We did this hike in July (31st) and used the route you discuss. Enjoyed the roads and ski trails up (great views when you turn around) and then up to D and over to A. On the way over we marked some possible whacks/herdpaths to the ski trial without going over D again. The path we took was...

This is not just a poop issue (though that magnifies the results). On many trails there is toilet paper left from someone peeing. I don't remember exactly how many we counted on Mt. Garfield Tr. but it was over 20 locations (that was without even trying to spot them, I'm sure there were many...

When we did Siyeh Pass and Iceberg Lake they were both ranger led hikes (just happened to be going out where we were starting so joined them). They really imparted a lot of information during the trip. Iceberg Lake hike was on wild flowers, and Siyeh Pass was geology. Even our teenage sons...

Not sure where you normally travel but the 140/106 intersection will be bad once the race lets out. Not sure, but they may not let you cross (140 to 140 at the lights)(only N out of Loudon).

Appears via GPS to be about 3.3 miles. Second Sue's assessment of the trail. This wet it would be nasty. Even with "dry" weather the south side was nasty.

Yesterday when going up Nineteen Mile Brook Trail we spotted some flagging and what appears to be a trail being cleared. From my waypoint it is about 8/10 up NMB trail and would put it about on the 1900' contour. If you stayed on this contour you would connect right to the bend in Imp Trail as...

Wow! I thought some of the people I work with were long term planners. You win! As Zac said about the start and finish times, but the time does matter if you plan on counting those peaks for AMC recognition (winter 4K list). Cannot start a hike before the 4:48 UTC time on Dec. 22, and must...

Hi Zac, Some info here from NPR http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2015/03/30/392378800/compression-clothing-not-the-magic-bullet-for-performance Ken

Concord (NH) public library has put on a number of these programs (Jennifer Pharr-Davis, Not About the Hike, Himalaya by Erugs). You could give them a call.

As do I. How would this affect the state and other "owners"?

Triple the school backpack recommendations. Both sons used these and they were fine. They easily hold 10lbs comfortably (20% of her body weight which is way more than my winter pack to my body weight 14%). She will be in adult packs in 5-7 years (enjoy, the time goes FAST). When they were my...

I was at Great Glens this Sunday. It was the day of a race via nordic skis or snowshoes on a loop of the trails (4K) then up the auto road for (6K). The snowshoes were the racing variety. Small, no flotation (not needed for this use) with lots of articulation of the foot. You basically ran...

Congratulations Sandy. Off to new adventures next week. Ken and Karen

Thanks for that info. Two weeks ago we went skiing from Tripoli Rd up toward Greeley Pond. The lot was packed. A FS Ranger got out of his truck and he had the full weapons belt with handgun, taser etc. Both my wife and I had never seen that on rangers. He just looked around, was friendly...

My wife got a set for Christmas and was excited about them. Alas the unisex sizing even in a small was too big for her size 7.5 sneakers. No extra small model so back to EMS they went.

Devin McCourty and Gronk. Steelers????? Oh yeah the team that lost last week :)

I will qualify this by saying i am not a trail builder so am only making an observation. This past summer we hiked in Switzerland (Berner Oberland area). For our first week they had very heavy rain. Makes for spectacular waterfalls, but also lots of water for erosion. The trails there are...

Karen and I got fishing licenses. Two birds (fish) with one stone.

Wow, that is a response that a stay at home (for two more days) math teacher with too much time on his hands would give. :)
