Anybody been on Garfield Ridge between Garfield and Lafayette within the last couple of weeks? I've been checking the reports, but I haven't seen any posts with info for that stretch of the ridge. I missed a planned trail maintenance trip on memorial day because the trail was still buried in...

This is my favorite from the past year. I was taking a walk in the woods with my daughter and VERY pregnant wife who was past her due date and trying to get contractions started. We were only a few hundred yards from the car ;) Not a majestic peak or even spectacular photography, but my...

Where's the "skis" option? :)

bigger than the sun now I just got an email update from Spaceweather.com, and the debris cloud is now "slightly larger than the sun itself." Cool :cool:

I'm pretty sure I rescued a family of hikers from either a much longer hike than they anticipated, or an unplanned night in the woods. I was southbound on the Garfield Ridge trail earlier this summer, and was nearing the top of North Lafayette. A family passed me going northbound, with the dad...

I wouldn't say that vftt hikers didn't care; I'm sure it made people upset. However, the focus of the board is hiking, and the Jay Peak cut isn't directly related to hiking. My view is that there are lots of things that happen in the world everyday that make me upset, or angry, or sad. I...

I thought this statement made it a silly question: Another hiker's choice of beverage doesn't impact my enjoyment of the hike, unless they pour their beverage on my head. Cell phones and cigarettes, however, are a direct assault upon my senses. As for kids and exposure to alcohol...

I think that's a safe assumption :)

I'm jealous . . . Redbones is AWESOME. They had free valet parking for bicycles when I lived down there. (Proposed to my wife there too :))

I've been on it a few times this summer. There are a few large blowdowns, and the trail is obscured, but one can still follow it. It's easier to follow going from the Garfield Trail to the ridge. Going from the ridge back to the Garfield Trail, there are a few false herd paths on the north...

Fyi I got the following response from Kevin at WMG online, regarding an email I sent about the map function not working: Hope this helps. (thanks Kevin!)

I'm still seeing the clock too, at work and now at home.

Has anybody tried this with Firefox? The map doesn't seem to be loading for me. Not sure if it's a browser compatibility problem, or if the site is just hanging.

I didn't write it down, but I think it was mostly religious writing, maybe bible verses or prayers or something. I can check the original higher resolution image I have.

I'm going to have to back out of this one. Count me in for the next one though!

since the comment I mentioned has since been removed, I've removed my post

I found this stick off the Garfield Ridge Trail this past weekend (click for larger): I was poking around off the trail, and it immediately caught my eye. It looked like it had been written on at least two different occasions. I put it back where I found it since it looked like someone...

update I was at the Garfield Trail parking area early on Sunday morning, about 5AM I think. A USFS truck pulled in, and the driver rolled down the window to chat with me (I guess I looked a little shady, with my trunk popped open, gear all over the ground, and the half-dazed look I get without...

Can't make the hike, but I'll see you all at the Inn :)

Wednesday works for me too, and Norwich Inn sounds good as well.
