject of insoles

HERE is a link with some good pictures of Step Falls

I don't know that you can set it from the road, but Step Falls is located just south of the state park boundry, and it is well worth the 1/2-3/4 mile walk to it. Are the falls you are refering to in the actual notch area?
