Protected pocket There's a place and I think it's right there behind Jess's right hand where, when the water is this high, you can stand in a chest-high pool that is protected from the current by rocks. It's no bigger around than a trash barrel but what a cool place to stand in deep water...

Unburned grass in trail Any explanation for why the grass in the trail and next to it didn't burn in those places where the fire jumped the trail?

Please don't make DougPaul self conscious and thus limit his future posts. DougPaul, Bob Kittredge, Arghman and Waumbek have interests that really appeal to me and I benefit from their knowledge. I really look forward to their posts, along with those of many other posters. And, yes, I like to...

Listen to Arghman He will be banned from the area because physical disabilities. Others will be blocked because they don't have the money for tents and other equipment. There's an unattractive element of elitism in all of this.

The view of Mt. Washington from the dining room in the pro shop at the Mt. Washington Hotel is tops! Sounds like a line from that weird web site we were talking about last week.

Cheap shot at Boy Scouts Re Mark Schaefer's post: OK, I scrapped my original message in place of this one: The Boy Scouts have provided me, my brothers, my son, our grandson and many neighbors in those three generations with many wonderful opportunities and lessons, including outdoor...

Funkyfreddy I knew I should have gone to you for professional advice on how to train bats but I didn't and now I have neck sprain. They're hard to follow!

Gotta love goggle Looking for more info on the ghost town, Hastings, I googled and got sites for swingers, nightclubs, Christian women, single girls and where to play bingo in Hastings, N.H.

Welcome back Sorry to hear about your injury. A logger near me was killed yesterday when an ash tree he was cutting somehow broke off a 30-foot long, 1-foot diameter spar 12 feet above the cut. It fell on him. Dangerous work, for sure, but it's an outdoor job many of us wish we had. Don't go...

Any oxidized copper? If there was a mine on the creek, there should be turquoise oxidized copper ore in the stream and perhaps some exposed rock around it. If there is, where it stops appearing in the stream would be the point just above the mine. No?

Brown and Root There's a name that resonates with the Vietnam generation. I believe B&R built Cam Ranh Bay and was the top U.S. contractor in Vietnam. My son was on an anti-Halliburton rant when I asked him, who else is big enough to do those jobs? Bechtel (nice job on the Big Dig!!!) and who...

One time a moose bit my sister. Oh wait, that's a different forum.

Hey Stan Thanks for sharing!!!

Hey Neil My right elbow hurts when I do this ....

Thanks I don't think $2.50 is a lot to pay for a fail-safe hot drink in dicey environments. The only problem here is that it is a dehydrating caffeine product. Hope the company comes up with chicken soup, etc.

A P-38 http://www.georgia-outfitters.com/images/p38add.jpg can opener from WWII, an LL Bean Norwegian wool sweater from the 1960s and an old pack with no label that I keep returning to. I have some knee braces from the early 70s that might have prevented turning back on Gale River Trail and...

Atlantic White Cedar There are 30 locations containing Atlantic White Cedar in New Hampshire. This website (http://www.unh.edu/herbarium/AWC/Chamaecyparis.htm) gives an overview of a paper this group presented to the EPA. I wish there was access to the whole report. No mention of Chester, which...

The residue of design Talk about luck being the residue of design. You're lucky (and very skilled) to be able to take a picture as beautiful as that but think of all the work (climbing) and preparation and practice that went into putting you in that place to take that picture. It's stunning...

15 bombs a week on Minnesota? Do the math: North Dakota is approximately 350 miles across, from Williston to Grand Forks. At 30 mph, it would take a balloon launched near Williston 11 hours to exit the state and drop its pack, from the stratosphere, evidently in Minnesota. That's two drops a...

Garfield similar to Carrigain The old Garfield looks somewhat similar in construction to the old Carrigain tower. And Ten Peaks, yes, you could go into the enclosed Carrigain tower cab and sleep overnight. Don't know if it was legal but it was done. Good post, Roy.
