I think we did talk about that, miehoff. Personally, I was waiting until they actually had some trails up near the CT Lakes. There was a bit too much road walking on Route 1 for my tastes. I'm glad to hear I'll still get that chance. As for helping the cause, I'll include a bit more of the...

Well, I just got a newsletter from K.R. Nilsen and apparently the Cohos Trail is not dead! Thanks to an outpouring of support, he is handing off trailwork duties to locals in the Coos County. He will stay focused on fundraising and organization of the CTA. Here is the first part of the...

Wow, you totally convinced me. Lets put a nuke plant on top of Reddington instead! And I heard that there is coal under Katahdin. We should start a strip mine at Chimney Pond.

"Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes had a baby. And they named it Suri. And then Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had a baby too and they named it Shiloh. And both babies are so amazing!"

Awesome report, Carm, way to make a great New Years out of getting shipped to LA for the holidays! Nevada Falls looks awesome.

Wow - I didn't realize that VFTT was so hydration-bladder intolerant. I made the switch to hydration bladders when I hiked the AT, and I haven't looked back since. I carry a nalgene only when it gets well below freezing, as I find it extremly annoying to have to stop everytime I want a sip of...

I agree totally. Whacking a few trees on a summit to provide a small view will have zero impact.. other than making a whole bunch of hikers happy. Its almost impossible to see the rocky summit on a peak like Mt Bond - and that summit has a view. Clearing a few trees from, say, East Osceola would...

I just did Paintbrush - Death Canyon this summer. Make sure you camp on Death Shelf - it is a really amazing place. Also, you can come down Granite Canyon to make it a longer trip, but I heard that Death Canyon was nicer so that is the way we went. We did the loop in four easy days and had a...

Stay Away I went to see the last Warren Miller film in Portsmouth and all I have to say is: Stay Away! The last film was not even narrated by Warren, and apparently whenever you did hear his voice, it was just clips from his previous films. I have seen and enjoyed a few of his films, but the...

Oh, now I see it... there is a boat in that picture. :)

I just noticed that there is a real lack of chatter going on about this, so I was wondering who is in fact going? Who wants to go but wants more info? Who thinks that we will have torrential rain at some point during the weekend? And, most importantly, who is going to get the leather apron?

Thanks for the compliments, everyone... To answer the easy question - I did not fly my bike out there. Its too much $$ and too much of a hastle. We were able to rent a full-suspension cannondale for 3 days for less than $90 each. Which is still much less than shipping the back and forth. As...

VSA and I spent a week out in Wyoming. We spent our first 4 days backpacking around the Tetons, which was just amazing. We were stalked by a brown bear, saw tons of wildlife (moose, marmots, pikas, etc...), blown away by the wildflowers and even saw a few nice mountain views. The next three...

I am pretty sure that I know exactly where this is and I knew about it before the sign went up. I am not a local, but a friendly local told me about it a few years back. I am glad to hear that you are living ammicably with the increased traffic and that most people are respectful of your...

When I was there, bears were not an issue at all. There is one part of the Winds that does have an occasional Grizzly, but it is in the north-east corner of the range, on the other side of Gannet Peak from the trip I did. Snow is definitely a possibility in September out there. It got below...

Good recommendaitons from everyone on books and whatnot. If you want to ready my journal, its here: http://chomp99.trailstories.com/j20020914.html Basically, I got dropped off at Green River Lakes trailhead in the north and hiked south to Big Sandy. September is a perfect time to hike the...

Sounds like a great weekend! Thanks Kevin and everyone else that helped out and made the trail a little bit better last weekend. Your hard work is very much appreciated. A bunch of my friends held a hiker feed in Duncannon last weekend, and they too found that numbers were down from past years...

Back when that trail was the official AT (was back in 1999) they let thru-hikers do this for free. Actually, they would hold your packs at the top, let you ride down, and then take the chairlift back up so you could continue your hike. When I told the operator at the top (after having already...

Awesome job, Seema, congrats!!
