I hope it helps, but I don't think I'll drive my other car to NY anytime soon, just in case.

I have to wonder if non-NY people are exempt. The reason I ask is that in the military your vehicle has to conform to the state in which it's registered, not in the one in which you're in.

Huh, I did not know this and was just in NY last Sunday buying a VW TDI with my brother. Here is the law: That sucks, I wonder if any other states have something similar, as I am in clear violation. I wonder how this applies to university stickers in the rear window, again I am guilty...

What state and who issued the ticket?

Since I don't want to be an anomaly, I think I'll just throw all the stuff in a pile in the middle of the floor ;) Actually they're pine floors, very soft, but they look nice. Most of the house is wide pine, 18" to 24" in places, and probably date back to the original build in 1815. Some of...

Too funny! Mine used to be like this, but half the time I couldn't find anything. The (now ex) GF never saw the room, but I know she would have complained, which is why I always kept the door closed.

I thought I'd share...from Mark's Coffee House and Gear Emporium, open all night. :) I got tired of always having my hiking and camping stuff in multiple places, so I took one of the spare rooms in the farmhouse and converted it. I keep the shoes in the mudroom, so those in the pics don't...

That's great you're up and about. If you need me to retrofit some stabilicers to crutches, let me know. See you on the trail this winter!

I have also never had a problem with shelters or the people in them. I have come across several that were full while it was raining, and set up my tent without asking. People in shelters, at least the ones I have come in contact with, have been more than accommodating and understanding, even...

I am also interested, and need Katahdin as well.

I have the Degrees and love them. I picked up some Arctis Expeds and will give them a try this winter. No shin bang here, right from the start, and they are as comfortable to walk in as my leathers, as long as there's snow on the ground. I don't even mind the weight as they're very similar to...

I have several pairs of VBL sicks I use when winter camping, love them. But, it has to be cold enough to use them, like around 0° or below, otherwise my feet just stay damp and clammy. Before picking up the VBL socks, I used plastic bags, but they were only good for a day, then they'd become...

I did do the math, and have a handy calculator I setup on my spreadsheet program (the one with all the camping weights on it). To get the equivalent cost in mpg for a gas engine, a car would have to get 49.6 mpg. This was with fuel prices as I saw them today coming back from N. Conway.

I also have a VW TDI. Last year I was looking for a spare vehicle to augment my '95 Isuzu Trooper because it was getting up there in mileage (it has over 333,000 now), so I found a '97 VW TDI Passat with only 232,000 miles on it (it now has 266K). I enjoy it immensely and now I only use the...

C'mon, we all know what that is, it's a trailer hitch. Skiguy is right, one shoe does not fit them all. While I spend most of the time in the Whites on the Atlas shoes, for deeper snow on steeper trails I have some 30" Tubbs with the Viper Crampons (which cake up in sticky snow), and some 36"...

I have to agree, which is why I sold mine on Ebay at the end of last year. I have many pairs of snowshoes, but prefer my Atlas 1025's (women's). Running in them sucks as they tend to kick snow something fierce, but otherwise I love them, leaps and bounds over the Tubbs. If I had the coin I'd...

Have you checked out this site for fuel prices in NH? I use this one for Maine so I can see what's going on in other parts of the state. I also add updated prices to the site from time to time to keep it current.

We used to do something similar in the military with backpacks, put the front pack on first and the straps from the rear pack would hold it in place. The front pack was a regular backpack, not a fanny pack, just wanted to add that. It did make for awkward going, but it was easy to get used...

I accidentally left an aluminum 9x13 cake pan up there last winter, not sure if it's still there. The last I remember, the oven wasn't coming up to high temps as it should, but I haven't been there since FSB III.

Rest in Peace, my dearest condolences. I don't know what else to say, other than he's reminded me once again to take nothing for granted and live life a little fuller. It is my belief people are not gone, they are always around us, just not in a form we can recognize. To Marty and...
