The REAL Problem Let's face it folks, the real problem is the STATE doesn't support F&G, plain and simple. :eek: The state already imposes a tax on hotels and restaurants throughout the state. If you eat before your out-of-door adventure, or eat and drink after your adventure :p, or stay...

View this video first, then answer my query If you can :D :D :D Mt. Washington Incident (YouTube) I always knew hiking Mt. Washington was dangerous, even greater in the winter months, but this is a danger I never thought of. It's obvious after I viewed the video. My question is, How do I...

Playing Outside Very Nice...Now I have another reason to go out and play when the temps is -10F. I already know the trick about throwing a boiling , or nearly boiling, in the air when it's super cold out. The liquid turns from a solid to a crystal and just floats away in the wind. Very...

It's obvious, It's to identify which trees are of legal drinking age, and which are not. Normally, wrist bands would be used, but have you ever tried to put a wrist band on a birch tree? :D :D :D Life Free and Hike...Walker

The Inner Fire Sadly, this explanation has my vote. Someone who spent this much time in the woods would not just "loose interest". He/she might have lost the ability to physically walk the trail, but the inner fire would still burn, creating a value for these patches far beyond a monetary...

Big Brother IS Watching A couple of years ago, I was walking around a parking area somewhere in the Whites. (I won't say where, for obvious reasons). I happen to see a small piece of electronics sticking out of the ground. Being the geek I am, I had to find out what this was. After searching...

Setting up a easy test Two Things..... One...The life of the battery has to do with how many "amp hour" the batteries are rated for. Somewhere on the battery you will find the volts and amp hour. Something like "7.5v 750mAh" (7.5 volts with 750 milliAmp hour which is equal to .75Amp Hours))...

Nothing New!!! Back in '04 I had the pleasure of having the North Andover, MA Fire Department transport me to the local hospital. The transport involved the use of and "ALS" ambulance, two paramedics, an EKG monitor, and Oxygen. The whole ride was eight minutes, and six miles. The town of...

I just read Steve Smith's Blog about a short hike thru Waterville Valley, when my memory was jogged. This summer, I walked down Livermore Rd and turned left onto Greeley Pond trail, when I started to notice drilling pipes every now and then. There had to be a least 6 to 10 of these drill sites...

Best of Both Worlds I have an old (six years plus) pair of Komperdell's bought under the REI name. These poles lock for accent, and, if you give them a twist, they unlock a small shock absorber for decent. It works for me. The length is controlled by a internal twisting lock. Two per pole...

Thanks for pointing out my mistakes I knew his name but the fingers have a hard time spelling "Willem" instead of "William" (force of habbit, I've spelled William many more times than Willem). :D:D:D Straight from 501(c)(3) Status "501(c)(3) Status New Hampshire Public Broadasting (NHPB)...

I just found on YouTube " Film New Hampshire Promo feat. Orson Welles ". It's a promo for the film and television industry. They have a couple of real nice shots of the Whites, Dixville, and a couple of ridge lines I haven't figured out yet. It's a nice way to waste a eight minutes. Hike Free...

Keeping an Eye Out I had the opportunity a couple of years ago to come back to the trail head just as some no good so-and-so smashed the window in the car next to mine. I kept quit until I could get a license number, then showed myself. These two punks had a long talk with the local sheriff...

Flying in/over/through/under the Whites Trying not to get to far from the topic of "Hiking", flying in the Whites was well documented in the posting http://www.vftt.org/forums/showthread.php?t=31751 See you on the trail.....Walker

I sure Guy showed him the right trail to climb I'd rather dies twenty feet from a summit than twenty feet from my desk. We all die alone... You might have family and friends by your side, but at the moment of destiny, it's all between you and whatever entity you believe in. I sure Guy showed...
