Just take you time and have fun.

I was enjoying a campfire with a friend, sipping wine and talking treason, when I noticed a blinking light in the river. I walk down to the river and rock hopped across to the blinking light thinking it might be an actual alien encounter only to find a large drone. I rescued it from its watery...

Heading to Baxter on Monday for a week. It's our 8th year.

I've done 11 or 12 N-S and 1 S-N. I too prefer the N-S for the reasons stated.

Anyone know of a consignment shop for used gear. A co-worker needs some backpacking gear for her two sons, ages 12 & 15. Thanks

My co-worker is going with her family and I want to show her what to expect.

Don't forget to watch the sunset from West Bond!!! A must see!!

I've seen this shuttle a few time over the years. They also run a shuttle to FW/OBP trailhead that usually arrives about 4:00pm. They do the loop in headlamps.

I bought the Coleman Weathermaster, which sleeps ten. Although there is enough room for all my gear, I wasn’t happy with the dripping from condensation off of the rain fly. I guess Weathermaster is a relative term.

I did a recon to LL in Franconia Notch and there is still several feet of snow off trail.

I carry two: a 36” and a 20” Therm-a-Rest pad for splints. They can double for an insulation pad if need be. They both fit into the back sleeve of my backpack.

Yes, just PM me your address.

You can ski the Livermore Road up to the turn off to the Tri's without a pass. You can also ski the Tripoli Road without a pass as well. You cannot ski the turn off to Osceola Vista without a pass.

Livermore parking is plowed by WV for the XC skiers, but hikers are welcome to use it as well. Personally, I prefer the Scaur Ridge approach given that I live along rt 49.
