Last year, I also had to have a windshield replaced. I peeled off the sticker, brought it to the Lincoln Woods ranger station, and they gave me a new sticker (with the same expiration as the old one) for free.

I hike in northern New England year round. I own decent down gear (mostly Western Mountaineering) but if I expect damp air and wet ground, I only carry synthetic, and if it's synthetic it's going to be Wiggy's. I have the Ultima Thule bag, the Single person Bivy, and even the SS water bottle and...

Hey MJ, There's a sign on Duck Pond Mt. I'll try to attach a picture but I'm fairly useless with this gizmo. On that peak I found the sign but no cannister.

In the most recent edition of Colin Fletcher's The Complete Walker (IV), on page 312, the editors discuss a home-made heat exchanger for cartridge stoves made of brass that transfers heat from the cooking flame back to the cannister. Even the authors admit though that ,with such a device, "you...

Hey mavs00, I received this same NG software package for Xmas and I'm having a blast playing with it so far. It's reassuring to hear of your positive experience with their customer service. Just out of curiosity, did you send in the product registration card when you first got the...

I see red fox around my yard fairly often but last weekend, on Mt. Washington on the bottom of the Lions Head trail, Donna and I saw the biggest fox I've ever seen. It was as big as a medium sized dog.

Hey Sherpa, I've been following this thread and, just out of curiosity, how much Doctor M. does an undertaking of this scope require? We may have just graduated from the 1.75ml (or 2 or 3) to the 50 gallon drum.

I know a ranger in the Pemi (White Mts) who says that he checks VFTT every day for trail conditions. He seems to view it as a valuable resource.

I'm a synthetic fan through and through and my favorite bag is a Wiggy's Ultima Thule (check out wiggys.com). It's rated to -20 and that's conservative. Bombproof construction (#10 zippers) and excellent insulation. OK...I'm a Wiggy's fan...the downside is that it's still a synthetic bag.It...

Hey Tramper Al, I live in southern RI right along the NST. Give me a shout when you're in the area.I've hiked from Blue Shutters Beach to my house (about 10 miles) and a few other odd sections, but never the whole thing.Every spring a group usually does the trail from end to end on...

I bought the extented plates for my Grivel G-10s. They claim to accept a boot up to size 14. I don't know if this addresses your situation or not.

You can find high-res scans of most of the old USGS maps at http://docs.unh.edu/nhtopos/nhtopos.htm . Go ahead and frame your originals.

Hey Ken, Last Friday night I stayed at Franconia Brook and on Sat. hiked up to 13 Falls. Although the weather was marginal the sites filled up and several were placed in overflow sites. I don't think that you would encounter that many during the week, but it is vacation season so you never...

Hey Cantdog, I agree it's a bummer. I hope I hear that all turned out well. Later that afternoon I hiked over to Norcross pond and met a couple guys on the dam. We hiked up Mt. Nancy together.That old car (a Biscayne I believe) was theirs.

Saturday around noon I was coming off the Duck Pond Mt. bushwhack and heard someone yelling off in the woods. Worked my way over to see what was the matter and found a couple searching for their Golden Retreiver. I believe the dog's name is Max. Does anyone know them and know if they located...

Hey El-Bagr, That's me, the Defender of the Unappreciated Peak!!!:) I think this weekend I'm going to make a run at the cluster of 3K's around Nancy Pond (weather permitting). If I have time I'm gonna check out Saunders just because,well,now I have to....If I survive I'll leave a full...

On the USGS Mount Washington Quad, about a mile south-south east of Duck Pond Mountain (near Nancy Pond) is listed a Mount Saunders. It shows up along a ridgeline with no apparent prominent peak.Neither the AMC maps nor the Map Adventure map make any mention of it. Has anyone come across any...

Just to help with the directions, once you get off 95 at exit 3A you'll come to a red light right away(at McDonald's). Continue on and at the next red light (7 or 8 miles) take a left. That's route 2. 3 or so miles up Rt 2 you'll find Mail Rd. on the left (there's a fire station at the corner)...
