    A bad expierence in the woods today......

    BobandGeri - I read this after just getting back from NH, and yesterdays hike was guess where? Well, must have been too cold for hunters, and most hikers too. I met Bob Kilham in the Reservation Rd entrance and the first people we ever saw were 2 hrs later at the foot of No. Pawtuckaway coming...

    Peak views question

    Friday up on the summit of Monadnock we had a spectacular view - Pack Monadnock, Wachusett, Quabbin, the Berkshires, the Whites and the Boston skyline. But I was trying to get a view of Sunappee, Kearsarge, Cardigan and couldn't place them. A few years ago I had found a website that gave a...

    Best forecast for Lafayette?

    So Maybe Mohamed drives really REALLY fast ..... :- ) well great advice; as an avid sea kayaker I know the good weather links but it didn't occur to me that Mt.Wash had advance predictions. Thats great - we'll just get up when we can, and hike the appropriate places as the weather allows It...

    Best forecast for Lafayette?

    My friend Sue & I hiked Old Bridle Trail yesterday morning up to the hut. My highest elevation, btw It was a great hike and good to see what the hut is like. It was 30 degrees, relatively calm, foggy & spitting snow. We heeded warnings of 50-60mph at the summit, so passed on the last 1000'...

    Any Experience with New Personal Tracking Device, i.e. SPOT?

    Can user be tracked? I think the answer is no; I'm pretty sure Can the user be tracked? Wondering if a hiker - kayaker - sailor can be tracked by friends / family back home? Appears not, only can initiate location by the user. So, in the case of the lost hunter in Bear Brook State Park -...

    Do you like to snowshoe / wear snowshoes?

    Carole- I was on the trail Thursday - at sunrise - in Plymouth MASSACHUSETTS! with a foot of snow under me. Got out for an hour and was in heaven! The tracking was intersting - a big buck had come thru, coyote and what was particularly interesting on the loop trail I was on - was what I...

    Blue Hill Reservation

    rocksnrolls is right on. The red trail up Great Blue is the superhighway of the blue hills - I'll bet 60% of the hiking in this 6000 acres is up this 20 min stretch. But don't dare overlook the rest of the park - many many miles of serene beauty just minutes off the highway. And its well...

    Parazz website closing-new options?

    onestep- I like that site, and your pictures. Looks like you've been on it for awhile - I like the speed of the slideshows, and the simplicity - plus the pictures are formatted to fit my screen better than I generally see. PeterM
