I can't answer your kid related questions... but there is a terrific campground right outside of Baxter State Park called Hidden Springs Campground. It's one of my favorites for car camping and is located about 10 to 15 minutes down the road from the southern entrance of Baxter State Park. You...

I am definitely among the "love my tarptent" crew. I was surprised to hear your comments about condensation... I've never had a problem at all. (I actually started with a Eureka solitaire as my solo tent.... that one actually rained on me because there was so much condensation!!) - Ivy

It figures... this is one of the few Weds. nights I have to work! :) Hope there will be more of these and I'll be able to join you guys in the future. - Ivy

Thanks Andrew! :) - Ivy

Thank you so much Ellen! - Ivy

Has anyone hiked Monadnock via the Dublin trail recently? I'm curious to know if Old Troy Road is passable to the trailhead (the southern NH guidebook indicates it can be impassable in the spring.) I have a Honda civic that I'm hoping to drive down there, so I don't have particularly high...

Oooh, if it's on a Wednesday, I might have a chance of getting out of work early enough to make it. Have kayak.... will travel. - Ivy

Such cute pictures! Glad you're back out on the trail (and with your favorite little hiking partner to boot!) - Ivy

We were on Hedgehog long after you left... we were there around 12:30. It would have been fun to bump into a fellow VFTT'er. :) - Ivy

Thanks rocksnrolls for organizing this hike... it was lots of fun. Can't wait for the snow to finally melt though! :) I'm looking forward to heading back for Square Ledge in the fall -- after the falcon closure season -- to see if we were on the right track or not. My pictures are here. - Ivy

Very nice... Mt. Rogers was one of my favorite state highpoints (so far and probably due to the ponies) while Kentucky was definitely one of my least favorites! :) Glad to hear M&M is still faring well and enjoying her hike. - Ivy

She has a journal on trailjournals.com. Click here - Ivy

The AMC website says June 1 to Oct. 15... though I would be surprised if caretakers weren't out there Memorial Day weekend. - Ivy

Congratulations! :)

If you're looking for something with a view that isn't a 4K in NH... how about a hike on the 52 With a View list. Lots of good hikes to choose from there! - Ivy

Congratulations David! I hope none was as "interesting" as our Cabot hike so long ago. Here is the correct link for the pictures, unless there is another coldfeet on webshots. :) - Ivy
