    How long is a sealed jar of Sno-Seal good for ?

    I'll open it soon and see as I have new boots to break in and seal. I have previously baked boots at like 150' and used plumbers torch to melt snow seal in. I'll need to review recommended techniques ;)

    About forever, right ? I'm thinking this one is about 25 years old.

    AT in CT: Is that railcar dump of wood still there near Falls Village ?

    Thanks. Apparently railroads have different rules. That was good wood there for a long time.

    RIP Paradox :(

    I met John about 12 years ago when he joined my family for a Flags on the 48 hike. Jackson or Pierce. I asked him about his trail name: "What is that about ? A mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a Paradox ?" "No", he replied: "I have 2 Doctorates." OKAY ! So, he has a sense of humor AND...

    Top Ten Worst Small Towns in NH!

    Country is beautiful. The drive west on 9 from 91 over that switchback (Hogback ?) is in my subconscious as a favored mountain vista. I was comparing specific towns, as in the OP.

    Top Ten Worst Small Towns in NH!

    A little more expensive, in the long run, I suppose. The current landfill is a snow covered, winter vista, down there by the river.

    Top Ten Worst Small Towns in NH!

    It's still a far cry better than Wells River, though. Like St J vs Littleton.

    Gear website name I can't recall ?

    About 10 years ago I was finding good deals on a site with an odd name that I can't remember now. It was set up in categories that would link to other sites deals. With Amazon now, this old site may be out of business. Any idea what it was called ? Thanks.

    Top Ten Worst Small Towns in NH!

    Yes. Please DO NOT STOP in Bethlehem. The easy access to the highways, shopping, the larger towns, the Notches, the Art Scene, the food, the Trailheads, etc. It all is bad.

    bring extra microspiikes/crampons

    it's ice, ice baby and some are not prepared. it's amazing how far a young couple got up the trail before crashing hard on the ice. we split our microspikes with them so we all had 1 on the way out.

    Do things suck up north?

    All this is correct, from what we saw. Microspikes from the parking lot, especially after the recent rain/thaw/freeze. Nothing in the forecast to change that anytime this week.

    Do things suck up north?

    There may be more gravity, but things never suck up north ;) I'll report what I've seen on Sunday, closer to your date. Though things will have changed again by the 3rd.

    Funding for continuing VFTT

    Would do recurring monthly, but need to recover/remember my PayPal password, apparently. I'll work on that. Thanks for the voodoo that you do.

    Practicing self-arrest

    Tecumseh maybe. and there's a couple areas you could sneak briefly onto the ski slope. Try to practice upside down and backwards/awkward falls.
