Hey Sherpa, Is that the Doherty that wrote "Smoke from a Thousand Campfires" ? I've been searching for a copy of that book for years . I think that I've read that Joe Dodge referred to him as the "fish cop".

Ninety Degrees North by Fergus Fleming In the Land of the White Death by Valerian Albanov Hell on Ice by Cdr. Edward Ellsberg (uncle of Daniel Ellsberg of Pentagon Papers fame) Ham on Rye by Charles Bukowski (just to see if you're paying attention).

This list begins and ends with one name : Post R. Boy If you have a problem with that, you'll have to deal me. Swamp P. Yankee

The Mews has 69 drafts on tap (and great food) but nothing brewed in-house.

Which high point ? Jerimoth Hill or the Central Landfill ?

Where exactly did Bauhaus end and Joy Division begin. All that 80's art school ***** sucked (or at least as I've been told by my elders) but convention dictates that there should be some demarcation between the two.

When I was hiking with He Who Shall Remain Nameless in the Pittsburg area we used a map available at most of the local stores called the Connecticut Lakes Region Road and Trail Guide. It shows many of the forest roads and gate locations.It's published by the Liebl Printing Co. of Colebrook and...

The pleasure was all mine Mats. I thoroughly enjoyed hiking with you and Jen and hope to do a small fraction of your next adventure.

I agree with Wu. I'm comforted by the fact that crime is now so rare in the North Woods that the police require excursion train trips to justify their employment.

As Mr. Metsky said, about half the hikers think it's a well and the other half think it's a toilet. I would avoid it.

Is the goddess welcome Stev-O ?

That camp was replaced by the Eckerd Foundation camp just to the east (Ehuntee sp?). The large building with the hearth was intact until just a few years ago and was burned either by vandals or public officials (around here they're pretty much the same thing).

Be careful about camping near Camp 16. There was once a shelter at the Bondcliff/Wilderness junction that's currently a reveg area. The rangers can be aggressive about keeping campers out. Some decent sites can be found a short distance up the Bondcliff trail.

I do a Pemi/Bonds trip every Memorial weekend and conditions are never the same from year to year. Two years ago the trail was dry and summer-like from Lincoln Woods to the summit of Bond, 3+ feet of snow from Bond to South Twin , and back to summer conditions by Galehead hut,13 Falls and out...

I believe that there was a concerted effort (around 2001 maybe?) to remove all the summit canisters in the Daks. It had something to do with compliance with wilderness area regs.

Although I'm also a native RIer, I've never hiked up Jerimoth Hill. I prefer the more technical challenges offered by the Central Landfill.

I stayed at Grey Knob a few weeks ago on a Sunday night. I was the only guest and I was comfortable in a 15 degree bag. I was told that there were 17 people the night before (including a writer and photog from National Geographic on a 3 day traverse) and it was actually uncomfortably warm from...

Hey JJMCGO, I like and look forward to your posts (this one included). Just be aware that the moderators here are very content specific and are likely to ban your buttocks in a New York minute if you broach such a subject as astonomy. Stick to hiking and we're all A O K ...

The winter before last we found canisters on all 5 of the Hitchcock peaks. We found 2 canisters on one of the peaks,either the main one(3600) or SE (3500). Post'r Boy could tell ya.

Be aware that there are few sources of water on the Baldfaces. Although most shelters in the Whites are built near a water source the shelter on South Baldface has no reliable water nearby. The Baldface loop is a great scenic hike, just be prepared to carry whatever water you may need...
