Nice little post. I love Potash, it's one of my favorite day hikes. And yes, it is a pretty good workout at the same time.

Potash is always a nice little hike. Thanks for posting the great pics.

He climbs better than he writes. :D

Correct. Hiker <> yuppie Yuppier <> hiker.

:eek: But I don't even own a sports coat. I guess that eliminates me from being a guest. No problem, I don't hang with yuppies anyway.

:) Great news, thanks for posting it. I hope he continues to hike and that this does not deter him. Hopefully he goes with a partner next time.

God bless this guy for still hiking, many 82 year-olds are confined to a bed in a nursing home so I think it is great that this guy can still get out on the trails. However, I do think that at his age it is a bit dangerous for him to be on the trails alone. Hopefully this story has a happy...

Not a WMNF book but a book that I enjoyed and one that I think most hikers would like.

In my state we're supposed to call it a Holiday Tree. :rolleyes: Anyway, it is too bad they didn't pull out a permit to show this guy and end the discussion right there. It sounds to me like they followed the rules. If they didn't have a permit then they simply need to get one next time. I...

Glad to see this won't be a problem any longer. I remember a previous owner who used to discourage hikers with the help of his two friends...Smith & Wesson. Still there are better trails in RI. http://news.providencejournal.com/breaking-news/2011/12/ri-to-purchase.html#.Tt4H5VYTCCs

As someone who likes to go to Pittsburg for a vacation I'm glad to see more hiking opportunities up there. I've only hiked Mt. Magalloway up there but now I see there are some more options. I'm looking forward to hitting those other portions of the trail. Some good day hikes...

This meeting may be taking place in East Greenwich but the paragraph clearly describes West Greenwich. Which BTW is my home town. I guess if I see a big black creature hiking in the woods.... :eek: :rolleyes:

Wish I'd seen it. I always love to see cougars.

Thanks folks, all good suggestions. I did a couple of great hikes. Mt Hayes in Gorham via the Centennial trail, Mount Waumbek via Starr King and a nice little hike called the Lookout Ledge which is maintained by the RMC (Randolph Mountain Club) with a nice view of Mount Adams. As for eats, I...

I'll be staying in Jefferson for a week at the end of July. I've got some ideas for some day hikes in the area but I was wondering if any of you have any personal favorites. Something along RT 2 would be ideal. Also, does anybody have any favorite eating establishments in that area? Thanks.

I'll second the Blue Hills. The Blue Skyline trail is not that difficult and provides some nice views. Some of the kids might need some help at the mid point since there is a little rock climb involved but if you have enough staff that should not be a problem. Fellow hikers are usually willing...

I've been taking my son hiking since he was 4 years old. He's seven now and has more than a few trails to his credit including one 4K...Waumbeck. I get dirty looks and comments from YUPPIES but I could care. Let them get on the trails sometime and learn to appreciate nature. In the meantime they...

Having lived in a heavily deer populated area and being bitten by a deer tick thus ending up in the hospital for 5 days...I say kill the b*st*rds. Thumbs up to the Fisher!

Glad to hear she made it out alive. Sounds like a great job by the rescue workers. Hopefully she recovers and can one day get back on to the trails.

Found that out the hard way. :o
