Great capture

As a former Infantryman I hold a peculiar fondness for the A-10, but I like my time in the woods to be quieter these days. More typical in the Whites are fighters; something that needs lots of real estate to turn around. I've always assumed those were from the Vermont Air National Guard. No...

How far from the washout to the trailhead? The Benton Trail off Tunnel Brook Road had about 1.5 miles added when the Forest Service decided they couldn't permanently repair a washout.

They seem to be hovering near Concord. There are bare trees surrounding I-89 in the first few miles.

Update from 6/18 Walls are up with some sort of green tar paper. The bottom of the sign reads "Foster's Crossroads" in the same format as the Valero signage.

I walked from Kilkenny / Bog Dam Road up to Pond of Safety a couple years ago. I wouldn't say it was suitable for anything except snowmobiles. With all the wet weather recently, good luck to any wheeled vehicle. I just can't picture a gaggle of converted school buses trying to navigate the Loop.

Townsend State Forest in Massachusetts is full of the stuff. It is quite a sight in full bloom, but it can make for some horrific bushwhacking. As far as I have seen the northern limit for the plant is just north of the New Hampshire state line.

Or if scheduled just right, hike down under the light of the full moon.

I was on the Wentworth side yesterday. It started as FR 429 and is good shape for quite a way. I did a lot of meandering and in places the GPS was telling me I was on the trail, but there nothing on the ground that appeared trail-like. There is a skidder path that will get you above 1600' that...

Good thing you specified the location. I thought it might have been the one near Black Mtn & Sugarloaf ;-) Not yet. But reading this bumps it higher on the list.

This is somewhere on my 'To Climb' list. Good to hear that access is not a problem. It appears to have enough woods around to make a day of it.

Somehow, I just couldn't get myself to step closer ;-) At first, I saw Mom from behind, but seeing the yearling changed everything. I stayed at the edge of the road and looked for escape routes.

Mom wins!

I can take him.

Describe them and your trip and I'll send them along. It's like an essay contest to win a pair of crampons! ;) Email username is eric_soli Any yahoo can figure out the rest.

I took a nap on a hilltop with no name, trail or notable prominence. I wore a sleeping pad.

Dundee Road on the east and southeast has potential. IIRC it may have some potential parking spots. You would need to be careful navigating back, though. It does have it's share of back yards.

I saw the Bureau of Trails groomer and one snowmobile all day, but it was a Monday. On a weekend day, I would advise staying alert.

Probably won't need the snowshoes. I barebooted on Shannon Brook on Monday. The mountain is covered with groomed snowmobile trails. With the thaw on Weds & Thurs, followed by freeze, the trails should be good and crusty. Sorry Mo, too late to do you any good, but someone might make use of this...
