Very bummed that the weather tomorrow Sat 5/21 looks cloudy and thus the full moon (which happens to coincide with our anniversary) is probably not going to be in view. I've asked for full moon hike locations a few years ago with consensus that Kearsage North and Avalon are decent full moon...

Anyone hiked Bridal Veil Falls this winter, especially in the last few weeks, and can comment on the parking situation? Plowed/unplowed? drive-overable in a family minivan? Taking a seasoned summer/new to winter hiker with us tomorrow and trying to pick something fun that isn't a killer and...

Thanks for the trail work, Guthook. Such a fabulous hike. We did this on Columbus Day and after driving Caribou Valley Road and it's lovely half-rotted bridges a few weeks prior, we were pleasantly surprised at these big new concrete bridges. We parked after the 2nd bridge and walked on the road...

Thanks all. We did make it all the way to the metal gate in the family minivan on Sun 9/6. The dry weather meant no mud and better driving conditions. But the one rotted bridge at slightly beyond mile 2.0 made me gasp and is going to give way before long. The many large rocks can be largely...

Anyone been on Caribou Valley Road in Maine recently? Hoping to bag the Crockers tomorrow and curious if the family minivan will make it down the road. It's pretty dry in the area lately but there's still the sketchy bridge issue IIRC. Many thanks!

So sorry, but know he made a difference I've so enjoyed all your and Lauky's adventures these many years. Your highly descriptive texts taught me how to think like a hiker, what to look for in each trail and how to guide my little ones when we were new. There's something about seeing the world...

Was surprised given recent warmup that Lincoln Gap Road in Warren Vt - with a Long Trail access point to Mts Ellen and Abraham - remained closed as of yesterday 4/12/15. Road was pretty muddy as far as we went. Passing this along in case anyone else is doing those peaks.

Dave - on the FB 4,000 Footer Club page yesterday 2/6 morning, Kate Verin said the Mt Kinman lot has not been plowed. This morning Adam Calnan said he was going there today and would report back. FYI. I was there 1/18 and it was plowed fine but that's of no help to you now.

Date of Hike: Sun 11/9/14 Trail Conditions: leaves, leaves and more leaves, which given the wetness could be slippery and obscure underlying rocks for a few ankle-twisters. Minor mud pits down low. All water crossings were non-issues. Trace snow starting at the Stony Brook crossing which is I...

Date of hike: Sun 10/5/14 Trails: Old Speck Trail, Mahoosuc Trail Special equipment: none Conditions: lots of wet slippery leaves on initial 1.1 mile section before upper Eyebrow Trail junction which made an otherwise manageable trail a little more challenging. Surprisingly few mud pits and...

Past peak in Grafton Notch yesterday with most sugar maples down and lots of leaves on the trail - but still beautiful.

Black Mountain Burger in Lincoln is fabulous and just moved across the strip mall from its former location to more than double the space. Our go-to place this summer when in the Franconia area. Great 1/2 lb burgers, homemade baked beans and 30+ brews. (Not all on tap).

Spread the word - here's a hike for folks with autism, Asperger's Syndrome, their loved ones, or any other specially abled person who might find as much peace and capability in journeying on the trails as we have. PM me if you'd like more. Thanks...

RESCHEDULED due to forecast rain tomorrow - new date Sunday May 18. http://www.meetup.com/Autism-Hikes/events/179352322/?a=cr1_grp&rv=cr1&_af_eid=179352322&_af=event

By Sat 5/3 - sorry

Hi All - reminder that Autism Hikes! has an event for individuals with autism and their loved ones for Sunday May 4 at 10 am ET, originally set for Welsh & Dickey. We'll make a call in the next 24 hours as to whether to move the location given rain making the slabs likely very slick, OR...

Perhaps everyone knows this but I just noted in yesterday's rainy day foray to Littleton NH that the Village Bookstore closed its doors. http://caledonianrecord.com/main.asp?SectionID=180&SubSectionID=778&ArticleID=109217 So bummed. In addition to a great hiking book, map and outdoor adventure...

Our new group Autism Hikes is sponsoring an autism-friendly walk in the woods on Sunday, May 4 at Welsh & Dickey. More details to follow but please spread the word to any families or individuals affected by autism who might like their special individual to give it a go with like-minded families...

Thanks all. We chose Indian Head but it rained that night til 8 pm. The hubby and I were kind of inclined to go then but we had some first timers with us that evening who weren't keen on starting out that late with headlamps and all. So we enjoyed glimpses of moonlight from (my little personal...

Great thoughts all, especially the topography considerations at moonrise which probably makes Lonesome Lake not the best. We'd picked a hotel in the Lincoln NH hotel for the night but I might change it based on above suggestions. And most certainly spikes are in order but we don't have...
