I am sorry to hear of his passing. I never met him but he was a highlight on VFTT with his wealth of knowledge.

Critical life activities Here is the list of exceptions. I guess I could count the NH State store as a shopping trip. While I think hiking is critical, MA does not. Luckily I can mtn bike MA and have a good time. The state also exempts certain short, same-day trips across the border and...

Thank you moderators Best thread in years! It’s actually worth checking back every day.

Old but still Hot

I was up there last weekend with my 10 year old son. Hi-Cannon was not broken out and I was not sure how my dog would fair on the ladder so we went up the Lonesome Lake Trail. It was not broken either but we headed up on snowshoes. Several bare boot parties and a couple of parties on snowshoes...

Might want to take a look at Cold Cold World packs. Pretty light, bomber, easy to attach snowshoes and crampons. Made in NH. http://www.coldcoldworldpacks.com/chaos.htm

Busted Ouch. I sprained my ankle on Adams last Sunday and had to hobble down the Sphinx, camp and hobble to Pinkham Monday something can relate. I have way better luck with trail runners especially Altras.

Always an adventure in there.

There is no longer a designated site at 4140' I found the spot but the sign is gone and the site is full of blowdown. Great trail but lots of things to work around especially up high. Worth it.

I wacked up to Zealand from the Little River valley back in 2008 with NH_MTN_HIKER. Those talus slopes are pretty unstable so be careful. One of the tougher wacks I've been on above the talus. Just be careful. Loving your trip reports!

Seems like a hero to me and I don't use the term lightly.

Good work guys.

There is at least one FS designated site north of the shelter past the blowdown area (awesome axe work), not sure if there is a water source.

Poor Ohio.

"No Bridge" National Forest. Regret Wilderness designation.

Thanks Amicus

I can tell you that the Thoreau Falls trail is lightly used as it is. If the bridge is gone it will be a pain in the ass, to be honest. Maybe get get back on topic and write the WMNF and the NH senator as Frodo suggested.

Those are some of the best trails in the Whites. I've done both several times. I would go up 6H if I had a choice. The last time I did it was last October. There is a new set of ladders that make it a bit tamer. I disagree that Sphinx is mostly a bail out route. It is a fine trail. Thanks...
