How I have seen Wilderness Areas in the mountains of GA and than ones in the Whites, each one is managed how the district views the regulations differently. Not opposed letting each manager do what is best for each forest instead of a "blanket" policy that came from Washington.

A few weeks ago I posted on local (GA) mt bike forum about what saw to carry. I already carry a small folding one but am interested in getting a larger one to carry when doing trail work. This one came up. http://www.silkysaws.com/Silky_Saws/Curved_2/Silky-ZUBAT-300-Hand-Saw

Saw this article on a mt bike forum. Looks like Hogback trails will be open to mt bikes. Figured some here would be interested in the news. Only driven by on rt 9 and ate breakfast once at the restaurant near by. i am personally glad to hear it is being opened...

"Dumb people repeat their mistakes, smart people learn from their mistakes and wise people learn from others mistakes." Hopefully these teens will learn from theirs. I know I learned a lot from mine.

Do they allow hiking/mt biking along the Catamount Trail during the non-skiing months. thanks -brianW

I used to see them in the Millers River in Winchendon and Athol, MA. Right in the center of town. Also, I have spotted them swimming in the Augusta (GA) Canal. They are very comfortable living in city/towns. My suggestion is find a trail/old railroad bed near a river and take a...

Labs were originally breed by fishermen of the coast of Canada to retrieve lines. They (at least mine) love the water and cold. Have taken mine out in from single digits and up with no problems. I cannot recall if I have done hikes with her below zero. No jacket or booties for mine. Hardest...

I saw back a few years ago about a 4k club for the southern Appalachians to encourge hikers to more remote and less hiked peaks. Right in it they mentioned the idea came from AMC 4K club. One rule stuck out to me was all hikes had to be 4 miles (maybe 5) in lengh or longer to count. This was...

I prefer some slightly watered down orange juice. As for snacks, jelly beans, sport gels and of course snickers. These work fine for me when I am mt biking (20-30 milers) Anything over that and I do need to stop for something more for food. always drinking just water also. I have used...

looking forward to more day light. Seems that every ride or trail run I either start or end in the dark.

Problem we have is that the trail is 3' wide and sometimes less, in most areas. The local National Mt. Bike Patrol (which I am a member) have marked access points along the trail to fire roads and to some degree fire breaks and made maps for the local EMS to have in trucks.

I live very close to the Forks Area Trail System (FATS) in SC. It is a series of 35 miles of singletrack trails in 6 loops designed for mt biking. Very fun place to ride and trail run if you are ever in the Augusta, GA area. Do to the increase of accidents, the small local fire department...

just a question: do you need a permit to carry pepper spray?

K is for Keg Creek trail (Appling, GA)

To use a chainsaw in a National Forest the person needs to be a certified USFS "Sawyer" on a side note: after relocating to the Augusta, GA area 6 years ago, I mentioned "trail adoption" to the local mt bike club. We now have all 150 miles of trail adopted.

Could it of been a cavy or mara, looks like a large rabbit, and native to South America. There were sightings of them in the Sumter National Forest in SC close to where I live with even a few pictures in the paper. Story is they were released by the owner. Not believed to be breeding though...

I don't believe there are any native lizards in NH. The only native lizard in New England I know of is the 5-line skink that is listed as a threatened species in CT and VT. I have plenty of these running around my house here in GA. http://www.ct.gov/dep/cwp/view.asp?A=2723&Q=326006...

Stumbled across this article about the projected revenue that forests are to take in yearly in New Zealand and the sources of the revenue. Surprised that logging was in third place with walking and mt biking ahead of it...

I am glad that I rode alone 15 miles of trail tonight instead of hiked. I wouldn't want to be caught hiking alone, let alone out after dark:eek: Now am I allowed to trail run alone? it's not hiking right?

Just like clean wind power off the coast of the Cape, or a nuclear power plant, or a........ NIMBY. I personally would rather see this country actually come up with and do a plan to become energy independent. Just like Cape Wind, this is a possible way to start doing this. Also, my opinion...
