What a cool idea. I'm definately in on this. Thanks for the heads-up!

Good work as usual, FG. If mama is ready to give birth then that calf she's with now is about to become an orphan!

I agree with the court's decision. Quote from the article: He cited a medical condition "we are not at liberty to talk about." Garabedian said the state is reserving its right to pursue the case. What's that about?!

That's good news about the Cohos Trail. A great recovery considering they almost had to close the trail permanently in 2008. Congrats to Kim, Pete Castine, et al....

I heard/read that because of the heavy rains, experts are disagreeing on the severity of the mosquito infestation this year. Some think that the dampness would encourage growth, others say that because there was too much water it will tend to kill off the eggs. Black fly larvae mature in...

hilarious!! What's that you say? Racist comments in a rap song? Unpossible!

1) From Appalachia TH? 2) Red Pond others) I defer

It sounds like you're talking about a 2-nite backpack, and if thats the case then you'll be fine. The trails aren't any more crowded that week than they usually are, but the roads, parking lots and roadside campgrounds are much busier, especially in good weather. Personally, I try to stay away...

With as much as 76" of snow reported at some elevations today, that snow ain't going anywhere soon. http://www.outdoors.org/recreation/tripplanner/go/index.cfm

I dont think they're at the point where they've decided on a specific location. I know a businessman in Groveton who has lobbyed to have one built just north of the town (near the vacant Emerson's building). I wouldn't hold your breath on this one though. Why would anyone invest a few hundred...

I know! That's the Tablelands in Newfoundland. I didnt take any rocks from there. Imagine getting busted at the border for rock smuggling?

One thing that I've done is to collect rocks from everyplace I've hiked and I've built my own cairn in my backyard. I'll take a rock (something about double-fist size, preferably flat) from a summit or a trail or a trailhead or from a river I've fished, write it's original location and date on...

roadtripper, I purchased one of the replica cairns at Steve's store a few years ago and it's an awesome keepsake (I've got the Lafayette one). Somebody told me that the guy who made them (cant remember his name) doesn't do it anymore, or at least makes them very rarely. I'd call Steve and ask...

Uggh....the pain. I wondered if Bill was a VFTT'er when I read the story in the paper. At least I'm sure that he's receiving excellent care in Concord. That facility is first rate for osteo. Get well soon Bill. bob

Kevin, I was lucky enough to be out there after the rains finally stopped. I had never seen the desert more alive with color. It was amazing. One more thing about hiking Vegas - you should check out Branch Whitney's website, hikinglasvegas.com for info on hikes. He has a monthly newsletter that...

That's a good point. And the shuttle does not operate 12 mos/yr. Pretty safe bet that it'll be running in April though.

Another vote for Red Rock. And if you go there, Turtlehead Peak is a heckuva climb. 5 miles r/t, about 2200-2500 gain, awesome views at the summit. You can get trail info at the visitor center there. (link to my youtube vid of Turtlehead, March 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEpapC53FPI)...

Mountain bike is a older Cannondale hardtail, which is perfect for the type of riding I do (mostly forest roads). Love it. Road bike is a 1999 Lemond Buenos Aires that is for sale.

Wow, 7 days, 17 hours. That is truly amazing. Shake 'n' Bake!

It's a great podcast. For some reason, iTunes doesn't pick it up so it's only available on the F&G website. I'm not sure if F&G offers a subscribe option like iTunes does. If you want to go back a few months, check out last Octobers podcast about wild cats. Great info there about lynx...
