    Rescues In The Mt. Washington Area - 10/06/2007

    I wonder if Fish and Game is actually charginbg some of these people for being lost. Not these incidents in particular, but reading reports in the Union Leader about folks hiking and getting lost after dark, and then calling to get "bailed out" by F and G is intriguing. Do they know the days...

    Meals Ready to Eat

    Military MRE's are all right.........just heavy to carry in a pack with 60 pounds of gear in an ALICE pack, rifle, flak vest....UGHHH :eek: One used to give you 3000 calories, so eating alot of them would pack on some pounds.

    NH Traffic during weekday mornings

    Compared to MA its a non-issue. Watch for speed traps in MA between exit 26-28 on Route 3 in MA. Then at the NH border where the "Border Patrol" of MA and NH troopers often sit, especially on weekends. The next area is at exit 7-8 along the Everett in Nashua. NPD is merciless and will nail...

    Cannon, NE Cannonball, N. Kinsman, S. Kinsman 7/26/2007

    Interesting TR! I also did that same hike, only in reverse, finishing up on Cannon and then heading out via the Hi-Cannon trail to Lafeyette. It was also blistering hot, dusty, humid day when I did it. It appears the KR Trail still lives up to its well earned rep! :) Congrats on bagging 4...

    "I Like IKE hike"....and the Sun FINALLY shines!!! :))

    I was finally able to grab a day in the middle of the week, Tuesday, and head north to the Whites for some fun hiking. This vacation day actually coincided with the SUN actually shining in full glory. :) So hopefully my streak of zero visibility and rainy days in effect since last September...
