I have a strange feeling that many here with kids (or nieces/nephews) do this already with their kids. I am outside all the time with my girls. Before moving to GA we hiked almost weekly in NH, walked daily in the forest year round. Since moving we do not hike as much but spend many hours...

I had the same experience but it was from LL Bean (at one of the outlet stores) Called Freeport and it was taken care of. Call Peterborough.

When I went to UMass in the mid 90's the trails had many families with small children. I can only assume it for their sake.

I have left notes similiar on coolers filled with water/sport drinks/fruit for long mt bike rides.

What's wrong using pine needles?

When I got my parking ticket ($35 + $25 handling charge) I was 25 minutes from my house in Sumter National Forest, SC. i planned on fighting but the court house was a 2.5 hour drive and if you lose they may add additional court fees. The cost for gas and my time was worth more than the $60...

How many folks have a shot of them (or a friend) on Butt Spur spliting apart a boulder? For me it is not which mountain but who I hike with. When hiking alone I seldom take pictures but when I am with someone else........

In these "hard times" many agencies/goverments are using fines (let it be parking. speeding, etc) as a source of revenue. In the last year I have seen FS law enforement coming down harder on these, I has one that they came down on. Also last month when I drove from GA to New England and back I...

I have no idea if anyone here is going to the IMBA World Summit (5-8 May) in Augusta, GA but if you are feel free to stop by and say hi. I'll be patroling (NMBP) the trails Friday and would love to meet any VFTT members. The Augusta area (locals refer to it as the CSRA) is becoming a mecca of...

If I recall, the Asian longhorn beetle is believed to come to the US in wooden pallets. Will Maine also not allow shipments of goods on wooden pallets into Maine? Its population has also exploded in its native China. Sounds like the natural predator(s) population might have declined or even...

I am really tossed up about this, my first instinct is NO he is only 13. Does this not tread closely to "child endangerment. But on the other hand when I was 13 my parents dropped me and my cousin off at Pinknam Notch to hike the Rock Pile. This became a tradition for the next few years 'til...

I tried feeding the bears but those stupid birds kept eating all the seed.:p

If I hear banjo music does that mean the good Dr. is around the corner? Like to get a day hike or two either in mountains of GA, SC or NC. Main focus will be increasing my endurance for some mt bike racing.

I have been thinking that for the last 4 years or so. I would have to disagree with the added tax on "cancer sticks" to pick up butts. Considering there are other things besides butts that are part of the litter problem, like bottles, cheeseburger wrappers, etc. Do we tax these also? And...
