Female Wood Duck maybe?

I'm considering hiking into the Mahoosucs via the Austin Brook Trail. The most recent WMG states that Mill Brook Rd. can sometimes be used to drive the first 2.1 miles from North Rd. and sometimes it's gated. Does anyone happen to know it's current status?

As far as I know the Tyvek version of the Washburn map has been out of print for several years. If you find that they are again available let me know because I want one too.

14th edition. Page 23.

I recently read a book called Brush Cat by Jack McEnany. It looks at the present-day logging industry in northern New Hampshire. The author lives in Sugar Hill but mentions in the book that he used to live in a cabin on Mt. Cleveland.

2 or 3 years ago the caretaker at Guyot (I think it was Storm) had made several rodent traps. He told me that they were for shrews. Maybe they are a problem at the shelter or maybe he had nothing else to do.

How eastern are you talking? Some of the best hiking in the area is on the Pachaug Trail on the Conn/RI border. Park at Beach Pond and follow the blue blazes north.

You should contact the RMC. They would love someone of your dedication and experience to help out.

It's been a while but wasn't there a metal handle (like a filing cabinet handle) screwed onto a tree on Garfield west?

I was conceived in a cauldron of alcohol, tobacco, and firearms. I'll bring chips :).

At Baxter I once carried a full case of Molson Golden bottles from Trout Brook to the Little East lean-to ( and before the ****** chorus starts I carried the empties out).

I recently heard about a group that brought scuba gear to Lakes of the Clouds.

I stayed at Gray Knob last night. Lowes Path is hard packed from Rt 2 to the summit. I carried crampons and snowshoes but bare-booted the whole hike.

Gonna Freeze-Your-Ass-Off in the Daks this winter?

"I wish Post'r Boy was here."

As Ducttape said, the "shavings" should actually be more like powder. Make a small pile around the size of a quarter or a little less, strike it and poof.

Cragoween was a giggle-fest. You shoulda gone.

Happy Birthday Mats. Here's a wicked awesome birthday trip for you: http://forums.backpacker.com/cgi-bin/forums/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=963107219;t=9991114194

I hope for the sake of humanity that our child resembles me.

Hiking this weekend?
