I had a similar question a year ago and called the Ranger who I believe is stationed at October Mt. All the trails are open for use. There is an area with several buildings that is the Park HQ. If you take a right while heading south and double back on the service road in that area you come to a...

For three days I've been thinking Mt. Major, Mt. Major, why do I know that name, not in the Whites, hmmm. The first mountain I ever hiked was Monadnock. Newton Mass schools used to take each fifth-grade class for a week to Peterborough. My class went in January, lots of snow and we climbed...

There's no grapefruit on Ste. Catherine St.

Great avatar Waumbek. Recent picture? Are you still seeing bears this late in the year?

Herbert Young There is a memorial to Herbert Young 1.4 miles from the start of the Ammonoosuc Trail.. My recollection is he was a Dartmouth student on a 1928 outing when a storm hit. His group headed back down but they were overtaken by heavy snow and he tired and died. Can't see it from the...

The paranormal stuff in Hockomock is quirky but what is undeniable is that Hockomock is Ground Zero for S.E. Massachusetts' recurring equine encephalitis epidemics.

I am totally devoid of challenging retorts to a smiling man with a happy chlild on his shoulders in a beautiful setting. Hope you win.

Mt. Washington and Ball Crag or Great Gulf, depending on which feature you are referring to.

Hmmmm Well, like a lot of things, it's good and bad. If you checked that site, you could see how I could get confused. OTOH, I went back to Google on Philadelphia Peak and learned quite a bit, including that Vermont used to have a Philadelphia but it got absorbed by its neighbors. I found...

Great trip report and great pictures. You guys made good time early, key to a successful trip. Who's that walking up Washington with no hat on? Jessbee, you've got the bug now. You'll never forget that hike.

Railroad tunnel Is there also a railroad tunnel there" It would appear so from this website: http://gazetteer.hometownlocator.com/DisplayStateFeatures.cfm?FeatureType=tunnel&StateCode=VT Several other sites seem to indicate the same thing.

Redcloud Click on Kevin's name, then View Public Profile, then All Posts by Kevin. You'll see he is one of the most helpful and supportive people on the site and that he often mixes in some humor. I believe he's out West but he took the time to give an answer that was consistent with a recent...

I love the idiot park manager who says no "no climbing" sign is necessary because you should be able to determine the danger for yourself. This case will probably be dismissed because of this.

Backup system Like Masshysteria I learned m&c in Boy Scouts. We had scoutmaster who escaped the Nazis by walking out of Hungary. He was excellent. He taught us something beyond map skills which helps me to this day. Always know where the sun is all times every day. Where is it at 10 a.m. on...

Forestnome, indeed beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I moved to Eastern Pa. shortly after 3 Mile Island. It's less than 2 hours west of me. The Limerick nuclear plant is about 45 minutes due west of me. Salem is due south. They scare the crap out of me. The technology is dated, the plants...

Not only is this thread rife with NIMBYism, it's also full of NIYBYism!!! I was not able to determine who owned Redington from the prior posts here so, taking Windfarmer's recommendation, I googled the website, got the company phone number and called and guess what? Guess who owns Redington...

Great trip report. Yam was really looking forward to seeing this place, eh Wu? But, but, your girlfriend is cursed? Or is a curse? Very unusual nickname.

You sounded depressed in other posts this week and I don't think it's the first time I noticed that in your posts. A lot of good people put up some good suggestions here already. One that I would consider before undertaking a move would be to see a doctor and try to determine the cause of your...

Hey Tom, or anyone else: Does anyone know how Rock Rift got its name? I can see from pictures that it appears to be near a mountain gap that the trains went through but I was wondering if there is a unique geological feature, like the rifts in Eastern Africa.

I'll miss the old Calais bridge and watching the jumping fish hitting flies at dusk. Cool place. Is this going to be Interstate grade all the way or a hodgepodge of upgraded highway projects? For instance, will it continue to veer north to Farmington or will we be able to drive straight through...
