    A Summit for the Dogs - Abster's 48th 10/9

    Cath, You may be right about that. I didn't ask specifics. Yet, I doubt they would have seen a hiker on a break (although it is possible) at that Tripoli Road location. So my guess is that it was up near the ski area. Are you sure there isn't another pond somewhere up there? They did say...

    A Summit for the Dogs - Abster's 48th 10/9

    Bear Hunters Abound Congrats on #48. Just want to insert a word of caution, especially since you will have the dogs along. I live in WV and was talking to some bear hunters at the local sandwich shop the other day. They are up around the ski area. One spot they mentioned that they had bait out...

    Isolation via Glen Boulder 9-27-06

    Met Mohamed at Rocky Branch Trailhead at 7:45. We spotted a car there and drove to the Glen Boulder Trailhead and were on the trail at 8:08. It promised to be a beautiful day with cool temps. As we were on the East side of the mountain, the sun warmed things up pretty quickly and we were soon...

    bears and ADK Islands

    You're Not being too cautious OK, this is second hand but I know it's accurate because the guy it happened to was a good friend at the time. It was maybe 20 years ago as well. He and his family were tent camping on an island in the Daks. Not sure which lake. They had their food in heavy metal...

    Hancocks July 8

    Hancocks July 8 I’ve been wanting to get to the Hancocks for some time now but the opportunity never seemed to present. This weekend the usual crew wasn’t available. The weather was good and it hadn’t rained for quite a few days. I was anxious to get out on a trail and so Saturday morning off I...

    Patellar tendinitis, anyone have any experience with it?

    Mohamed, Have been dealing with this exact situation for over a year. Sorry to hear about it. Mine started as prolonged soreness after hikes (more than a few days). Is especially bad if I jam it on the way down. It got worse after Adams last Fall. My Bad- I haven't stopped hiking or skiing-...

    Willey Range, 06/12/06

    Thanks for Posting Nice meeting you and hiking with you Bobby. Thoroughly enjoyed the day and the company despite the wetness. By the way, my boots stayed totally dry despite "almost" going over the top on the last crossing. Harry

    Magnificent Mount Monadnock in March

    Nine Report, Nice Loop That is a beautiful loop hike and excellent report. Well worth the modest effort for lots of really great views. Did it one very hot summer day a few years back. The only negative was the blistering hot road walk back to the car. Thanks for reminding me of an excellent...

    what type of supplements do you take?

    Vit C Sara said: It is my understanding that only about 100mg per hour of Vit C can be absorbed. So unless it is time released tablet, you are likely not getting much more than that into your blood stream.

    what type of supplements do you take?

    Second the Motion re post hike intake... As a "creaky kneed" aging hiker, recovery as key to me. I 've been using a drink made by Shaklee Corp., a natural supplement company. It comes as a powder. I bring along a baggy of it and leave it in the car with some extra water. Mix it and drink it...
