Will be in the neighborhood this weekend and wondering if anyone's hiking anything in Baxter on Sunday?

"unable to hike down a trail because of darkness"?????? Somebody better tell Mats he should only hike when it's light out! :D

This from the Oct. 6 Portland Press Herald: STRATTON -- Members of the Maine Warden Service are in the woods here looking for two hikers, reported lost late last night. A state police dispatcher said a call came into the Augusta barracks from a family member of one of the hikers, reporting they...

Congratulations, Kris! Sorry I couldn't make it, sounds as if you had a great crew! :cool:

But how much more does diesel fuel cost? Being you, Lawn Sale, I have to believe that you've done the math to see how much you really are saving. :cool: And I'll bet it's pretty good even with the price differential. A friend of mine who owns a Prius remarked a few weeks ago that it's amazing...

Congratulations, you two! We're all very proud of you and happy for you. Oh, and some of us are a bit envious, too! :rolleyes: You did this trip together, you can do ANY trip together.

Congratulations and welcome to VFTT! Redington is indeed a fine place to finish the 67, but I guess I'm kinda biased, having made the same choice. Not a bad choice of weather, either!

Enjoy the Hundred, and may Pamola welcome you! (He doesn't do that for everyone, you know.)

Thinking about heading into the Great Gulf, and maybe up 6 Husbands, if anyone would like to join me. Anyone rock climbing? Darl58?

Wow. My condolences to Ray's family and to Marty and Jason. Thanks for being there and for doing what you could in an impossible situation. I had the pleasure of hiking with Ray once, with several other VFTT folks, and I echo the statements about his being a gentleman and a fine man. It was a...

That means NO dogs allowed, under ANY circumstances. No exceptions. (I know, I tried years ago.)

I think the question depends on how good your vehicle's suspension is (and how long you want to keep it good!). The Perimeter Road is very washboard-y, and it's not maintained to smooth it out. As a result, the 20 mph speed limit is just about as fast as you'd want to go anyway. But I'd take...

Sounds like cbcbd to me! :D Doug, if you're taking pictures like this, it looks like you're having a great time! So, are you looking east in regret?

The scary bridge Skimom mentioned has had some recent work. We drove up today in 2 high clearance vehicles and parked just before the scary bridge but could have gone quite a bit farther, and even more if we'd had a shovel to fill in some bad washout holes. Didn't need 4 wheel drive, which was a...

The REALLY crazy part is that he did it knowing he'd have to do it again to get out. :eek:

Yeah, I had seen most of that stuff. But it's all brochures and such things, bullet lists, etc., and not those things that are considered "laws." What I was looking for were actual regulations or statutes, the kinds of things that define words like "group." Criminal laws are sometimes found by...

The ranger was indeed a class act and acted in a very professional manner the whole time. Absolutely no question about that. <Moderator Edit> I moved the rest of this post to its own thread, as I think it could be an interesting discussion. http://www.vftt.org/forums/showthread.php?t=24680...

Don't know about you, but I don't want to be the one to tell him that Bearly Live '09 doesn't start for another 11 months. :eek:

Hey, wait a second. Who's trying to claim the "old" prize in this outfit, anyway? We had that discussion at dinner, and it wasn't even close! :D Edit: There are some EXCELLENT photos taken of this trip and posted here! Nice work, everyone.

There are varying levels of "purity" in almost anything. I've met some thru hikers who felt it was cheating if, after staying at a shelter overnight, you didn't go back to the exact spot where you left the white blazes for the blue before continuing. So if the AT was one side of a small...
