    Sick after 3-day backpacking trip - coincidence?

    Oh Yeah Ditto When we lived in NYS we had a cottage on the St Lawrence River. One time we stopped for a snack on our way up from Syracuse. A couple of hours after we arrived Carol became unbelievably ill- similar to your symptoms. She couldn't get out of bed other than to..... for at least the...

    Strange Rash

    Double Loop Kevin- A great suggestion! How do you double loop? Do you mean twice through the same eye? We have experimented with looping over top of eye instead of from under.

    Strange Rash

    Re Rash Thanks for all the fast responses. This is a great community and resource! Kevin, Mark- We don't think it's allergy because she wears the same socks around the house and for long walks without a problem. Mark- Her symptoms sound exactly like yours. Those walks are usually done wearing...

    Strange Rash

    Hope someone has seen or experienced this and has a solution. My wife has been getting a rash like blotchiness on her shin and calf, basically from ankle to knee, from her hiking boots. Someone told us that it was collapsed surface veins from keeping the boots tight. They said it is quite common...

    WMNF Trailhead Fees

    You can look at this from a strictly legalistic viewpoint if you wish. I do happen to believe that the Forest Service is underfunded. Since I don't have the time or inclination to try to change the situation I would be happy to pay parking fees to help support our playground- that is if I didn't...

    Snapper Trail

    Hopefully someone will restore my apparently failing memory. I'm planning to take my wife (not a very strong hiker) up the Snapper Trail on Mooselauke Sunday. Hopefully we can get a reasonable distance up the Carriage Road- or if she is feeling strong enough even reach the summit. She wouldn't...

    Limmer Boots: Footbeds?

    Problem I had with that is that they fitted me with a slightly larger size to accomodate my custom orthotics. As a result the rest of the boot is a little too big and thus rubs. I havent been able to use them without blistering my achilles tendon area. Anyone wear size 9 wide? I love my new...

    Footwear of choice for spring hikes in the snow

    Do you or anyone else wear Limmers? I know lots of people LOVE their Limmers. I have yet to be able to wear mine on hikes with elevation (i.e.- MOST HIKES) after a full season of trying to break them in. My heels rub raw as soon as I start going up. It really ruined a large part of last year...

    How do you deal with your back problems?

    Hang Time I agree with all the above suggestions and cautions. One thing that I add to my workouts seems to help relieve lower back spasms that occur periodically. I "discovered" this when subluxated a lower back vertebrae back in the martial arts time of my life. I end my gym workouts (in...

    Confirmed Wild Wolf killed in MA

    Disagree I love your pictures but not the logic. No one else can judge the value of any loss better than the person experiencing it. The folks that lost the sheep are the ONLY ones with the right to make that decision. I'm sure the people you refer to that pray for more snow would choose to...

    New Waterville map

    Maps are also available at the WV Real Estate office on your left just after passing the Ski Area road on your way into WV on Rte 49. Plymouth Book Exchange in Plymouth and Lahouts Summit Shop in Lincoln should also have some on hand.

    New Waterville map

    I wonder if he's got a new project in the works yet... Only if another organization hires him, I would think. We (the WVAIA), and the WODC each independently retained him to produce the maps for us. It took much longer, and ended up costing more than we anticipated, but we are quite proud of...
