Congratulations Sue, unbelievable!!

Don't forget this: (f) Standard amenity recreation fee Except as limited by subsection (d), the Secretary may charge a standard amenity recreation fee for Federal recreational lands and waters under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management, the Bureau of Reclamation, or the Forest...

Beautiful shot. He probably didn't care because in NH you have implied rights to use any non-posted land for recreation.

Last year, I attempted hiking the Sierra High Route with my buddy Ryan. After a week on the route and off trail, we realized that we didn't have enough time to finish our plan, so instead we "settled" for staying on the John Muir Trail. (Those photos are here...

So, the easiest thing to do is just get a general backcounty camping permit. You can hike up the JMT, and when you reach the junction with the Half Dome Trail, instead follow the JMT for another 0.7 miles to the next trail junction. There are plenty of camping options at that junction. You'll...

Agreed - this isn't anywhere near racist. Its not like the guy said he only WANTED one black friend. And the video is indeed hilarious. Even better is the one they did called "Realistic Love Song".

I use what I like to call the "Can and Do Fall On Rocks" (CARe-FOR) guide for when I should wear a brain bucket. The idea is that you should CARe-FOR your head! Basically, if I'm doing a activity where I "Can and Do Fall On Rocks", I put on a helmet. Mtn Biking - Helmet Road Biking - No...

Don't forget the expression of constant surprise on their face. And what do you mean, "usually"?

I just got the email I've been waiting for - I need to be down in Mass on Sunday, but I'm good to go for Friday and Saturday @ the Cave. Are you in need of a full size grill? Any other tailgating-like items that I can bring along?

But North Haverbrook has a monorail! Monorail... monorail...

I'm confused by the pro-snowshoe crowd claiming that the postholers have a "Me, Me, Me" attitude. Isn't the pro-snowshoe argument something like "Well, I don't enjoy the trail when you posthole. Therefore, you must wear snowshoes even though you don't enjoy it." Seems like its just a matter of...

Why do the results of this poll make you want to change to wool? All of your questions are directly or indirectly slighting fleece. No where do you have an option that states "I think fleece IS better than wool." If you had made than an option, I think the results might not have let you to the...

That's because most of us that voted don't care. Fleece works great, its light, and it dries quickly. If the weather is going to be nasty, I'm going to have a shell on anyway. The only issue I've had with fleece is when its windy - a problem that has been solved several years ago with the...

I'm confused! So are you saying that teachers make too much money? Or that they don't make enough money? Or that they should be paid more money? Or that the quality of teachers would be higher if they were paid more? Or that the reason they are paid so well to work 10 months is to make sure...

First, I don't see how public schools enter the discussion here since they are funded by tax dollars, whereas the AMC is funded through membership dues, fees and fund raising activities. Billy doesn't like the monetary reality of the AMC and informed them that he is choosing not to support them...

You guys all suck for being so nice.

I'm really suprised that some people are defending the AMC charging for the cost of a trail work project. Sure there are costs, but if a multi-million dollar (non-profit) corporation can't front a few bucks for food and offer vacant rooms for lodging to people willing to donate their time...

Brian - I'm glad that you see no point in this discussion, but considering some of the responses so far, there are several people on this site that disagree with you. And considering that VFTT is a Discussion Board, I think this is a perfectly appropriate place to have open dialog. Like, for...

Just one in a long list of reasons not to support the AMC in any way. Remember this is the organization that charges members to help do trail maintenance.
