I think what we eat has a big effect on our health thus this thread awhile back. And exercise is of great benefit expecially if outdoors. I have always had good health and hope to keep it that why as the years add on by eating healthy and getting outside rain or shine, having a positive...

“Many people do not know that mushroom identification is extremely difficult--not at all like identifying, say, trees. There are about 200 (natural) species of trees in North America, and a good field guide can usually help you figure out what tree you're looking at. In contrast, no one knows...

Littered? Surely you jest.

Actually, this is from the side. The stems are not laying on the ground but are upright with the one on the right curved over.

Funny, I have met more while hiking alone then when in a car or with others. It is a thrilling, sometimes heart-stopping, experience, but I have never felt threatened even when I almost walked into the backside of one in early November. I was looking down at the trail and just happened to glance...

“Motorists are being rerouted around a major road washout in Franconia, New Hampshire…Route 3 is closed between Trudeau Road and Interstate 93.” http://www.wmur.com/news/17085851/detail.html# Plan accordingly.

I came to the same conclusion many summers ago thinking I was in great shape for a traverse in the Squam Range because I had been biking regularly (and not hiking that Spring) and had to bail out way early from knee pain. Never again!

Quite the structure!! I have a more current photo, but it is winter and not as closeup to see the difference. Maybe someone has something recent?

Rare species I was afraid to step in it because it looked like, well …. But looking closer I saw it was a plant. It is actually quite stiff and you can see three stems each having dried flower heads along them. A bit of searching revealed it is ‘squawroot’ which is mentioned elsewhere on this...

Can anyone verify if this is mountain sandwort?

northern highbush blueberry (vaccinium corymbosum) mountain holly (nemopanthus mucronatus)

more berries: black chokeberry (photinia melanocarpa), with blueberries in background bunchberry, dogwood (cornus canadensis) bristly sarsaparilla (aralia hispida) red cherry aka pin or fire cherry (prunus pensylvanica) juneberry aka early shadbush, serviceberry (amelanchier laevis)...

At 8 I couldn’t leave the yard. At 16 I didn’t have a car. At 21 I had no money. At 34 I had no babysitter. At 50 'father time' said it was too late. I said, “Eat my dust!”

Sadly, most of the unprepared hikers I see are adults 'who didn't get the memo'. http://www.wmur.com/news/17038919/detail.html

First one is spreading dogbane. Second one, yes, rose twisted stalk.

Looks like elderberry (first picture) and rose twisted stalk (second picture).

I'm not disagreeing with you. I think the bumps for Shaw, Roberts and others look like they have been leveled. Thus the carriage turn-arounds on each. Here's a interesting quote: "The ring dike we see today is less than one-third of its original height, yet it stands out squarely from the...

That is possible but I don't think he would want to lower the elevation of his view from his house much. A lot of blasting and rock work was also done for all the carriage roads. This is one example of the amount used along the way:

If you had a hard time finding it like me it's on page 6 "Transcendental Tourists" Regarding the article - page 2 'Today'sWord': grok. Seems appropriate
