    Toe Problem

    My toes have taken a hammering over the years and I've pounded many of them into oblivion. :D It takes months and months for mine to grow back. And they're never the same afterwards. Let's put it this way...no man will ever think my feet are seductive. :rolleyes: Some I've lost multiple...

    Girls On Allen Sept 1, 2007

    Poles Update-missing again I got a PM from the owner of the missing poles. They weren't there Saturday night. I'm hoping somone picked them up for safekeeping. Doug A.s (Grace Committee chair) party also left another set of poles on the summit Saturday. So we know that one pair made it down the...

    Girls On Allen Sept 1, 2007

    Girls on Allen (44) September 1, 2007 6:25 to 4:12 ( 9 ¾ hours) Unadogger (Sabrina) knew that my next peak had to be Allen in order to have #46 Skylight (which will be in the next few weeks). So she invited me to join her, High On Life (Nancy) and Leaf (Courtney) for Allen. What she failed to...

    Santanoni Water Availability

    I took a few empty Gatorade bottles up with me to fill just before we left Panther Brook and stashed them at Times Square. Don't fill out of Bradley Pond. You'll spend most the hike up following the brook.

    DSLR- When & What - Size & Weight

    You've been reading my mind. Only my SLR setup is Minolta. Maybe someone will have happy news for us but the last I heard it wasn't around the corner.

    Mt Washington and my 5yr old who tackled it! 8/4

    That was the best trip report I've read in a very long time! Your little squirrel made my day! I can still remember taking my son up Katahdin a couple of weeks after his 5th birthday. Their energy is boundless and no matter how big the rock, they just seem to find a way. He came down and...

    Acadia-to die for

    Too funny! Julie- If sometime(not necessarily today, just sometime) you could write down the ingredients I'd be ever so grateful. I need to find out if it's the old sulfite allergy or a new one and the first step is keeping meticulous track of ingredients eaten that day. It could be a new...

    Acadia-to die for

    Thanks guys for all your kind thoughts! I eat Hoffmann hotdogs a couple of times a year at home but you won't find me tasting anymore after this! Maybe the hotdog had been steamed with the sauerkraut (loaded with sulfites). In thirty years of visiting Beans in Freeport I've never met a grouchy...

    Acadia-to die for

    My yearly trip to Acadia this year had a bit of a twist when I walked into LLBean but had to go out on a stretcher. As some know, I have food allergies and after the long ride to Freeport, I was hungry and tired. I'm going to blame my lapse of care on the two hours of stop and go traffic...

    redfield/cliff trip reports

    Hard work doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it! But heck, then again I lliked Couchie too. I wear my bruises proudly :p and am used to the fanny shimmy over downed trees. I just need to find some leg growth hormone. At least during the summer I don't have to answer the oft repeated question of...

    redfield/cliff trip reports

    No. The "bad" path's cairn is bigger and badder than ever. REad my TR that Yvonhas linked to above. The discussion after the report and pictures tell the story of the paths.

    Hikers Dream Car

    I'm loving my 2007 HOnda CRV 4WD. Totally redone for the 07 line. Mine is still breaking in (it's only 2 months old) and so far I'm getting 28 mpg overall. Better on the highway. The mechanic says it should go 31 even with the 4 WD. The clearance is much higher than my '92 Accord wagon but...

    Small gifts for kids who hike/backpack?

    flashlights-kids love flashlights right down to toddler age Look around and you can find them in fish shapes, cool colors etc I wasn't impressed with the Fisher Price animal ones. They were difficult for little hands and the mouths of the animals blocked the beam. Stick to real flashlights...

    The article addresses the sale of FP. Now we can only hope that OK Slip Falls might in the future be sold to the state.

    OK Slip Falls

    I'm not sure of what you mean but it's private property and they don't give out permission to get to the falls. This has been a long standing PP issue. Barbara McMartin lobbied for years for the state to acquire the land. There is suppposed to be a vantage point from the south facing...
