ok, so if you continue on the road instead of turning right and following the LT south, you come to a building for the TV station. The road goes around it and further up. Around the other side of the building, about halfway to the top is a sign that says the area beyond has RF radiation that...

As promised on Saturday, video of the flag, set to the national anthem. It could have been a little windier, but it gets up there a little bit at the end.

Okemo (Healdville Trail) is 3 miles each way and nothing on it is difficult or tricky at all. It's pretty mellow. The lower part is an old woods road and is pretty smooth.

East Baldpate (8/23/08) #100 in New England Baldpate. I'd been here before. On November 12, 2005 to be exact. Amicus, Alpinista, AMSTony and I made an attempt on that day. Stymied by an abundance of fresh blowdowns, deep snowdrifts in the col, and ice on the ledges of East Baldpate, all...

nice work MichaelJ. You seem to be just ahead of me again.

I've seen the picture of that, and still can't believe they did that. 3 years ago, I almost went thru the bridge, and I was on foot.

Not only what she said, but also this. The old uploader application they had was hands-down the best. The new one doesn't work at all. Their old web-browser uploader was ok, the new one is frustrating to use. Avoid Phanfare. Smugmug has it's quirks too, but there seems to be a large...

what Glenn and Marty said. I will add that the Maine 4k's aren't really longer than any of the Whites. I day-hiked all of them and find them pretty comparable to the average NH4K with the exception that Katahdin is like the Northern Presis. The hardest part is getting to and/or finding the...

Pictures 'Twas a good time, and now I am far more acquainted with the system of logging roads in that area than I ever wanted to be.

so that would mean the Adams Family should really be the Jeffersons! JQ Adams should be George and Sam Adams should be Weezie. Adams 4 and 5 would be Jefferson 4 and 5, or maybe Lionel and Florence. on a related subject, how/when/why did North Lincoln become Truman? And does the Chicago...

It is such a seemingly insignificant little lump of land next to a narrow part of Lake Champlain, standing a mere 306 feet above sea level. Hardly a mountain at all. However, its small stature and unassuming nature belies its great importance in the struggle for American Independence. Fort...

Kedron Flume is probably a little steeper, but not really that much harder, I don't think. I like it better because of the Flume itself. The really steep stuff is past the junction, so it doesn't matter which trail you take. The ladders are cool, too, it's like climbing into the Ewok...

how could you leave out the mighty Hooksett Pinnacle? Certainly not as lofty as any you cite, but you can avoid 13 and any controversy with Ossippee.

So the court has spoken. The next step is for someone to get elected to either house of Congress and change the law. And find a better way to fund Parks and Forests. [I hope this didn't cross the no politics threshold, if so, I'm sorry] After all people complain about this from time to time...

Aha, so that was you that I saw spotting a car at the Lambert Ridge parking lot on Saturday! I was going to walk over and say hi, but I looked down for a second and you disappeared.

All this carbon footprint talk has got me to wondering. I hear a lot about gas to drive to and from the trailhead. But what about all this fancy gear that people brag about buying with their REI dividend? I don't believe that stoves and sleeping bags and tents and softshell pants, etc. grow...

You can still follow parts of the Crown Point Military Road as well. In parts of Cavendish and Weathersfield there are roadside stone markers marking part of the route. Some of it goes off into the woods, while some of it has been incorporated into the town roads. There are some old...

The worst part is: that wasn't my first day. Nor my last time faceplanting. Down goes Frazier!

It wasn't that bad Brian, just a typical Vermont road in mud season. It wasn't even that rutted yet. :) You forgot to mention about the brook crossing in question. Should we leave everyone in suspense? :D

ok, so the first 4 sentences were true. I'd like to thank the person I "borrowed" a few of those photos from. I'll protect her anonymity since she's a respected member of the community. If she wants to take credit that's up to her. This is two years in a row that I've managed to fool a few...
