Hiked It Last Weekend For the second time. I assume you mean the Wonalancet Range Trail. No clue on the geocaches. Some general directions. Please refer to the map in the lot and have one with you. Head right out of the Ferncroft Parking Lot. A tenth of a mile in, hang a left before the...

Frequent reader and infrequent poster here. I have hiked the recognized 4000 footers of Maine and New Hampshire, plus many others in the area. Last weekend I made it to Carr Mountain. What a treat. Recently I accepted a job in Snohomish County, Washington that I start within a month. I am...

Reference in old AMC guide from the 40s I told my Dad about the old name last night. He looked it up in one of the old guides he has kicking around. Sure enough it was there. I can post a scan for whomever wants to read it.

Bear Deterrent is $39.96 at the North Conway EMS, if the 20% sale is still going on. Bear Bells are about $5. Of course, common sense is free. Observe from a distance, don't get between a mother and her cubs, play dead if attacked, etc...

Thanks again.

Thanks Chris. Whereabouts in the store is it? I'm by there twice a week usually. I'll try the one in North Conway first to forgo the sales tax.

Stupid ? Where can I pick up bear pepper spray locally? Locally being anywhere from the Western Maine Mtns to Waterville Valley and towards the coast centered around Conway. I know I can order it online. I prefer not to pay shipping. In the past, I checked at Bean in Freeport, ME but they...

Thanks Peaks.

Thanks Michelle.

Saw no trip reports for either of these in cursory searches. Looking for info on any snow or trouble spots. Thanks in advance. 1) Has anyone been up Old Jackson Rd to Tuckerman to Boott Spur to Davis to the top and return via the same way except going down Boott Spur Link recently? or 2) Old...

Didn't see this on the forums.. Search for missing hiker Park rangers in Baxter State Park are searching for a hiker who was last seen Friday afternoon. Officials say 41-year-old Michael Hays failed to return home Friday night after hiking Helon Tayler Trail in the park. The Forest Service has...

Has anyone been up it recently? Does anyone know if the road to the trailhead is open? I've called Penobscot Indian Nation Department of Natural Resources and been forwarded to the Maine Warden Service. No answers yet. Can anyone think of anyone else to call? Thanks in advance. :confused:

Thanks to everyone for the great info. I never knew there was controversy about the pronunciation of Tripoli Road.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastian_Cabot_%28explorer%29 Cabot was Italian, but explored for the English. Still, I agree with you John. Then again, if anyone else out there has a different opinion with a good reason I'd love to read it. While researching this topic, I found what seems to be...

To settle a discussion between a friend and I. Is it pronounced (pardon the bad approximations)- ka-but or ka-bow? Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for answers.

Thanks for the info. I'll try it out sometime.

@1HappyHiker No worries about the response. I said it was a stupid question. :) I've been interested in the Peak Above The Nubble since I finished the NH 48 (not a fan of lists, but they draw me in). The Nubble now intrigues me as well. It reminds me of the Sugarloaves in Dixfield, Maine...

Nice post. Now here's a stupid question from a longtime lurker, infrequent poster. Are the Nubble and Peak Above the Nubble two different entities? Thanks in advance.
