Once more, with feeling. Silly Season on Mt Washington has arrived. By 8:30 this morning, temp at the summit had dipped to 29 F, winds were up to @ 70 mph, and ice was building on all summit surfaces. There would be no road or rail access to Mt Washington summit today...

The 2010 season seemed to be a banner year for Black Bear in the Northern Presis. There were multiple sows with multiple cubs in close quarters in the Pinkham area. 3 sows ( 2 with 3 cubs, 1 w 2) were pretty much daily entertainment on the Auto Road, all below treeline. So...

some answers forthcoming I'll contradict my last post to this thread and say that yes, we the consumers are getting some information from the FDA. This reference is a blog post, purporting to quote the FDA inspection report of the Gaston SC Diamond plant...

Ed, I'm sorry that you and your buddy are also in the < recall> place. We were caught up in it, as well. I don't need to feed a grain free dog food, but the senior GSD here has Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency. Switching foods on the fly isn't something that we care to do, as...

I'm sorry, Red Oak, I didn't mean to or want to violate Julie's privacy. As the OP, I was commending Mountain Rescue Service for sticking up for Julie's skills and preparedness that most certainly resulted in her walking out in good condition and good company. I can't...

http://www.conwaydailysun.com/index.php/newsx/local-news/89430-rescuebill-041312 I'm glad to see that the real volunteers who put their boots on the ground at no cost to anyone are standing up and being counted. Breeze

I have fond memories of feeding birds here year round. Thats all they are now -- fond memories. We've been in the same house 23 years. 10 years ago we were targeted by the neighborhood Ursus Minor Trip Advisor as #1 or #2 in the neighborhood for good eats. We know that one...

In another thread yesterday evening I mentioned a heavy Helo in the Bethel area. The Lewiston Sun Journal article explains.... http://www.sunjournal.com/news/oxford-hills/1177435 Maine Forest Service has been back for a fly-over this morning. NWS has put up a Red Flag Warning for...

Heavy helo in Bethel yesterday evening was a Maine Forest Service helo with water bucket. http://www.sunjournal.com/news/oxford-hills/1177435

She does have a name and she is safe at home. Nya has all the genotype and phenotype of a Canid born and conditioned to cover distance efficiently with purpose and speed. Anyone's guess as to whether that dang dog actually has brain pan space for a Brain Fart Learning...

Wouldn't surprise me in the least if that is a co-worker's Keeshond/Husky Mix Nya. right Locale....... Except that Nya is female :):):):) Nya has a super talent for slipping anything you put on her...... collar, harness.... anything. When she wants to go---- she goes. Might as...

We had a brief flurry in West Bethel ME this morning, when I let the dog out @ 8 AM it looked like someone had taken a salt shaker to the back steps. Gone without a trace by 9:00 AM. My forsythia is in BLOOM, not BUD. I expect that to be...

I don't have advice about the conditioning or actual performance part of racing, but I can probably answer a lot of your questions about the logistics of the event. When the race packet comes, pore over every detail. If you elect to be her " ride down", you'll need to know what...

I saw my first one ever last summer not in the WMNF proper, but crossing Rt 2 in Shelburne-- leaving a little kettle pond near the wood chipping plant and crossing over to the Androscoggin. Very interesting critters with a graceful undulating motion even on land. Breeze

Belfast is a place we pass through frequently on our way from Western Maine to Hancock where we have family and a shared summer vacation property. Belfast's downtown area is in transformation from the near-dead. As in all things, some of it is wonderful, creative and tasty. There is...

Thanks Nessmuk. Breeze

Are USFS staff or F&G Conservation Officers hourly or salaried ? If volunteers are compensated in cash in any way, are they truly volunteers? Or do we strip them of that level of service to community and make them pay taxes all on reimbursement for any involvement? Are...

The more this goes around in circles, the more confused I get. I must be the freaking village idiot. Maybe I just see too much and have no voice. Mountain Rescue Services is 100 % volunteer. AMC, RMC, AVSAR, PemiSAR and many other organized but civilian entities are...

The small motel in Shelburne, now known as Birch Bend, is closed for the winter according their marquee sign. Breeze
