Does that mean sitting in the steamy, warming room was smarter than getting into the hotter shower, DougPaul?

Sleeping Bear is a great writer as are several other posters on this thread, one of the best ever. Contrasting opinions are well expressed. Arghman has done a lot of work and discovered -- bureaucratic fog. Something to think about: There is a lot of -- what, underutlized? -- Wilderness already...

Insanity on the run Glad you mentioned Foresman's article because it shows how whacked out you can get when you try to label a former industrial site a Wilderness. We've all had these conversations before but the govt. is going to do what it wants or what the most powerful ask it to do. A guy...

Why Andrew why? Three little words that sum up one of the biggest impediments to getting out there. Congratulations on your accomplishment.

Making a living How much will this impact local people's efforts to make a living and how much do local people support this expansion of Wilderness? As to the removal of shelters, I've said it before but it bears repeating as the subject has come up again: Those in favor of removing the...

Good stuff to know I got stuck for about two hours in Dover, Del., coming back from Ocean City on a NASCAR event. World's largest array of RVs!

Ppd. rain Came home to heavy fog last night, too dangerous to drive long distance. It is pouring rain in Trenton at 6:30 a.m., really coming down. Perfect day to do paperwork, laundry, etc. If you go, be careful. Unbelievable! It was 51F at Pittsfield Airport t 2 a.m. on 1/14/06! Now, it's...

It was a dark and stormy night I'm thinking about the noon start and the rainy weather turning to snow. I went up the Alander trail from the park HQ last year at this time and in this weather and it got very dark shortly after 2 p.m. The ground was a mix of ice, water and mud, very slippery. In...

Our favorite kind of weather Bluebird days, oui. Soft gentle all-day snow, hooray. But, this for Saturday in NW CT: Day Rain / Thunder 44°F Precip 90% Wind: WSW 10 mph Max. Humidity: 84% Sunrise: 7:20 AM ET Night Snow Overnight Low 16°F Precip 80% Wind: WNW 15 mph Sunset: 4:46 PM ET...

To Pete Hickey "Ever have a bowl of cherrios with Mountain Dew for breakfast?" No, and it looks like you avatar cat is having issues with it too!

Hmmmm I wonder since he's omitting the Haverhill PD, the original investigators, from the lawsuit if he isn't getting important info from someone in the department. Since he's also gone to the expense of a lawsuit, it's unlikely he knows where his daughter is. There were some counter offensives...

Otoh This is the formula for how you can get to spend the last 10 years of your life insensate with Alzheimer's, draining first your family's accumulated savings and then sucking up public funds. PSSSST: Don't tell anyone, but everyone dies.

They once made someone instantly poor, didn't they? This is called correcting a wrong.

The Appalachian Trail Conservancy has a page about hunting on the trail: http://www.appalachiantrail.org/site/c.jkLXJ8MQKtH/b.795531/k.AE1B/Hunting_and_the_AT.htm

Blueridge, love your avatar Hey, Whiny Diver, that'll teach you to mess with Derian Hatcher. And, who taught you how to throw that punch at Forsberg, Dom DeLuise?

The AT was not conceived and has never been managed as a Wilderness. Rather, it is a path that gives a view of life around it. It goes through the most beautiful places in the Eastern U.S. but it also goes through towns and brownfields. You can sleep in city parks, monasteries and police...

Being outside when it's snowing is the weather equivalent of strawberry ice cream for me. Someone says, "It's snowing," and I'm out the door like a shot. Always been that way. Another favorite: skating on a lake under a winter full moon. Great date, two sticks and a puck.

Maddi fled the country and left a messsage: Your checks are belong to us. She's a saint to do this. The organizational tasks alone are overwhelming.

Get-A-Grips??? Jeff-B posted a link for the Campmor page for Stabilicers. On the same page are three products by Get-A-Grip, the Ultra, the Advanced and the Extreme. Has anyone tried these? What are pros and cons? One of them is 25% off right now.

It's funny I'm trying to wangle out of a few things so I can make this hike on Friday. Is anyone else going to be up there?
