Great story, E-B! Saguenay surprised me for being so developed. I was surprised how sprawled out they are. I can understand your attraction for the wilderness area. With miles and miles of balsam firs packed together like matchsticks, it really gives off a primeval vibe. I can't make heads...

A question for the Canadien VFTTer's (or Americans in the know)... I'm hoping someone can help me with some info on the area north of Quebec City, les Reserve Faunique des Laurentides. I noticed that there are a lot of forest roads which (supposedly) lead to backwoods lakes off of Rte 175 to...

Didn't feel a thing in Bartlett.

Neil, Gros Morne is spectacular. We were there in Aug 2001 but I doubt much has changed since then - things in Newfoundland never change. The highlight hike of the trip was Green Gardens. 11 miles of rolling hills and ladders along the western coast. It's one of the most beautiful hikes I've...

....or a World Cup match.

Very interesting video, for those interested in the subject. Interesting takeaways from the presentation; - Kemper's .ppt presentation recognized no sitings in NH or VT, only in ME, NY, PQ. - You can tell a cat print from a dog print because cat prints DO NOT leave claw marks. I never knew...

Great pix, it looks like we have another excellent photographer on VFTT. I was going to ask the same question as MichaelJ did about #4 - awesome shot, thanks for posting! bob

h-w-h, When I was getting started with the 4000'ers (and before I knew of VFFT), I got all of my questions answered at Mohamed's website. When used with the AMC Guide, it has all the information a hiker needs. His "Routes To The Peaks" section has it all - comparative mileage, gain, and time...

I can smell it here this morning, just north of Concord, but it smells more like garbage burning than that nice woody smell.

I was told by a customs agent at the border (Rt 3) that in order to cross over either way, you must have a passport. No exceptions.

This article on coyotes will appear in the magazine section of tomorrow's Globe. http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/magazine/articles/2010/05/30/how_we_can_coexist_peacefully_with_coyotes/ Interesting quote from the article - "If a coyote is staring at or following you, he probably has had...

Here's one. Sardog, just pm me with her contact info. If she wants the picture, she can have it. I wasn't planning on it funding my retirement on anything.

C'mon Brian, EVERYONE reads The Onion! ;)

No kidding! Where else but on VFTT are you gonna get discussions like this?

Cherry Mtn Rd was open today and I heard from the guy at Berts Deli on 302 that Bear Notch Rd is scheduled to open this Friday. BTW, nice lunch menu at Bert's. (or is it Bart's?) bob

I'll bet that if you bring it to another EMS store, you'll have more success. Sounds like you ran into a bad salesperson on Comm Ave.

I knew you all would come through with the good info. Thanks, keep it coming! We plan on flying into Spokane, WA, spending 3-4 days at a backwoods lodge in northern Idaho, then drive down to the parks and end up flying home out of Salt Lake City, UT. I'm hoping to find a place to rent for 2-3...

Can anyone recommend a hotel near Yellowstone and/or Grand Tetons? Not necessarily a cheap place, but maybe a place you know of that's a good value. We'll be coming in from the west. Maybe some place in West Yellowstone, Mt? Also, are there any part of those parks that aren't too crowded in...

I saw it too. I think they were cleaning up from last winters ice storm. You could see from Rt 113 that there were still a ton of trees keeled over in that area and it sure looked like storm damage to me. I saw the orange US Forestry pickup trucks and lots of workers with chainsaws but but there...

If you want a technical discussion of this storm, check out Matt Noyes' homepage. He says there's going to be tremendous millibar vorcicity invection!! (I have no idea what that means but it sounds good.) We're talking 925 milibars here. The long and short of it is 3-5" in the Whites, but a...
