    Liberty Spring tentsite

    This past Sunday I was coming down Lafayette and ran into Forest Service who had spent the night at Liberty Springs. They are fully aware of these sites and they have a presence up there. Not that consciousness should be the fear of the police or anything..

    summer weight hiking pants ?

    "D) While my heritage and coloring might indicate a kilt, I'm not there...yet." I think that is the way for you to go. your hiking times will plummet as hikers stop you to get advice on a good single malt. Seriously...try lederhosen.

    Equinox

    Nice three mile ascent with aggressive elevation gains. The trail at the summit is rerouted to a road that leads to the parking lot for the toll road. There is a construction site for the lodge (or whatever it will be) that makes for an unsightly view. However, there are some lookout point that...

    Hikes in Crawford Notch?

    I like the Etan Pond trail to Shoal Pond. There are some limited views of Willey and Whitewall. There is great habitat.

I followed the logging trail to the col and bushwacked through some fir waves until I was below the peak and found the herd path. This was easy to follow the peak. it was very buggy and birdy. The descent was fast but I...

    Like the Bob-white the peeps in the Northeast have escaped from a breeder...in this case an easter basket. You can take care of them by creating a nice nest of easter hay and feeding them jelly beans. It is good thing you took photos because the rare bird committee of New Hampshire usualy will...

    The *real* reason not to leave your pack at the col

    I could have taken a similar picture except the thieving critter was a marmot. Cute factor of 1.0 vs cute factor for the martin 9.8.

    Evolutionary View of Lyme Disease

    Not sure why the Iceman reminds me of Wes Welker this past weekend. Serioulsy, the Mercola piece is interesting from a medical sociology viewpoint...Mercola is mainly read by people who have rejected science based medicine. They don't care if there are peer reviewed citations. Many have had a...
