    Guns on the trail

    Grey J : There are those who are collectors, target shooters and competitive users. I am all three. So I disagree that Guns are used only for killing. It is standard practice for law enforcement sometimes to shoot at the Mass of the body to stop a person so to speak, rather than just to kill...

    Guns on the trail

    Dug: All good reasons to carry and yes in pack is best so you don't scare those afraid of guns. I have carried when working alone doing maint. because of Rabid Fox's at the time, and I do have a permit. I think the word '"tool" is what is in question and yes a gun is a tool but not for trail...

    Replacement bridge on Mt Pemi Trail

    I was going to ask if that bridge is on the Mt. Pemigewasset trail that leaves from the visitors center?. The title says Mt. Pemi ?. As you know Trailwrights has been working on that trail and for some reason that spot does not look familiar. Getting too old I guess. Anyway, we have taken out...

    Belknap Rage Killer - The "Valley View" Trail

    You are correct. At least you knew what you were in for. We debated many times to close that trail but by not having signs that may lure unsuspecting scramblers near the jcts. decided to keep it. It is a challenge to be sure and pass at your own risk. We will probably be chastised for having it...

    Mt .Pemigewassett report with Trailwrights

    A turn out of 9 Trailwrights and 1 friend of Trailwrights made for a nice work day getting some badly needed erosion and trail Improvements completed.
