    A question about White Mtn campgrounds...

    Is there someone there "in season"? When I went it was an honor system box. How could they take reservations without a "live" person there? Just wondering.. M

    A question about White Mtn campgrounds...

    Tear in Gor tex pants question

    I might actually ocntact North Face FIRST, as they are pretty good with product replacement. I mean it is a "lifetime" warranty...its SOOO worth a shot..never know they may outright replace them if you have a "decent" story. They've replaced mine before from ski edge tears... Just a thought. M

    My take on wilderness regulations and their recent enforcements

    What strikes me the most here is that if the need arose, the govt would take any land it deemed it "needed" and do what they wanted with it. I.E.

    Pemi loop

    My plan was EXACTLY that...stay first night at Garfield tent site, which I also figured looked about half way, and Guyout is to far for us to make in a day without really busting hump...so Garfield it is.. Any idea how crowded it might be AFTER labor day weekend. The proposed dates are Sept...

    boot grease recommendation?

    Anyone waterproof trail runners? If so any products used would be greatly appreicated. I've thought of using nikwax product but don't want to waste it just to find out it did nothing to the trail runners?
