    Clingmans Dome is now Kuwohi

    And a slavey-supporting typical moral-less politician from the south in the game only for status and connections. He always supported slavery and supported the union until it became obvious NC would secede. At which point he gladly jumped ship, choosing slavery over unification. As early as the...

    Wild River Road Status

    It's "2 years or until rescinded" so it could possibly be opened at some point before. Or not and they just extend the order. I'm probably more pessimistic than others. https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/whitemountain/notices/?cid=FSEPRD1200463

    Wild River Road Status

    The closure order is for 2 years and they just updated it 3 weeks ago reflecting no changes.

    custom backpack makers

    Rich does fantastic work. I've used him for gear repair in the past. He used to sew for HMG before they outsourced everything to Mexico.

    Co-workers leave Colorado man behind on mountain summit during office retreat

    Not all group dynamics are the same. My hiking group is more of an assembly of solo hikers that camp together.

    RMC Log Cabin Shelter on Lowes path closure

    My favorite way to tackle that network is with a coin flip at every junction. Even with a full lot, most folks have their sights on the peaks and you get to enjoy the highest concentration of waterfalls in the whites in relative solitude.

    Less daylight every day now

    I have a rooster who can fix that problem.

    Looking for a new hiking map app

    Gaia and Caltopo are probably your best bets. Caltopo is more powerful but Gaia is much more intuitive and a prettier UI without much sacrifice. They both give access to a large number of different mapsets, USGS being just one of them. Both have free versions but aren't much without a...

    Drop a Dime

    The falcons return the favor. I get to watch them use people's homes for their playground in Boston.

    Falling Waters Trail Relocation

    Just looking at a map, I would guess the relocation would leave the current route around 2050', run up the ridge south of the current route, and rejoin the trail at the switchback around 3050'. The spur leaving the new trail at and running along the 2600' contour to Cloudland.

    Is this the hike you do in place of Monadnock?

    Had a couple close calls this evening

    A few weeks back I was at home on the North Shore having my morning cacao and cone, checking out the back hay field, when I saw something moving through the grass. I assume it's a coyote because they are always around but as it broke out by the fenceline it turned out to be a huge bobcat. Calmly...

    Ended up on Sachem again. Highly recommend.

    WMNF Backcountry Campsite Options

    I think the OPs reluctance to take a first timer into the DR is warranted. There is a washout between the bridge and Mt Clinton that someone who isn't used to carrying weight should probably avoid. There are also 2 official sites within .25 of the location you describe.
