Wondering if anyone has been to South Moat from Dugway Rd recently and knows the trail conditions. Thanks Harry

Awesome pictures. Looking at them, you can almost feel yourself blasting through the pow.....

Back in the day, when I was into martial arts and had occasional back tightness, the two stretches that seemed to help the most were- a backwards stretch as per Neil's Health Bridge (although I just stretched backwards on the floor without a device). The Health Bridge looks like it would be less...

Happy to see you came through the process in good spirits and feeling well.

Wish you the best... Wow! Best of luck Mark. Hope to see you on the trails this summer. Harry

chondroitin, cat's claw ??? Tobit is correct. I don't think you can find glucosamine in your food. I use a glucosamine supplement and that combined with weight training in the gym seem to keep the knees happy. If I ignore the gym for too long (as in skiing or hiking almost every day) the knees...

I was just browsing around Google and noticed the "my maps" feature. I know nothing about GPS tracks, but was wondering- VFTT'rs collectively have a massive amount of GPS info. Could there be a way for GPS tracks to be uploaded to a "my maps" site that we all could access? It seems interesting...

They call that Type A+++ personality.. ;) I've been trying to compensate for decades but it doesn't seem to work.

Appreciate your comments. I wish I could take credit for choosing Aaron, but he was assigned. He did a terrific job. Thanks again. Harry

Just want to post a big THANK YOU to the VFTT'rs that attended the SOLO Wilderness First Aid course that we (WVAIA) held in Waterville Valley this weekend. It was nice to meet you and put a face to the screen names. Your participation definitely added to the success of the program. Thanks to-...

Considering the group, I would agree that Jackson wouldn't be the best choice. Pierce would be my first choice, but if the weather is mild AND the forecast is without possibility of a storm (given that we all know anything can happen) I would choose Edmands Path to Eisenhower. It's a good climb...

I wonder all the time, considering that the 50 mph section is probably more likely to produce a moose. Although as we all know, moose, bear and deer can be and are to be found everywhere along the route. One possibility is that there are some straighter sections in the 50 mph zone. Another...

SOLO WFA A Few Remaining Spots First, thanks to those who have replied and will be attending the SOLO Wilderness First Aid course that the WVAIA is sponsoring in Waterville Valley on Jan 17, 18 . There a few remaining spots available (like 4-5) if anyone is interested. Here's a link to the...

Thanks Dave!!!!

Mods- I hope it's OK to post this here. If not, any suggestions? We (the WVAIA) are hosting a 2 day (16 hour) SOLO Wilderness First Aid course here in Waterville Valley. The dates are Sat., Sun. January 17, 18. We're making participation available to the broader hiking community as well, thus...

The pattern, color and size all look like deer.

I don't know the current conditions, but the bushwhack is easy. Just cross the stream on the road and after about 50 ft head up the bank. You'll cross a narrow field then enter the woods. Angle towards the stream and you'll intersect the trail at or near the crossing.

A friend had the very same thing happen to him, and it was on his own land. This was during deer season in Central New York several years ago, near Lafayette, NY.

Well Sierra, you're not alone. I often carry a fixed blade hunting knife. I do feel self conscious about it sometimes. I will often leave it at home if I'm going to be with a group on a day hike, but when alone it just makes me feel more prepared for the unexpected. Harry

I love this one. Watched it at least 5 times before returning it to Netflix.
