Thank you! :) Anne said that the wind wasn't as bad on Abraham as it was on Sugarloaf. But she did say that the rocks on the slide combined with the light coating of snow made form treacherous footing. OK, I'll 'fess up. We were in a Prius, which is lower than many cars, but still ... that...

November 19, 2011 Trails: Caribou Valley Road, AT, Sugarloaf Side Trail, Spaulding spur path, bushwhack, Caribou Valley Road Conditions: The Caribou Valley Road is in horrible condition. This was not a big surprise due to earlier trip reports, but the extent of the erosion is truly amazing...

November 13, 2011 Trails: Sherburne Pass Trail, Pico spur, Long Trail/AT, Killington Spur Trail Conditions: All trails in good shape and well signed. Blowdowns have been cleared. Bog bridges and log treads (or whatever they’re called) are in pretty good shape (a few bog bridges could use...

April 23, 2011 Trails: 19 Mile Brook Trail, Carter Dome Trail, Carter-Moriah Trail Trail Conditions: 19 Mile Brook Trail was an easily navigable monorail early in the morning, firm enough to stand up to microspiked boots. The Carter Dome Trail was also a nice solid trail below and a series...

April 22, 2011 Trails: Airline, Gulfside Trail, Osgood Trail, Valley Way Trail Conditions: Below treeline Airline had a base of solid snow that was easily bare booted early in the day. Above treeline the little crest between the Chemin des Dames and Gulfside was clear of most snow, but had...

Trail Conditions: The Ammo Trail had some fresh snow on it ranging from a few inches in the trees to foot high drifts in more open areas. Up to the Gem Pool the snow had drifted over the trail, but it was still easy to see where people had gone before, and the fresh snow was easy to snowshoe...

I've hiked for 5 winters in the Whites and successfully used my camelback for dayhikes all those winters. I own the insulated hose and use it, but I do not use the cover for the mouthpiece 'cause it makes the mouthpiece tast weird (blech!). After drinking I blow the water back out of the tube...

Trail Conditions - Trails were well broken out except for a light dusting of new snow on top. Stream Crossings have bridges that held our whole group but don't seem terribly strong yet - take care. There is a downed tree a couple hundred feet up the Frost Trail that one has to go under as I...

Date of Hike: December 11-12, 2010 Trail Conditions: Wilderness – 2 to 3 inches of fluffy snow. Ties still exposed. Black Pond – the same Bushwhack – followed footprints from previous bushwhackers (?) right through the low-lying, boggy areas. But it got us where we were headed. Lincoln...

I have an Subaru Outback, which is pretty far off of the ground. After we discovered what happened, a friend of mine and I crawled under to wire up the rear exhaust pipe so it wouldn't dislodge and cause further damage. We had little problem reaching the pipe. So, I'm thinking that the...

So it was my catalytic converter that was stolen a week and 1/2 ago. We had parked at Rocky Branch Trailhead overnight (left at 10 am on saturday 11/13, returned at 10 am on sunday 11/14). I did report it to the Jackson police, and I gotta tell you that the officer that I spoke to seemed...
