I've hiked in Harriman a few times this past Autumn and winter, I like it a lot. But some of the trail markings really confused me on the last trip. So I bought the new 2013 maps, very nice. Will keep you all posted about another trip soon there. Bald Rocks area is very cool, and finally...

Nice Red Oak! So my experience last night wasn't good, failure. I went back into my house around midnight, not because of the cold, just the opposite... to hot! Things I learned... 1.a nalgene filled with boiling water does heat up the bag sometimes to much! My sleeping bag is cut so...

I'm camping out tonight in my yard..temps here on Long Island low single digits with real feel app -10F..I'm guessing staying in the tent will get rid of the real feel tent...I understand about hiking all day then making a meal then trying to sleep...did it the other day at Harriman St Pk, temps...

Tent did well, it's a SD dome with a forward hoop to strengthen the vestibule. Snow gathered on the sides and it looks like it squeezed it like a peanut shape. I checked it out today and it still has it's shape inside. I'm going to camp out tonight in my yard. Will use my exped mat and a NF...

I set up the tent, it's nice but app10lbs. I placed some flower pots over the stakes so that the snow doesn't cover them up tomorrow, needed just one more flower pot, oh well. Took some pics, will take a few more tomorrow when I get home app 5pm. Snow should arrive around then, app 6 in here...

Not to sure about where in Harriman that is but I went hiking/camping Mon night with a buddy and had a wonderful time. We chriss crossed all over the place on purpose and by accident and camped out at the metal shelter along the Long Path. On way back out we hiked through the Lemon Squeezer...

Michael, great pics...didn't get to view all of them but it brought back some nice memories...Thanks...also saw a picture of Dawn Hamilton and not knowing her then it's funny how I completed 5 states of her www.viewsandbrews.com list years later.

I called Barnes Field today. First come first served. $10 each vehicle. I asked "what if 3 people are in the car with 3 tents?" Same reply, $10 per vehicle. Warming tent is fine. Campfires are allowed, keep it safe. Dogs allowed on leach. They plow 11 sites and others do use them. $...

Can you give more details on the "overflow places" I would like to write it down for myself. Thanks

Yep, I know about that. That's a difficult one for me because it's tough to drive the 250 miles Friday night, hike and have fun Saturday and then drive home Sunday. :( I have off the week of Feb 17-21 for presidents week and thought I could get up to NH possibly Feb 20, relax and do a nice...

ok, here goes... It short words, I had the greatest time in my life app 8 years ago when I went on the vftt winter gathering at Barnes Field in NH. I'm sure there are people out there who want to go but are a little nervous about what to expect. I will do my part by calling up Barnes Field to...

Thanks Michael. I think I will talk to my nephew (Bostonian now) and set up something with him mid February at Barnes Field. Will post is as a winter gathering and see what happens. I sure will miss that neat warming tent and the snizz burgers from years ago. I will do my best to help out...

Ha Ha, yes I still have that Matrix! App 170K miles on it, kids made me take stickers off, then I put back on, then next kid was driving it, so stickers off, now on again...I did sleep in it a few times in winter and frosted up the windows...You have a great memory!

Thanks everyone, doing some quick research for now, from what I just googled on.. Barnes Field, had to click on Reserve America and it said "closed until May 15, 2014"...wonder if that's true? Will check out others later this week...I'm in no way an extreme hiker with experience but I don't...

Years ago for a VFTT winter gathering Barnes Field was open. 1. Is Barnes Field always open in winter and you pay the caretaker when there? I remember pumping water there from the spigget. (sp?) 2. Are there other campsites for car camping in NH? 3. Might as well ask about VT also...

Thanks, would be nice to get out there for a weekend.
