There is a lot of truth in that statement

any info on campsites appreciated - have not been out there (beyond Madison Gulf) in over a decade - I recall some sights as you approach the Six Husbands/Wamsutta area - are there many beyond that point before Spaulding Lake? Did I read that there is one on the Wamsutta close to the junction...

that would stink - although all of my trips there have had a pretty exact backpacking itinerary - you get used to their ways because the place is so spectacular

Sorry to hear about this... I hike group/solo about 50/50 Our friend and VFTTer Ray died on a hike two years ago - he had felt tired and wanted others to go ahead - they refused and stayed with Ray who soon collapsed. Nothing could have been done in my less than professional opinion to save Ray...

That is something I will never be able to answer

I answered full hiking - but I do wear low hikers on less intense hikes over easier terrain - always full boots when going up on the boulders or when backpacking

to the Pentagon to defend the parks

I can think of a few spots that could use escalators ;)

Keep in mind to that many people straggle in late to these spots assuming there will be space. Getting there in the morning and dropping gear is a great plan - you get a lighter load over the peaks, and you are assured of your space. Planning to do this with my son in a couple of weeks. You...

Thanks - Steve Smith confirmed this as well

Does anyone know if the abandoned Hastings Trail in the Evans Notch area is still basically followable? It was abandoned around 2007 est. thanks

Only if you are in politics :eek:

99 % sure that Hunts in Melrose MA sells what is still made

backpacking it or thru hiking it with a car spot next time!

Water levels have receeded - Mt. Clinton Trail crossing is safe to do, but probably not doable without getting your feet wet - but no big deal. The further past the suspension bridge you get, the more frequent and interesting the obstacles get - many blowdowns - all negotiable...a couple where...

That is one great report and awesome pics...nice job

Wu - I cannot imagine using those - I am not always a Philistine, but on this one... Larry and I saw a teen backpacking in them - he had just descended Webster Cliff. I would imagine they allow you to strengthen all the muscles and ligaments in your feet and ankles and that is a plus over boots...

Policy is pretty much that they do not blaze or remove in these areas...makes it more of a challenge for sure, but I loved it!

Just a quick blurb - as it seems like no one ever goes here...Dry River Falls are about 10-15 minutes north of the Mt. Ike Trail junction on the DRT - unmarked side path that goes down a mudslide to a plateua above the falls - great campsite - spectacular falls. Some pics along the trail and...
