--M: but how about Waterville Campground: good reviews? It's a smaller, woodsy campground down close to the Mad River... My sense is it tends to be fairly quiet, especially on weeknights. The other alternative would be Osceola Vista up off the Tripoli Road (actually a touch closer to the...

ForestGnome: Roads through their habitat are a part of their life and this youngster just got a scare without injury. Unfortunately, that seems to have backfired for one moose down in Waterville Valley early Saturday AM... we've been seeing the same yearling bull very consistently in the same...

Good luck, Grouseking... I will miss your snow reports.

Guthook... you'll end up coming down either the Mt. Tecumseh trail, or via the Sosman Trail to the top of the ski area, then down via the ski trails and work-road. Once you're at the base lodge, truck down the access road to Lot 4, turn left and walk a couple hundred feet to Pipeline Trail...

Mt. Tecumseh Trail to Northside cut-out 7/12/2009 Trail Conditions: Lower section surprisingly dry and well drained. Upper third to the Northside Chair cut-off had numerous mucky sections that required some careful footwork to avoid chewing up the surface more than necessary. Stream crossings...

Hi Guthook... I can try on a couple of these... -Waterville Valley, NH I'll be coming down from Tecumseh into Waterville Valley, hopefully picking up the maildrop and then tenting at one of the USFS campgrounds. Is there an outdoors gear store that might accept mail drops? Just name/location...

Congratulations, Mohamed... how did it go today?

Heads up if you're planning to hike in the Waterville Valley area on Saturday 7/11 -- there will be a triathlon starting at 7:30am (registration starts at 5:30am). Local officials are expecting some traffic impact. Expect a lot of bicycles on 49 up and down to Campton, as well as runner...

I'm with you Bob(s)... when we lived in MA, we could see five-six-seven shows at once from our widow's walk, but they were all very far away... These days, we like to be right down on the pond with good friends when they shoot the 'works straight overhead. It is literally a moving experience...

Good thing you thought to invite Forestgnome to the party to capture the action.

Tecumseh or Noon Peak for Waterville Valley 'works You could try Tecumseh from the top of the ski area (High Country) or several places on the trails. It would be a relative easy walk down, too. Much more challenging would be Noon Peak, where you could sit on the ledges looking back toward...

By the same token, I respect the writer for such a self-critical, no-BS appraisal of his own situation, even if only in hindsight. I like to think that at least a few readers of the Eagle-Tribune sports page will read it and walk away with a valuable lesson. Mr. Dyer's no-nonsense article is...

I have been saying to MFurgal64 all week, if this was February, we'd be doing the Happy Dance... the radar looks like a giant, stalled Nor'Easter sitting in the Gulf of Maine, pumping band after band of moisture ashore. Looks almost like the "feeder bands" coming off a tropical system. And of...

Sorry for your loss, Paradox... she sounds like a wonderful companion, and I am sure she will be missed.

Can't necessarily blame loggers for those carcasses on the logging roads. It took me few times to figure it out, but there is a clearing about 200 yards up the Old Waterville Rd off Rt 49 in WV where a new, dead moose turned up every few months. At first I thought it was a Tarzanesque moose...

Livermore Trail to Height-of-Land / Old Skidder Trail -- mountain biking Trail Conditions: Generally very good. Evidence of recently-cleared blow-downs up above North Slide. A few washed out areas -of no concern to hikers but requiring a little bit of forethought if you're coming down fast...

Yep... try a "SweatVac" skull-cap. I wear one under my mountain biking helmet all summer, and when I hike on warm days. It does a great job of managing moisture on your bean, though you do have to stop and ring it out on humid days (much to the enduring disgust of Mrs. DrewKnight). Here's an...

It's funny that you posted this today, Rickie... I had an odd, parallel conversation with my older brother last night... Brother: "Did you hear that Dad and Cathie had a bear in the back yard yesterday AM?" Me: "Yeah. Cool, huh?" Brother: "Not really. I asked him if they called someone. Dad...

No doubt they tranquilized it and removed it because they were afraid that a moose at full-lope could make some of their thoroughbreds look kinda silly. That, or they were afraid he'd mix it up with some of the fillies with indeterminate results.

Haven't ridden FOMBA yet, but hear great things. Ditto Bear Brook State Park in Allentown. Up north, you can find some good rides, including lift-served stuff if you swing that way (Waterville Valley has some, as does Bretton Woods; Highlands is a full-on mountain bike park). If you want...
