Sometimes they welcomed the settlers with open arms, until the settlers starting thinking the land was theirs. The Lewis and Clark expedition would have been wiped out except for the kindness of the Nez Perce tribes. 70 years later, the government returned that kindness by trying to wipe out the...

My wife swears one ran across the road in front of her while driving up RT5 to Andover ME, one morning. When we got out West and started seeing stuffed mountain lions in the National Park exhibits, she points at them and says "that is what I saw". A friend of mine is the Road crew foreman for...

my mistake. I was thinking of the White Mountains, in general

That list is a bit out of date. How many died this preceeding Winter?

I don't recall many people dying up there from lighning strikes, but there have been several dozen that died from the wind.

Its not the rain, its the wind. Nothing worse than being soaked with sweat and standing on top of Adams or Jefferson and freezing. Ive been up there on some dead calm, sunny days and its been beautiful. I've been up there when the forecast was crap, and it was beautiful. But, most of th time...

250 miles of billboards advertising$.25 coffee and free cold water? I've never been there, deliberately, after all the billboards on I80. Apparently, its pretty nice though

If the wood is being used for paper or wood frame houses, isn't it still sequestering carbon? I remember reading that young trees use more carbon dioxide and create more oxygen, so wouldn't it be more beneficial to cut older trees? Open the forest up for more diverse species? One of the problems...

Even more thread drift. Josh Saunders was my platoon leader in the MeARNG. He was quite the character.

I always thought MPRL's were found during the native tribes suing the state to get their lands back. When researching how the land deeds were granted, they were "discovered"

Bars are open again so those people are no longer in the woods.

I had to double check that Mt Lincoln wasn't moved.

Not me! I'm enjoying the warmth of the AZ desert.

I was reading, long ago, about how when it gets really cold down in Antartica, when the wind blows harder, it warms up a bit due to friction. They could watch the temps rise as the wind gusted.

Add me to the Darwin list. I did see someone asking about hiking Katahdin this weekend on Facebook. That should be a fun trip.

The story is in one of the NH hiking books, "Not without Peril"? Maybe?

I'll third the R1 hoodie. I'm tall, 6'3" so a size larger than normal actually fits me. Ragged Mountain Equipment has a comparable grid fleece pull over I wear, but it's not as long in the back. I usually get Patagucci closeouts after/off season stuff. Most of it has been pretty good. My...

His family said he wasn't an experienced hiker and they were tracking his progress from China? How did he even find out about this hike? Instagram?

When I was volunteering for MHT, I talked to a guest who had stayed at the AMC camps in Maine as well as MHT. She preferred the AMC camps because they had hot tubs and saunas. From the emails I still get from MHT asking for Volunteers to man the huts, it seems to be all volunteer now. The wife...
