BrentD22, I've been in your situation and I've been married for over 30yrs. If you have the time and cash forget the cabins in the Northeast. Do a google for some resort in the virgin island (passport not needed). Or any warm weather area with ocean beach. I sure your wife would love it. Good...

How about this for a welcome

She saved her husbands life. Very Brave woman. check this story: Half in shark's mouth, diver survives

Yep, we had a good size group that weekend. One of our friends from Co had a fatal accident during the summer on a 13k peak in Co. He had always wanted to climb Mt Washington. So we had a service for him at the summit with some of his ashes. I like your motto. Also, I'm with you, pass on the...

True, the Lions Head winter starts before reaching the rangers station. Hey, it's just a hypethical question. Heck, maybe you need to use the outhouse at Hermit lake first. :)

Ok, say you're off to summit Washington, day trip via winter loin's head. Leaving Pinkham forcaste calls -40 to -50 with wind chill. You get to Hermit Lake and now the ranger post a new update: -60 to -70. Got got all the gear, experince and an equal hiking partner. Twenty degree delta...

I can understand a challenge but at -60 to -70 with perhaps at lest a hour plus of hiking above treeline might be as dangerous as hiking into a high avi setting. Granted having all the right equip, no exposed skin, experience, etc.. is mandatory. However, there's not much room if at all for...

Mount Washington Observatory posted severe wind chills (-60 to -70). Question: would people really try a summit attempt with that kind of forecast? Or an I just a baby?

Chip, great trip report. Loved the drama with a happy ending.

Be honest, your just buying yourself another toy. Hey, I did the same thing a few years back. The truth is she only used them once and I use hers all the time. It's rare that I realy need to use my huge snowshoes. And your right, they really suck to carry.

I wonder what the retail sales will be like after the holidays.

Jay, Your more then welcome to come by my house and practice splitting logs to your hearts content. After a few days you would know the difference between wet and dry wood and at lest distinguish between families of oak, maple and beech.

Got a copy. Looks great. thanks

Did you see any Mountain Ash shurbs around. This time of year the red berries they produce fall to the ground and when stepped on leave a smare of red, looks like blood. Perhaps?

One heck of an adventure. I bet a hot shower sure felt good. I was on Garfield Summit around noon Sunday, not a breath of wind with blue skys.

That Taft Lodge looks cool. Might try it out this winter.

Thinking about it, just hearing the rattle and not seeing the snake is what most likely freaked me out the most. Interesting information about the milk snake, thanks. Anyone know how far north the timber rattle's range is in the east?

After reading about encounters with bears I thought I post this question. A few weeks ago I was out west hiking in Red Rock Canyon, NV. An hour into the hike I heard the unmistakable sound of a snake's rattle. I instantly froze and felt a rush of adrenaline in my body. looking to were the...

Also just return from Campobello. All that is needed to enter New Brunswick Canada is a picture id (Drivers Lic). I believe that will change Jan 1, 2007. FYI spent most of the week camping at Cobscook State Park about 20 min drive from Lubec, Me. Highy recommended campground, all sites...
