    Detained: Hikers in wrong place, wrong time

    Charge? I wonder if they'll get charged for a rescue? :confused: "That will be $2,186,733.01 - Unfortunately all our Blackhawk helos were tied up, so we had to hire one from the Brits." Steve

    Adirondack bbq

    Where to hike on Saturday? I will be arriving on Friday and am looking for something to keep me out of the beer cooler until Saturday evening. I am open to suggestions and would be more than happy to tag along with anyone who wants company. I'm not particular as far as summits go, since I...

    The end of a long journey

    Congrats! Long ago I broke my leg in a motorcycle accident and spent roughly 10 months in a cast. I remember how hard it was and how much time it took to be able to again do the things that I took for granted before the injury. Congratulations on conquering Pierce - and your injury. Steve

    Looking for a little "Boot Help"

    Powermatic 200 I bought the Powermatic 200 because it was one of the few traditional leather backpacking boots that came in a narrow width. They are pretty comfortable although I could use a bit more width in the toe box. The sole has much better traction than my REI Monarchs which are made by...

    Polarizing filters, Sometimes you win, lose, or chose

    Canon A6xx My daughter uses a Canon A630(?) with just such an adapter. She has a polarizer and macro lenses that she uses with the adapter. It works quite well, although there are some limitations caused by the length of the adapter (it partially shadows the flash and the optical...

    Owl's Head to #13 Falls (Lincoln Brook Trail)

    Do-able this past weekend After seeing my Trail Conditions entry of a few weeks ago, one of the non-member readers contacted me last week with questions about the hike. Yesterday he e-mailed to say that he, his wife, and their canine companion did, in fact, complete the trip without incident...

    AMC White Mountain Guide Online - Accurate Coordinates?

    Not an answer, but... This doesn't answer your question, but as a practical matter, the slide's departure from the Lincoln Brook Trail is easy to identify... someone, apparently thinking it would be helpful, had hacked a crude arrow-shaped blaze into the trunk of a tree at the point where the...

    Is Homebrew allowed? As a VFTT noob, I'm hoping to make it out and connect the avatars with real people. I put two batches of Homebrew in to ferment last weekend (Brown Ale and a Belgian-style Golden Ale). Would anyone object if I brought some along? :D (only if they turn out good - I know...
