Over the years I bought a load of good stuff at EMS but only had one occasion to test out their customer service or "customer no-service" as the case may be. So a few years ago I put a good size hole in my -40 down bag:eek: (don't ask how;)) Now I wanted to get it repaired as I had i big trip...

I'm a tick magnet. I already had one stuck on me after hiking in CT on the last weekend in winter! I had to pry it off my ...ah, lets just say it was in a delicate area.:eek: Hope this doesn't mean a bad tick year. Stu

Meb, Great job...you rock! :cool: Cheers, Stu

Chip, believe it or not I have never been in the store! I don't get over that way very often but I do really need to check it out sometime. I buy most of my stuff online. You could call ahead to find out how many they have. Stu

If you're within driving distance of E. Hartford, CT, Cabela's is running a one-day sale on March 20th for the Garmin 60 CSX, @ $199.99. If you've been wanting one this might be the time to pull the trigger. I bought one about 6 months ago and am very pleased with it. Hope some folks can take...

Mark, You fought the Bonds and................YOU won! Good job! :p Stu

Tim, just wanted to personally thank you (and you're group) for the unbelievable job you guys did on the bushwack up the Ammo gully. It was an tremendous line up that steep section and it gave me the confidence to continue solo. Thanks again, Stu

Date: sat. 3/6 Conditions: Trail and bushwack are packed highways. About a 1/4 mile above the Mizpa cutoff junction the trail is lost in a maze of herd paths. Bushwack proceeds to climb south Pierce and then about 3/4 mile over to the summit of Pierce. Sorting out the herd paths made the trip a...

Date: Friday, 3/5 Conditions: Lots of snow up there. I followed earlier snowshoe track through 6-8" new or blown snow up to where the trail is lost. From there I was able to just barely follow previous groups bushwack up the gully. As mentioned in earlier thread, VERY steep and VERY difficult...

Nice! I especially like the shot of Franconia Ridge. I have a similar one on my desk at work. Oh, and FYI,.... you're never "done" with lists.:eek: Cheers, Stu

Hi Audrey, On my first long snowshoe hike this winter (Isolation), I also had a bit of hip pain:mad: after the hike. It lasted for several days!:eek: I'm chalking it up to getting older.:rolleyes:.....Stu

So sorry to hear this news. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, sending you good karma.

Very tough call! I think you will have to bring them because you won't know the conditions until the crux of the climb. I would not want to get that far in only to have to turn back or worse. Good luck on this and be safe. Cheers, Stu

Date of Hike: Mon. 12/28/09 Trails: Rocky Branch, Engine Hill bushwack, Isolation, Davis After all the rain Sunday I was apprehensive about the trail conditions and especially the stream crossing. I was glad to find the trail had refrozen overnight and with only a few inches of powder on top...

Very nice! I've never done these two but after viewing your pics, they are now on my short list.:D Cheers, Stu

Congratulations on getting Bondcliff. I attempted the Bonds last winter and also got turned around at the Bondcliff wind-tunnel. You could hear it roaring like a freight train from the last brook crossing.:eek:
