I bought a pair of Revos when my binding broke on my current pair and I needed a set before the next weekend. Two day shipping, couldn't find the same as what I already had at the time, no time for warranty work, and a backup sets of shoes is good (let's face it, they will always break in...

J. E. Henry... that way maybe I could convince him to have his logging team do something so that Owl's head would have a view. Leave some bare rock or something where trees wouldn't grow back. (This suggestion is mostly meant as a joke, but the thought popped into my head the other day)

Both times I have hiked this route during the week I didn't see a single person. Did it this spring in the afternoon after working a half day. There are no real steep or hard sections this route and only one (really low) water "crossing" to worry about near the start. On a nice weather day...

I think it depends on a few details about the hike. Which peak(s) are we hiking? Thoreau was mentioned and I think he would be great to hike with on Monadnock. He spent lots of time there and had an admiration for the mountain. Other notables had the same feelings for other mountains. Also...

I've thought for a while the climb up towards Wildcat D was just a cruel joke to the AT hikers. Couldn't they have found a way to make the trail go to the hut up 19 Mile Brook Trail? I know that they couldn't without some cutting and a bridge.

Nice trip report with great information about your routes. Good pictures too. While hiking there this summer I spent some time wondering how hard the peaks would be in winter. I can confirm the tower was standing on Aug 9, 2014

Friday I hiked the Wildcats and on the way there the radio was talking about how well traffic was moving with some people still on vacation. After the hike, one of the first news stories I heard was about the state confirming 35 cars involved in 2 crashes near/in Ashland with one tractor...

Sunday 12/21/14 I found a scarf on the descent of East Osceola. It wasn't there on the way up and I suspect it was from the woman doing just East Peak that day. Message me with info about it and we can try to get it back to you. sdways01atyahoodotcom

Sunday 12/21/14 I found a jacket on the trail between the East Peak and Osceola. Being the first one out to Osceola today, it was probably from someone hiking Saturday. Send me a message with a description of the jacket and we can try to get it back to you. sdways01atyahoodotcom

While I see your point about the technicality, no where does it say they aren't allowed the rest of the year when you actually get down to it. And unless something is specifically listed at "not allowed" to me that means it is.

Staying at Katahdin Stream CG this summer to hike the mountain, I noticed some AT hikers head up the trail after sunset. I suspect they were trying to find a free spot as the letter mentions.

When I was in there this fall doing a long loop of the Willey range from Zealand Road I didn't notice anything that said that. I tend to look at each sign just to make sure I am where I think i am.

I've brought a shovel with me in late winter to make more room if I thought I needed it there. While it's longer and limited parking, the trail is still pretty popular so there will probably be room. One of my favorite routes up the mountain in winter is the Cascade Link to Pumpelly just after...

On Mt. Abraham this summer, I counted 41 distinct piles of moose droppings in the mile between Abe and Mt. Lincoln. Also, the first moose I have seen on the trail of a 4K was coming up the Jerusalem Trail on Mt. Ellen later in the summer.

I bought a Garmin GPS this summer at Cabelas. They didn't have any with the maps loaded in store, so I bought the 24K maps online (same price as if they had a GPS with 100K installed) through the Garmin website. Got the "Northeast" region and have been happy with them so far. It would seem so...

There is a view just past the summit of Waumbek though (only 200 feet or so). I met someone a couple weeks ago on the ledges of Whiteface that said she just finished her 48. I made sure she knew that wasn't the summit, which she did. The other couple there didn't know that though.

Date of Hike: 11/15/14 Trail Conditions: Snow from bottom to top, but no more than 4 inches at any point. Once on the steeper climb away from the brook, snow on top of leaves was a bit slick, but manageable without traction. Some patches of ice on the Long Trail portion and one or two very...

I personally won't buy one because I am already covered based on my 3 OHRV (1 ATV & 2 Snowmobile) registrations and my sporadic hunting and fishing licenses. While I'm not complaining since I won't be buying one, the two things that confuse me some are: 1) Why is it I'm only adding $1 per OHRV...

Occasionally I think I hear people behind me, but when I turn around there isn't anyone. This has happened in many places. But the only time I had it happen repeatedly was the first time I hiked Cabot (and the Bulge and Horn). I kept thinking I was hearing someone coming up the trail behind...

I know someone briefly mentioned Monadnock, but you wouldn't be allowed to bring them on the mountain there. The rule is "no pets" since dogs isn't specific enough. The ranger that I am friends with has turned around people with goats before.
