    Winter nh 48 canine finishers

    Oooh, I remember some of those Brutus pics. Love his massive eclipse-like form. Newfs rock! Great Tom and Atticus pics too. I still haven't read his book but look forward to doing so; my 87 year old grandfather just read ad LOVED it. He is almost deaf so it was cool to be able to give him a...

    Food: Spelt Bread

    Hmm. I think several weeks is pretty long to ask bread to hold up. Nothing to do with the spelt. If it's not frozen, it should either mold....or if it doesn't, you shouldn't eat it -- WAY too many preservatives!! Not sure what your logistics/situation are hike-wise but if you mail the...

    Amusing mountain names

    All of these, and my personal favorite, Grand Teton, really need new names...

    Chased by a skunk!

    I'd actually report that shiz. Chasing a person is totally not normal. Did you contact local game/animal control people? Seems like it would be important to let them know asap. Rabies is no joke... And, glad you outran it!!!

    Beginning winter hiking - which trails to start out on?

    Brambor, thank you very much for the info on the road access - can't remember if I replied on the other thread but if not, I meant to!! The road was plowed, roughly, after the big storm from over a week ago but the few new inches were not plowed. There is a big snowbank in the mid of the road...

    Beginning winter hiking - which trails to start out on?

    Many, many thanks again to everyone for the great discussion. Just wanted to chime back in and give a little update. My friend Crag and I hiked today and, mostly due to proximity, ended up on the Little Jackson trail up Tumbledown in Weld, ME. Trip report. gear list, pics are all here...

    Tumbledown in Winter?

    Anyone know what's up with hiking Tumbledown in the winter? I heard the road wasn't maintained but wanted to check and see what that entails. Is it gated? Can you park on the roadside and roadwalk in? How long is the roadwalk? Anyone know if the Parker Ridge trail is...

    Beginning winter hiking - which trails to start out on?

    No need to apologize on behalf of anyone, DaveBear. I am gaining much knowledge (or losing some ignorance?) by watching the discussion unfold as it will. Such unfolding of related tangents are the nature and value of discussion, no? :) Everyone's point of view comes from something. It's...

    Hartford, CT tonight 1-7-13 Chasing Ice

    This is a gorgeous film and I highly recommend it. The footage is absolutely breathtaking. The content is pretty intense too; I admire the dedication of the artist to focus on such a tangible/meaningful/thought-provoking/frightening subject. He and his team are doing outstanding work...

    Beginning winter hiking - which trails to start out on?

    Tom, thanks for the clarity. I have no plans to head back to Osceolas. The whole trail, not just the chimney, was in rough shape last time I was there with lots of erosion/overuse and I decided it wasn't a place I would return, even in winter. Let the 4k peakbaggers have it.

    Beginning winter hiking - which trails to start out on?

    Cardigan, Pierce, Liberty, also Carter Notch, all sounding like place I need to head to, soon. Tremont sounds cool too, plus I've never been there. Old Speck has always been anticlimactic to me but I think in winter it might be able to redeem itself.

    Continued thanks to each and every one of you on all the advice. I'm reading and re-reading your posts and gathering bits of insight from all the discussion and developing increasing amounts of respect for the VFTT community. Bro, I've been wondering where you've been! Carters, I see...
