Was just there (again) this past weekend - absolutely terrific ledges as you go up. The actual summit is a bit off the trail - and not marked as a spur - not sure I was aware of that the first time I went!!!!! Views from true summit are also outstanding!!!! No problems with parking in the...

I think of flagging as litter!!!! I like canisters and summit signs - someone can avoid the actual summit and sign if they are offended. Plenty of list-less objectives are unmarked if you are offended by summits. Flagging, on the other hand is SELDOM in just one location.

Once again, excellent exploration (continuation!) and showing us how it's going!!!! I really enjoyed reading about those!!!!

hehehehehehe

people definitely swim in the Gem Pool - and nobody scolds you there!!!!!

terrific report and pics - I always love reading your reports!!!!!

I am guessing it would now be $30 for EACH car since they are eliminating the household pass? EEEEK!!!! Sucks to have this many cars!!! Just kidding,,, hmmmm, 1st hikesafe card or 2nd WMNF sticker......

ya - so ICK!!!! I wonder if the dead person found was also looking for a "Pokestop"????

hahaha - no, but you know there will be some of those damn pokemons nearby

wellllllllll,,,, turns out I cannot download it on my phone,,,, darn it - I was wondering if there might be any creatures nearby and now I'll never know unless strangers start showing up. Gosh I hope this thing isn't still HUGE in the fall in my classroom :0

I've never seen coyote or had any interaction with them when backpacking or hiking - the only wildlife I've seen/heard has been loud birds, especially at sundown :)

Not sure which Dan Doan 50-hikes book it's from, but, he mentions a nice backpack on the East Pond Trail from the Kanc - there is a beaver pond in there he suggests camping near - (west of the trail - you can see it on the topo) - might be a little bushwhack but it doesn't sound too bad - it's...

Um, I haven't downloaded it, but I might.... I might have seen a couple people playing with it in my local park today. Wondering how it would be played on Franconia Ridge on a busy Saturday in July - ?????? Seems like it has potential to get people outside and earning "rewards" for...

I think I hiked into a rainbow gathering up near Slippery Brook a few years back - mostly just camping somewhat near the trailhead - I didn't see anyone actually hiking..... Um, not my cup of tea, um, not super-diverse either :0

haha - nice - yes I read your NETC Report :) fun area!!!!!

HI! YUP - that is a pretty amazing area!!!! Good pics! It can be intimidating because it is apparently still active-I wouldn't want to kick any stones out from under the big rocks!!!!

I did this a couple weeks ago: http://www.newenglandtrailconditions.com/nh/viewreport.php?entryid=25985 Road is totally destroyed with slash to prevent erosion (or so I've been told that's the reason). You can kind of find your way among the slash to the old Benton trailhead. There is a...

Hah - your observations are correct - there are no detailed maps (that I've found anyway) of the south side of Ragged showing all the trails (old/new/etc). There are a plethora of logging roads, old trails, ski trails, etc, in there. I've gotten pretty lost in there and then found old trail...

I would LOVE to see (OTHER) people trying to drive wind- and solar-powered cars rather than having our local mountaintops blasted off based on questionable economic calculations and tax subsidies
