I don't remember for sure, but I feel like I got a pillow at Mizpah last spring while the caretaker was there. Our group of 3 were the only ones there and we didn't have to ask. I don't bring my own pillow and don't remember needing to make one out of clothing or anything. I have no idea what...

I've already hiked all the trails on the map from the lower end to the higher end, but am doing that again. Remapping them for myself with my newer GPS. I also keep track of the trails I have hiked up in winter conditions (not just by date) and at night by headlamp. I'm also working on hiking...

In January I finished my goal of hiking all 67 New England 4Ks in the time frame of a year. So after that, I scaled back some to spend more time with my wife and daughter (born during the 67 in a year). I've still managed to bag 9 more peaks towards the NEHH, hike a handful of 4Ks, and do a...

I did the 67 in one year, and even that took some planning. I give credit to anyone that has done it in one winter or will do it in one winter.

You can see in the picture though that the trees are of different heights depending on which part of the patterns you are in. So it would be conceivable that the shorter trees are new growth growing up around dead trees that had been affected. I'm not discounting your thoughts either though as...

Waterfalls in the Woods

Killer view from South Kinsman

Date of Hike: 1/27/15 Trail Conditions: Some small downed trees after the cabin, but easy to get over/around. Lots of leaves in the woods road water bars. Watch your footing as you can't tell how deep they are. On the ridge there was a bit of mud that was mostly frozen over/solid, but also...

I admit I have fed them and even shown others how easy it is to get them to land on your hand with food. I don't see a huge deal with it personally, but the article you read probably discourages it because of the type of foods we feed them. Some animals don't digest "human" food well or aren't...

Many of the places named on Monadnock near the old Halfway House Site were named to appeal to the guests. There is no proof Thoreau ever hiked the Thoreau Trail there or sat at Thoreau's Seat. You can help support this by the fact that Ainsworth's Seat and Emerson's Seat are near by on the...

True, but it would depend on where in there they are logging. If they are going straight after the bridges, there would be no reason to open up the road on the right to the true trail head.

The branches were making the road a bit narrow when I was there last year. Unless things get trimmed back some, you might expect to get some small scratches down the side of your vehicles.

I have a few old maps from back when there were many more short trails (mostly around the halfway house area) and I don't recall seeing this on any of those maps. I've never read anything about a trail over there either. The only waterfall on the mountain I have been to is on the southern...

If it turns out to be her, I'm glad the family can finally get closure. It will be interesting to see if they release any more details about what they think happened or where the body was found.

She could have planned on spending the first and last night at Garfield Ridge Shelter. With a 5 day hike planned, I doubt she planned that many miles in the first and last day to get from the trail head to Guyot. I certainly agree though that more info would be useful. If nothing else, maybe...

Unfortunately, no. From the last paragraph of the article.... "The bar he carried has been installed at the top of Mount Elbrus, as a monument to his incredible feat."

I sprained a finger during a hike that took 9 months to finally go down enough so that I could comfortably put my wedding ring back on it. But that didn't sideline me. The only time I have really taken off from hiking was just over a month when my daughter was born. I only worked and helped...

Thanks for the feedback and congrats on finishing it. While I think I'd prefer the trail to be off the roads a bit more, it's still some great places to go through, don't get me wrong about that.

I've only hiked a few small sections of the trail up north while seeing other places, but what my uncle and I don't like about it is how much it follows logging/dirt roads and how the trail stays so close to Rt. 3 in some places (mostly Pittsburg). My family spends lots of time in the Colebrook...

I had to answer 3 simple questions going into Canada. Coming back, it took about 5 minutes per car (me included). They will ask similar questions at different times to see how you answer. I didn't have anything that really seemed to raise any particular attention to them other than why was I...
