Another vote for Algonquin.

From the Conway Daily Sun article (referenced in the original post): The state, however, did not see it that way. Horgan had the gear and the skills to survive hostile conditions, Maj. Kevin Jordan of the Department of Fish and Game's law enforcement division said, but "that's a separate action...

If my reason for going to the mountains was to "get away from technology", I'd have to leave my digital camera at home.

If N to S: - unless the weather is bad, drop your pack at the Madison Hut for the side trip up Madison. Some will tsk-tsk and wag their finger at you and offer valuable safety advice...just smile, thank them, and do it anyway. - after leaving Madison Hut take Gulfside to Thunderstorm Junction...

You're flying into Billings? How about Yellowstone. Even though most of it is in Wyoming, three of its entrances are in Montana. About three hours from Billings to Northeast gate of YNP. Even if you didn't enter YNP, the drive alone is worth it.

You guys should get out more.

It passed? Excellent. Thanks for sharing the great news. A victory for those who believe private property means private property. Thanks again for posting.

Wish they told us where it was. All they say is 2.5 hours walk from Banff town.

About 5 years ago I had a one-year subscription to Backpacker Magazine...silly mistake. I seem to remember among all the block ads in the final pages of every issue, there was an ad for exactly what you're describing. If you can get a hold of some old (and maybe even new) issues, scan the ads...

Recently got a hold of a camping/hiking photo album (circa 1978) I hadn't seen in decades. Stopped at this gas station in Greenville, Maine, on the way to Ripogenus Dam and then Gulf Hagas as well as other stops. Note the "Regular" and "Unleaded" gas pumps, and the "Game Inspection Station"...

Yes, 11 is Sabbaday Falls. And... SPOILER ALERT ...photo 5 is taken at Franconia Falls.

All photos taken in White Mountains. What are the photos of AND where are they taken from? Small request: If you know most/all of them, please don't post your answers right away. Let people play for a while. Thanks. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

I have a slightly different take. In addition to about a hundred other artists, Jimi Hendrix and Norah Jones are permanent fixtures on my MP3 player...talk about polar opposites. Neither of these two musicians, nor any other musician, has the effect of making me hike more quickly or more...

Careful, that's how babies happen. Prediction: mid-to-late-April crazy winter-like storm. 15" in the Twins-Guyot-Zealand area.

Is this story from The Onion?

Given the little snow and high temps, is there any hope for spring skiing in tuckerman ravine this year? If so, any guesses as to the best time? The MW OBS Wildcat webcam doesn't point at the ravines anymore so it's tough to tell what's still there. Thanks.

You get a kick out of people that have snowshoes on for no apparent reason. Some people get a kick out of people who are almost always wearing crampons. Different things make different people laugh. Keep in mind that some people might have cold hand syndrome (Reynaud's?) or maybe severe lower...
