Both MUR and Conway Daily Sun have more info. Basically, there is a spreading brush fire in Albany NH, right now up to 100 acres. http://www.wmur.com/article/crews-battle-brush-fire-in-albany-for-second-day/8284826 Be careful out there.

Mike and Dianne are legendary. They are also people you'd invite to your back yard cook out or pool party, or just over for a fireside chat, because they are , to the core, some of the nicest folk you'd ever be privileged to know. If you were in trouble...

SSDD. Apparently some folks don't know that it gets dark. Not sure how you educate for that, but for sure a cursory visit to any Tractor Supply store can put a headlamp in your hands for 5 bucks. Buy extra batteries for 2 bucks. Might not be the...

Past peak by this weekend, Billy, at least in the northern pressies. We along the Androscoggin Valley are seeing rapid leaf drop and dulling of color. Not to say there won't be " decent" color, still, but " peak" is moving south, quickly.

If you can make it up to the summit of Mt Washington while the summit building is open, ask anyone wearing a NHSP uniform about the waste-treatment unit there. Granted, that is a road-served location. Hey, when your gut says you gotta, you gotta, road...

Two sides of the coin, actually. How long will a wilderness area stay " wild" if access is easy and assisted ?

In Gorham, perhaps try the Town and Country Motel bar......... a Motel in NH is not required to have full kitchen service as a pre-requisite to liquor service. J's Corner and Yokohama close at 9 PM, and The Dynasty Buffet restaurant closes at 9: 30. Mary's Pizza closes at 9...

Sorry to bring not great news, but I will have to correct myself. Mr Pizza is closing at 9 PM on Thursday night this week, and will re-open Monday 9/26. New carpet on one side, major fall cleaning throughout the restaurant. The dining room on the right ( facing the building)...

Mr. Pizza Main St Gorham is a reliable choice. Menu is wide ranging and the beer selection is good. Louise will be the bar keep on a Thursday night. Generally, the company at the bar at Mr Pizza is friendly and very agreeable.

If up in the Gorham area, there is usually camp wood by the bundle in an open shelter right across from Libby Pool on route 16. Cash box on the side of the shelter.

Where does the Old Jackson Road cross the Auto Road ? Answer-- at 2 mile park. What is the shortest distance from MWAR to PNVC ? Old Jackson Road. Oh, yeay, it is also part of the A T. Prominently signed. How would anyone know that ?? Oh, a map would be...

Drop in to Staples in North Conway, leave the laptop with them for a keyboard cleaning. Pick it up on your way out of town.

I live very rurally in far western Maine, almost on the NH border. Been here for 26 years. It is a regular occurrence to hear a pack of coyotes in the evenings when windows and doors are open. We are pretty darn close to a WMNF forest boundary, I can get to it in 10...

It is not the ATV's anyone objects to, as ATV's don't have attitude.

LOLOL < I > don't agree with the perceptions about the North Country that I posted. It isn't a matter of agreeing , it is a matter of recognizing that the perceptions are there and they are voiced to locals by visitors. Locals, working as hard they possibly can, to...

PB is quite spot on. There is local push-back to the ATV swell, especially when there are large scale events. I'm not sure who in their right mind thinks that 2000 ATV's in one day is reasonable traffic for the Mt Washington Auto Road, but lots of ATV...

Daytrip, all you really have to do is go hang out at PNVC , or the dispatch desk at MWAR, or eavesdrop at the MWAR tollhouse. Probably the same thing happens at Highland Center. You'll quickly understand how woefully unprepared so many " hikers" truly are. Where...

Yes. Carla, it does. Pinkham Notch would be a good place to avoid , especially on Saturday 6/18. There is a huge footrace on Mt Washington in the AM, and by the time the auto road opens for traffic at 1 PM, the usual scenario involves traffic backed up on either...

I was fortunate to meet George and Inch, about a month before she missed her rendezvous with George . Saw them twice, actually. First meeting was when George picked her up on the Auto Road at the trail junction at 2 mile park. He was picking her up and taking her into...

Maine Warden Service released the entire file. I believe that Portland Press Herald and Bangor Daily News may also have received the same. Having met this couple in June prior to her disappearance, it hurts my heart that George now knows she was alive and waiting for...
