    When does a memorial become trash in a backcountry setting?

    As someone who is over-the-top anal about Leave No Trace, I “personally” have no problem with what you were doing. Given the amount of trash that is routinely left at trailheads and summits, a small wooden box placed under a cairn or placed in an inconspicuous spot for only you to know of its...

    A couple of Baxter State Park Updates

    When I get to the park on Sunday I will ask about driving from BB to the Travelers. I'm staying a week so I do have options.

    A couple of Baxter State Park Updates

    I was planning on doing the Travelers, so will it be still open before the 26th? Last year we stayed at Foster Field and it was a little over an hour to drive to the Travelers. This year we are staying at Bear Brook, which is by Roaring Brook so it will obviously take longer. I did look at a...

    Hip Flexor Pain

    I'm dealing with as we speak. After about an hour or so on the trail the pain subsides somewhat. The pain is still there, though I deal with it better.

    Footbeds - what type do you use?

    I’ve used both green and blue SuperFeet, and then switched to custom orthotics after developing Plantar Fasciitis. So far so good. BTW, most over-the-counter footbeds like SuperFeet are effective for only about a year, then they should be replaced.

    Interesting article about Lightning

    The saying goes if you are trapped by lightning on a golf course, hold up a 1 iron. The reason: even God cannot hit a 1 iron!

    Worst bug encounters ever

    I was in Conway NH doing a WFR re-cert and we were outside most of the day and quite frankly I do not remember if there was a bug issue or not since my mind was focused on other things.

    Cheap room in Conway NH

    Recommendation for a cheap room in Conway NH. I have to re-certify for my WFR and would rather not drive home Saturday night only to have to drive back on Sunday.

    Tripoli Road Closure

    If you go in by the golf course, just hang a left at the town library and follow the road to Livermore parking lot.

    Wildcats and Carters with an overnight at Carter Notch Hut

    You are correct on the North Carter Trail; I just left it out since I figure most people knew what I was saying. :-) I tend to use the sound of Cowboy brook as my guide that the cutoff is nearby as well as the open filed to the right. I might also send them over Hight if the weather is good...
