I agree with brianW BUT just remember that Troy, NH tends to be a speed trap. :eek:

If you think I'm letting you get the last word on this one, you're crazy! :p

He better worry. Well you know what they say: objects in your rearview mirror are closer than they appear!

Uh, actually, I thought that .... no, better not go there. :D

That's amazing: how to drive a beaver out of his/her mind. In college I took a course in animal behavior and the instructor was talking about "sign stimuli" that trigger certain responses. He did a class (well out-of-class really) demonstration. We went to a nearby marsh and he stuck a black...

So are you sorry you sponsored my membership? :( Actually, I don't intend to keep posting at this rate. I'm just trying to get to 50 posts so I can spread some "reputation" around to you and others! :)

Thanks Thanks for all the reports. I found them useful.

Breathtaking.

We have met the enemy and he is us... I think it is the book Guns, Germs, & Steel where the author - Jared Diamond - points out that virtually all large North American mammals went extinct just about the same time that humans arrived across the Bering Strait. As Pogo said, "We have met the...

Dress & Undress Well truth be told, I did the same thing once when hiking with my boyfriend of the time and of course the same thing happened. I hesitate to mention that because now I fear there are going to be lots of posts from guys defending our "rights to go topless." Oh well... But I...

Not by navigation alone I feel guilty that I almost hijacked the thread with that dangerous mountain thing. So I wanted to make amends with a more relevant comment: In addition to working on my navigation skills, I also like to think about my route finding skills. It's all well and good to...

Can't we all just get along? Well I'm all for a world in which people are courteous to each other. I like it when we are kind to each other regardless of gender. What I like about VFTT is that it is a community. I'd like to see this community on the trail, too, and frequently I find it...

And speaking of peril You might enjoy this annotated slideshow on the 10 deadliest mountains. http://www.mensvogue.com/health/slideshows/2007/12/dangerous_mountains?slide=1#showNav Sardog1, I hope I'm not hijacking the thread. I think learning nav-skills is extremely important.

Not Without Peril That's it! Thanks guys! :)

I agree Okay Carole, that went over my head, but it sounded sweet! Anyway, I totally agree with sardog1. I do have a GPS. I bought it after I read the book about all those deaths on Mt. Washington (does anyone remember the name of it?) and saw how many people succumbed to hypothermia after...

This is from Goose Pond: Do beavers actually think about the best way to fell a tree? Do they understand what they are doing or do they just feel the urge to gnaw? I'm asking because I wonder why the beaver would almost finish felling the tree and then start a second cut just above it...

I've been reading about the hemlock woolly adelgid. This species of insect was introduced from Asia in the 1920's in Virginia and is now found as far north as SE Maine. It has wiped out all the eastern hemlocks in Shenandoah National Park and there is a real battle going on to save the...

Actually, you can tell because the last segment of the abdomen has a different shape. But DON'T ask why I know that.

Isn't it obvious? ;)
