I have a desire to take a couple of courses/workshops as follows: - Wilderness First Aid, and; - Map and Compass I know that the AMC and REI offer these but wonder if anyone can offer me feedback as to their experience with these and their satisfaction levels. Who has a preference for the...

As if it weren't bad enough that the poor animal was hit by a car and eventually died, someone had to also come by and saw off its antlers to further desecrate it?? :eek:

I guess I should thank Peter for enticing me to do Ponkapoag as he had invited me to do this one with him on Friday but I missed him at the trailhead by about 5 minutes or so. Today I decided to venture out on my own and have my own little adventure there. Thanks Peter!! :p

On the southern tip of the Blue Hills Reservation (in Massachusetts) are several ponds: Houghton's Pond and a much larger one called, Ponkapoag Pond. Today I started off on the Ponkapoag Trail and circled around this scenic 4.1 mile pond which loops under pines and passes by a rare Atlantic...

Yes, Matt, thanks again for making the presentation along with your buddies to us recently! I really enjoyed your slide show and hearing first hand of your backpacking experience there! The bear story was priceless too! This is truly a spectacular area from what I learned recently and as I...

Tony, Good luck with your 1/2 marathon!!

Postponed... I knew my LATE POST was a long shot and as I really want to do this hike with at least one other person, I am going to postpone this one to a later date. I have a backup plan for today...HOWEVER, if anyone really feels they'd like to do Pack North in the near future, drop me a PM...

Bob, Why not try the EMS Thunderhead II jacket that you always saw me wear when we hiked and it rained or poured? It's actually now on sale at EMS and they also have the pants to go with it. I really have never tried any other rain jacket other than this one but I can attest that this one...

Pictures... I'll have to go back soon, most definitely! If anyone here has a desire to do the North Pack with me, please PM me so we can coordinate a hike there together sometime soon. Finally, here are my pics: Best,

Thanks Tony! Yes, I was impressed with this peak and the hike! Plan to do the North Pack sometime soon as well from the other direction (off Mountain Road). Thanks Tony for your prior TR write-up on it as it got me enthused to do this one! Please note that I definitely "read" your posts! :p

Julie: They appeared to be closed for the season as no one was manning the booth. The lot appeared to be half full when I arrived and even when I left so there was constant traffic of visitors.

Pack Monadnock (Miller State Park) Via Marion Davis Trail and Wapack Trail Started off the hike with a 1.5 hour trip towards Peterborough, NH via Route 101 West from Manchester, NH accompanied by Sunday Morning Jazz, best companion ever!! :D I opted to do this hike as opposed to a Waumbek...

Thank you all for the b-day wishes! It really was a nice hike and I am glad I chose this trail! Recommend it highly to anyone including avid and non-hikers! Best,

I’d heard and read about the Greeley Ponds Scenic Area and had long wanted to do this hike. Time and time again, I had forgone doing this shorter, scenic hike in the interest of doing other more ambitious ones and in the company of others. So this past week in trying to determine how to...

I am doing this too! Am so excited! :D I did winter hiking regularly last season for the first time with the guidance of some friends from VFTT. I'd like some formal training though! For me it's convenient as I come home from work via Park Street and Joy Street is nearby. Thanks for...

Tony, from what I hear, the 3rd hiker is little, old me?? :p I gotta get a copy! What a great day and event! God bless America!!

Mt Chocorua takes on new meaning for us... As Magic mentioned above, yesterday I took the day off and a group of us hiked Mt Chocorua, elevation 3500. It was a really pretty day weatherwise and of the whole 8 of us, I only knew two people, Magic and Lisa. Met the others and right away I...

Thanks BobandGeri! Just ordered online and I am on my way to being in full compliance! :p

Does anyone know if it's possible to buy one online or by phone and have it mailed? I live in Boston and can't always get up there to pick one up.
