    Fall colors and seasonal change thread

    All, Now that we are firmly in a new season and things seem to be progressing quite well with colors this year, can anyone report specific good folliage anywhere on a hike they have been on? This past weeks cold temps have changed about 50% of the maples and birches in the Enfield, NH area. I...

    The Pemi Wilderness--Some History

    It contained some truly amazing forest before it was cut. The area around Anderson Brook and Cedar Brook produced massive red spruce. One thing I never found was if natives americans ever actally lived there. I like to think how massive the area used to be before the Kanc was build. To combine...

    Mt. Carrigain via Cobb's Stairs – The East Face

    Thank you for making it sound like at least a challenge. That area is in it's own..

    Mt. Carrigain via Cobb's Stairs – The East Face

    I love how bushwhacking up Carrigain for the day wasn't enough and that you took what sounded like a stroll down to Carrigain Pond and down the valley. How in the heck did you do that in one day? Just going to Carrigain Pond is an adventure in itself. Also ascending down to the Sawyer Valley is...

    First snow of the 2009/2010 season!

    Mohamed I wouldn't jump the gun yet on that forecast, there is a solid line of showers pushing into VT right now that should hold together enough to get to Mount Washington. The temps up there are 36 right now, and it won't take much cold air to force them down. I bet with this airmass by Friday...

    Pemi Wilderness Bridge Removal Project

    The bridge was historic, and in there lies the conflict. I can remember the first time I crossed that bridge and marveled at it's engineering while I swayed back and forth on it towering above the river. A glimpse into the past of this wilderness and what we have done to conquer it. I will both...

    Untreated Ethan Pond Water?

    Just sit back and hope for the best. The stream leading into Ethan Pond comes from a small bog at the height of land, whatever is potentially wrong with it would most likely come from there. Looking at it though, I think it is free of beavers, which lowers the chance of getting anything. -Mattl

    a few recent moose pics

    Great stuff, looks like those moose were nice and healthy this year. In about two weeks those bulls won't be so happy to hang around each other.

    Little River headwaters

    I always been very interested in the upper portions of the Little River. After the North Twin Trail leaves the Little River, it is trailless all the way to it's headwaters, for what looks like 3+ miles. From what I can tell, it is the largest stream/river without a trail in the Whites or NH. I...

    Can sunspots and Acorns be wrong???

    Yeah, one thing the Almanac said was below average temps in the Northeast and below average snowfall which in some ways is OK with me. I say that not because I don't love snow, which I do, but because when you generally have a very snow winter, it can be warmer as well and prone to that annoying...

    Carrigain Pond Aug 28 2009

    Nice report. You aren't kidding on the branches being tricky on Carrigain Branch, we took the wrong one once and ended up on the western side of the Captain. Even though it was .5 of a mile from the pond, we never made it because of how tangled and thick it is up there. -Mattl

    Rain Rain

    Yeah, rainfall has been well above normal this summer. Most streams that dry up in the summer are flowing like it's early spring. Things are lush!
