Also noted, Monday The Emily Proctor Trail was closed. The forest roads in the area have been repaired for the most part, however, there is still alot of work and heavey equipment in the roads.

Thanks for the Greenie Dr. So are you on for the Christmas Bird count this year? It could be a good one as there is a lot of cones and Mt Ash berries.

Does anyone know why there is a ski patrol rescue sled hanging from a tree on the summit on Big Jay?

very encouraging...so what's next Disney world or ADK?

Easy trail, hot and crowded on the descent. Still very muddy in the col between the Big Jay and Jay,

I first tried to go up Emily Proctor trail. There was a sign at the trailhead stating it was closed due to storm damamge. I went to Skylight. The trail is in great shape, no bowdown or washouts. Pretty dry. The Emily Procot shelter is in great shape. I didn't bother to go to the Skylight Pond...

Thanks...you guys are the best. I will put a bounty on black back woodpeckers..report one and I will buy you a beer. Be honest now!

Please mark your calendar for the AMC sponsored Audubon Christmas Bird Count to be held on Dec 17, 2011 at the Highland Center. This will be the 112th CBC and our seventh at Crawford Notch. Lets hope for abundant cones and Mt Ash berries to bring a good variety of birds in high numbers.

Wow what an opportunity to help close a volume of history. I would love to join. However, due to work issues Imay not be able to commit. Because of the forms you have filled out are late comers excluded?

Let me be the first to ask a dumb question....did you make yourself a cup of jo at the top or did you try one of the mocha double espresso turbo shots to get your caffiene?

Papa Bear...That could be a good mnemonic "Fur up" as in "don't get your dander up" But that might make me think of a cat and cat spruce (aka White spruce) but the white spruce the cones would point down...now I have really confused myself. Then again the balsam firs have the blisters on the...

Not sure what is more impressive the workmanhsip on the signs or the crew that was assembled to put them up.

good point Tim. I have seen nonpereil capers in the general stores up there. I love the State of Maine.

What about protective instincts for the Fisher's family? If I am standing in line at the supermarket and see someone with a cart full of baby food and pampers I will let them go first...the kid is hungry. Or if a two year old drops his meat loaf I panic, the little guy might go hungry. I...

I am the trail adopter for the upper section of Glenn Boulder....it IS nasty when it is wet btween the boulder and the drop off into tree line. As I get older and become more of a chicken sh!t I might opt for some trail I can access with my walker and grub hoe.

This thread has me thinking...fishers are the main predators of porcupines. Would these hikers in Maine stop to do something to save the cute little porcupine?

hey thanks for the green. That was an old post. I like to use a Zappa quote here and there as bait.

Winter hike to Algonquin, Iriquois and Phelps this past Feb. I grabbed my gaitors to realize I had one of mine and one of my wife's that would not fit. Gaitorless, I had to watch my bretheren spring the spruce traps before me. I could only ausage my guilt that night with a few beers and 12 year...

Finally found an answer to the naming of the Black Angel trail mystery. It was named by Mr. Alva Richardson who was a Forest Guard stationed at the Wild River Ranger Station. Alva helped build the Black Angel Trail in 1927. It was named because they found a blackened tree stump that resembled...

I would love to jump in on this. I have a prior comitment...I will lurk and see if you change the date for whatever reason.
