Though my schedule went through many frustrating changes for the weekend, I did manage to get in a hike, and I couldn’t have asked for a better day than July 4th. I left my house at 8:00am and dashed up the heavily patrolled I-93. This was to be another Fool Scout Ice Cream Sandwich Patrol...

"You are in a regulated WMNF fee area, please display your parking pass or place $3 in the tube."

Great day to be up there. I did see some folks who looked familiar on the summit around 11:00-11:30, I wonder if that was your group. Rather than post another Camels Hump TR here, I'll add this link to my TR.

Gee whiz. :rolleyes:

'Exit Wounds' - the usually minor blisters that could have been easily prevented but weren't... because you were almost done with your hike and decided not to stop.

This was originally supposed to be a NE4K or NEHH trip report, but given the poor weather forecasts all week, we decided to storm the REI garage sale, a flag-less stone tower, and the nearest state highpoint. The crew had assembled at REI in Reading for the garage sale and a test of wills. At...

You put out the fire? :eek: I was kind of hoping you'd come down with two stone tablets of commandments like 'thou shalt not posthole' or 'honor the alpine gardens'. I suppose you did the next best thing.

Thanks everyone for all of the answers and info. I can now file helicopter crash prevention and preparation right next to bear encounters and how to report trailhead break-ins. I thought there might be some info, and wasn't let down. We have ground-to-air signals from all over the world, and...

This is an odd question, but I'm somewhat stumped. Yesterday, while climbing Liberty and Flume, there were at least two rescue copters in the air and apparently searching Franconia Ridge. When I returned back to Liberty, a helicopter was about 20 yards off the summit, maybe 40 yards away...

I got first dibs on the bumper stickers! According to the AMC 4000 Footer Committee, this car hasn't climbed Mt. Washington

I have an instinctive aversion to excessive regulations. Yet, after visiting BSP last fall I would glady hike Katahdin in a tutu if the regulations so required. The original thread title is excellent on many levels. Simply put - Baxter State Park rules.

My deepest sympathies to the family and friends of this remarkable young man. If there is anything that we can do for the family, let us know.

At least you've made a good dent on the winter NH4K list. ;) Been fun following your adventure, Mats. I'm looking forward to the trip report. A great effort by you and the teeming well-wishers.

Free Snow - must pick up - Malden, MA I like snow much better in the hills than on my driveway. Would anyone care to haul some up North? I'll let you have it for free. In case anyone's interested, I've left it out by the curb. pm for directions ;)

Is this the same Steven Wright that bought a map where 1 mile=1 mile?

LNT is essentially distilling an entire philosophy to a bumper-sticker friendly slogan. While the phrase 'Leave No Trace' does capture the spirit concisely, it leaves little room for nuance, and plenty of room for zealotry. I wish they settled on 'Minimize Impact', as most folks could agree...

Better than AWD/4WD is a network of fellow hikers along your route home. Even with 4WD, I've had to make a few, "Hi... Got any room on the couch or floor? I can't see *&%+!" calls. I'd rather wait until morning, than deal with 10mph driving in whiteout conditions. I tell my concerned...

Met up with Steve, NewHampshire and the Jeneral, and we carpooled to Sawyer River Rd. The weather was cool but clear, the road conditions were fine, and the conversation enjoyable. We started up the Signal Ridge Trail which looked a lot different from last Monday's Carrigain trip. Even at low...

I may be a bit late, but I'm hoping to stop by. I've been concerned that I haven't been drinking enough lately and this seems like just the solution.

Woo Hoo! That's what we like to hear! 12 peaks left for the SherpaKroto towel - it hopes you can join it on Cannon. :D Keep on healin'!
