This might be the week to combine hiking and kayaking, if you're willing to schlep a boat up the trail and foolhardy enough to ride it back down in the torrent. :eek: Ice went out locally this weekend – I'm now twenty-four hours late with my paddle oiling ...

Haven't done them all, but it's a darn good list and hard to imagine improving on.

Honesty compels me to note that you have a lot of company in that. Present company excepted, but that's 'cuz my relatives across the water would start throwing sharp things at me if I joined you in that.

What pinnah said. 'Cept friends don't let friends carry French knives into the woods :rolleyes: ;) : Scandinavian knives, written by the leading U.S. importer of the same.

I already own a piece of Sunapee. Unlike CNL Lifestyle Properties, which is merely a sub-lessee of the premises. ;)

If any of you have a grip on the weather for the weekend at hand, do let the NWS know. They've been waffling with this particular one more than an IHOP franchisee. I can't recall a situation this winter that has had them this flummoxed so close to the event...

Noted. Twice, to meet the 10-character minimum.

I'm 220 pounds without a pack. I have been grateful for every centimeter of my 195 Annums this winter. But then, I cut my teeth on 215 cm Bonnas. :)

This is not a trip report. This is an article worthy of being published! Kudos.

Get your groove on, man: Groovy secrets. :p ;)

I've recently reverted to putting a felted wool insole in my winter boots of all types. It adds a considerable amount of warmth and was standard practice when I was a kid growing up in Minnesota. I put them under the insole that comes with the boot and adjust my sock thickness to accommodate...
