#5 is the ladder on the Webster Cliff trail between the summit of Pierce and Mitzpah Springs Hut. pretty sure I know #1, 3, and 9. 7 and 8 both look very familar too.

I've heard rumors of a locomotive lurking somewhere in the depths of the Pemi Wilderness. But no one really will say whether it exists or not. I guess it's one of those secrets, like the 3k list. Well, it has been the object of my curiousity for some time now. Instead of just blindly...

2a = Saco Lake 2b = Mt Avalon I'm pretty sure I know #3 and #5 and maybe #10, but I'll have to wait til tomorrow.

Yes. At absolute zero (~ -459 F) it will not snow. Or anything else for that matter. For a more serious answer, click here. basically its a function of how much moisture the air can hold. The colder it is, usually the drier it is. So those oldtimers really should have said, "Ayup, too dry...

after reading that list, I'm surprised that you don't need a note from your cardiologist to gain admission to the park.

MichaelJ's GPS is already like that. :P

damn, I was 20 minutes too late. #4 was easy. so I guess I have to pick another one. #1 is Monadnock. #8 is easy too, but I'll have to wait.

oh, I find it highly amusing just like everyone else. Especially thinking of 10 people, jaws agape with puzzled looks, surrounding Carole while she shows off her snowshoes. Perhaps not exactly the way it went down, but it paints an entertaining picture. She probably deserves a commission...

Wait a minute. So you're telling me that there might be someone out there that is ignorant about winter outdoor sports? No way, really? Not everyone grows up with this stuff. How will they ever know about it, unless someone knowledgeable explains it? Hopefully those of us in the know, are...

While that's true, this is a hiking website not a going-to-the-grocery-store website. That's why it strikes such a nerve. Besides if you really want to parse murder statistics, you're probably more likely to get killed by a family member than a random stranger, does that mean stay away from...

Yeah, I got that email too. Sounds like they're changing the way the sharing works. Making anyone who wants to look have to register is a really bad idea IMO. I've asked them about keeping public access and am waiting to hear what they say. Maybe if enough of us users complain and/or...

Well, there used to be a sign. Maybe they didn't see it.

I hear a lot of bad things from people about this trail. I usually remember, and remember well the ones I didn't like (Cornice anyone?). But honestly, I don't remember much at all about this trail. I hiked it in both 2003 and 2004 and I doubt it's changed much since then. I hiked the Mt...

Not a great picture day, but no complaints other than that. Amazing how much less snow there was in that area compared to some that we drove by. I'm sure we would have made it too, if it hadn't been for that meddling upslope. :p

Tony's been trying to get me to go. I'm supposed to be getting up early to hike with McRat the next day, but since he's going to this, then I guess I can too. Google says it's 20 minutes from work. I bet it takes longer.

I helped carry someone (who posts here, but I won't name names) out from the Mt Morgan trail last year. Good thing it was only a half-mile or so. Oh, yeah, and that he wasn't hurt that bad, too. :p :p Years ago, I gave a sweatshirt to a fallen hiker on the side of the trail to help keep...

I hope you're kidding and didn't let these guys didn't scare you away. Yes, hunting accidents happen but they aren't that common. If you take the precautions mentioned you should be fine. If you worry about everything that could go wrong, you'll never do anything. Someone died when a log...

looks like he's had a nose job and maybe a little botox.

nah, the one near 16 is worse.
