Actually another question for the knowledgable, Bob & Geri and some others have done CUPSnow from the south west side, has anyone done both with input for comparison and reccommend one over the other. It seems the most recent posts have all been from the North access points. thanks, ctsparrow

Thanks guys, actually have boundary from several years ago, so i guess i have 1/6. WC/NKD seems the most intimidating, i am very green at bushwacking and still wrestle with that 'oh sh..' gut feeling when wandering about. yes i know compass skills and have GPS and my handy DeLormes...just have...

Heading back to the Eustis area for four days of camping before delivering my son to college...yes the former 'short stride' of NH48 before age 13 and NE67 before age 15...4 week conservation/leadership crew 2013 and 10 day Maine teen wilderness crew 2012, ..is heading off to college waaaaaaay...

Am looking at a southerly trip this summer, want to spend time around the skykline drive...i know slow a__ camper clogdom! and then travel to the smokys for some time, may hit a couple highest peaks along the way. Beta on how much time to spend where, gotta do's vs. leave to it to the...

FYI on CT for bleeds, absolutely, CT is the modality of choice for acute head trauma's - think MVA's, sports injuries etc. While his neuro signs must have been relatively intact to hike out to help, which you can due with a concussion - not a fun task I'm sure, a CT can still be ordered to CYA...

i attempted the brooks last year about this time...not my cup of tea! However, did spend time bushwacking some and noticed you can follow the logging road in from the Kanc just west of the parking lot. Follow that up and around the hill for a bit, then at a 90degree to the right, you can almost...

OK venturing out with the bugs this weekend, looking for an informal poll, Sleeper from the So Tri slide? or from the Whiteface side? Not going to venture the many brook crossings from the Kanc. Mind you I have already gone to all the peaks around there, so this is solely a repeat of some...

thanks all for the info...great news..i got into CP..bunkhouse no other sites open..so will do the hamlin baxter route..i am doin the weather dance as maine has cursed me more than once! other info needed...do they have a bear box at CP or is it sack and rope time? ...also if i cant do the full...

kerry the parking area..literally at the start of the trail is room enough for the three vehicles or so...u will pass the main parking area...on the right..which is significantly larger....just walk up the road next to the fish troughs (if u will)...and u will arrive at the smaLl area on the...

Hi Sadie, i was reading your posts as a matter of fact. I may do a night or two in the park, but still enjoy a shower! I guess roaring brook will be an option if i don't get into CP. btw i think you hike faster than me!, i am hitting the gym like a maniac to be ready, the bigelow were tough...

oh yeah....anyone in the group sites bet. 8/28 & 9/1 with open slots? that could work too ;)

Hi all, still alive and kicking, been far too busy in life, but my son and i are headed for baxter the end of august. btw did the bigelows late june, spectacular except for the swarming B-52 sized wasps at and near the summits. Didn't stick around long enough to discern if they were mudders or...

Spent Sunday with my boy getting No. & So Weeks. First time into York Pond region for me other than the Cabot area. Arrived at the fishery gate, called the gatehouse number listed in the AMC guide and was assured that we could get out after 4pm and not to worry or hurry...very nice gentleman...

Jen I will be looking for partners in pain for some of the whacks this summer. My son who dols most of my hikes with me is NOT a fan of whacks. Feel free to PM me with your list of needed hikes. Scaur ridge is my biggie left in NH I also need PeakaTN, prefer to wait for buggage to decline...

Was there this past March as well as last Nov... I found it a bit hard as well locating the glass jar. As the trail swings left you enter a semi cleared nice area amoungst trees just before it wants to descend as it swings south & west. (may not be exact bearings) If you have a GPS you will...

I'm going to buck the crowd and say Flume. Moose can have a crowd on it and i might be prejudiced as my son finished his 48 last year with the Flume/Liberty loop finishing on Liberty. I loved returning to the flume slide trail and while the peak is a small area you have the cliffs and the...

Thanks Brian, is the canister still MIA? Heading there Sat from what it looks like. I came through the area after Vose Spur a few years ago but didn't have the energy to climb it, i love that area so i'm excited to return, wish it was abit drier than i anticipate it to be, but the waterfalls...

Thanks NewHampshire...some posts recommend avoiding the slide all to gether and staying on the steep herd path to the right, so i'm not sure which turn you are referring to. Also, how are the bugs in the mountains right now? Appreciate your help, thanks, ctsparrow

Anyone been in the mount nancy area recently? herd path whack still the same as prior posts? Thanks in advance, ctsparrow
