    WMNF Backcountry Campsite Options

    Wachipauka Pond and Webster Slide is one of my goto spots that's not too difficult. You can camp at the pond and do a quick 1.5mi RT hike up to Webster Slide for a severely underrated view towards the pond and Carr. There are some sites around Shoal Pond up on the east shore. Nancy and...

    Heat waves are not our friend.

    I can't remember the last time I hiked more than 2 miles. This year has been lazy water trips, drive be damned. Looks like perfect ledge bivy weather this weekend.

    Some hope to restore the Mahoosuc Trail to its original route in Gorham

    In doing a bit of research I found some testing done in 2019 that revealed the water didn't have detectable levels of anything other than zinc despite the sediment having very high concentrations of arsenic, cadmium, and lead.

    Some hope to restore the Mahoosuc Trail to its original route in Gorham

    I'm sure Mascot would get more use if there were any fish in it. I'm also not sure I'm drinking water from or swimming in an acidic pond leaching various metals from an old lead mine. Seems like a recipe for unsafe water that my filter isn't doing anything for.

    Carter Dome Rainbow Trail Camp/Water

    It would serve them well to publish an up to date version of the backcountry camping regulations. I've been spending entirely too much time reading forest orders lately. That document is less than comprehensive and often inconsistent with signage on the ground. Rainbow Ridge could provide an...
