Thanks all! Ordered a pair of Dachstein mitts and received them today via snail-mail, only took 3 days. Nice quality and very tight weave. Also going to order a pair of the double mitts to replace mine, (when they get my size.) Cheers, Stu

Hi Beth, sent you an email. Stu

TEO - Thanks for the link, those look identical to mine. I'm going to order several. Maddy - I do have a knitting store near me that i'm going to check out. You are going to love the mittens. My fingers have never been cold with them. Cheers, Stu

Peakbagger, thats it! Now I can order a new pair, not cheap but worth it. Thanks for the link. Stu

Not so complicated for you! :rolleyes: I don't even sew my own buttons on my shirts. :p Cheers, Stu

Hi, I have a pair of "double" rag wool mittens (possibly "Dachenstein?), which I absolutley love. Bought these well over 20 years ago and wish I had bought 3 pair. They have some small holes (possibly by moths :(). Does anyone know where I can get these repaired (darned)? Are they still being...

Bob, Excellent job! Very glad to hear of your success. Cheers, Stu

Good job Earl, that trail can be tough to follow but you made it.

I have always used the screw-in clip attached to a shoulder strap on my pack. Never had a problem, although I do run a chest strap through the gps lanyard just in case. If the weather is bad (cold) I just put it inside a chest pocket or even inside an outer pocket of my pack. Never a problem...

I had the good fortune to have a fisher cross the Wilderness Trail in front of me. Very cool. Made my day!

Took the normal route up and back via Liberty Spring Trail. Weather conditions were not as bad as forecast, basically a beautiful snowshoe route on a cold winter day! On the return trip a large group used sleds to smooth and harden the trail. :D Even though there was zero ice I noted many...

Well for what its worth Im also planning on hiking something in Franconia Notch on Sunday. For me the deciding factor will be the wind-speed. If its only around 5-10 mph I will probably attempt Liberty and possibly Flume. I think that when your group reaches LL, it will be obvious who is done...

Thanks Thanks for the opinions. Right now im stuck with the AT&T family plan. Knowing how bad the coverage is up north I have a tough decision to make, although the service is actually very good in my local area. I am optimistic that with the new competition AT&T may be forced to...

Hey everyone, 1st of let me say that I dont use a cell phone right now when hiking. In fact I never carry a cell phone (only used for car emergencys). But my situation may be changing. I do most of my hiking solo including winter and im geting some pressure to check in from time to time with my...

Date of Hike: Dec 30, 2010 Trail Conditions: Snow amounts varied from 6-12” on the approach to 20-30” up on BC Tr., especially after Bond. Mixed ice/rock on Bondcliff and over the ridge. The usual amount of blow-down, not a problem and the stream crossings were easy. The Bondcliff Trail is now...

Nice! Hey Tim, good to meet you and see Bob & Gerri again. Nancy was good to usI It really is a beautiful spot. I'll have to return sometime in warmer weather to check out the falls. I will say that I didn't expect to see anyone that morning, let alone people I knew. But it did make for a nice...

No sightings but I have seen tracks and "sign" in Tunxis S.F.

Very nice foliage shots. The best time of the year. Cheers, Stu

Earl, you and Sue are crazy!:eek: Great slide-show, thanks for bringing back some memories. I'm headed back up in September, can't wait! Cheers, Stu
