There is one good thing about predicting dire weather disasters fifty years from now. You never have to admit you're wrong.

Actually, I think #5 is Vose Spur, I can tell because there's no fire tower.

If I've driven by it once, I've driven by it 9 times (by the same route). I took some some knocks trying to figure out #5.

I think I know number 5, after all Vermont is my bread and butter. I might have #10 also, you might be on the road for 9 hours before you figure that one out. However #6 is kicking my butt which is embarrassing since I have probably hiked it if it's a 3k in Vt. It looks sort of like something I...

#4 is Carrigain, I can tell by the fire tower. :o Actually, it's Ascutney

Niel and Sylvie There is no way that I can comprehend what you are going through right now. All I can say is that it looks like your son was someone to be proud of, and that my thoughts are with you in this difficult time. Phil S

When at a formal dinner, don't lick your butter knife while pulling a sled.

What's broke that needs fixing at great expense? Just asking.

I have hiked no peaks so far this year, In fact, I haven't even left the house.

Let the solo hiking above treeline in winter begin for 07-08!!!!

An inquiring mind is interested to know how this snowfall will effect the status of Corey's road. Even if they plow to the camps, they won't clear the summer trailhead? Just checking.

Call me a girlie-man, but I find the going much easier with snowshoes even if things are fairly well packed down.

I was at Unknown Pond on Saturday. There was 18 to 24 inches up there. Probably will be more on Cabot.

I can tell you that as of late September the route consisting of Morton Cutoff -> Lincoln Pond -> Wiggle Brook is drivable by a passenger car all the way to the height of land that is commonly used for the start of the Cupsuptic Snow bushwhack. Beyond that, the road that goes down to Porter...

It goes south from Route 105 about half way between Island Pond and North Stratford. There is a street sign on it. The Vermont Gazetteer shows it as an unimproved road but it is actually in good shape.

High Gear Altitech I use a High Gear Altitech. I bought it because of the carabiner clip that it uses to attach to a back pack. It's very handy. It works great about 90% of the time and 95% of the features work. Let me tell you about the other 10 and 5 percents. 10% of the time it doesn't...

Confirmed. There is a campsite on the South America Pond Road. It's an old horse staging area and has a privy (Which had not been recently maintained as of last fall). It's on your right a few miles in, very handy to the Senecas.

I don't. I get that kind of thing from people also. My goal in life is not 100% safety at all times. Leave a smelly shirt in your car and they can use the scent dogs to find you. :rolleyes:

Congratulations, and thanks for the trip report. It's perfectly rational to have a little trepidation about wandering off into unknown woods alone. Stop going when you stop feeling the need to be cautious and self aware. The world needs more dorky hikers wearing compasses and altimeters.

What about the lady who cut the illegal trail up to Duck Pond Mountain?
