Thanks for the birthday wishes. I had a great one and got some new gear!

I got that email too and was so sad to hear they might not be opening. After checking the page today, they will be opening Dec. 26 with limited trails at a reduced rate. So I guess there's hope for skiing there this winter after all.

Those were great. I totally needed a giggle! :)

Looks like I'll be hitting the Midstate Trail again then. Thanks for the info! :rolleyes:

Hopeful Snow Melting? Just wondering if any one knows about snow coverage (or hopeful lack of snow coverage) in the Belknaps? I'd love to do a day hike this weekend but I have hiking buddies that would balk at the idea of snow.

I grew up in Chemsfed and most of my friends pronounced Billerica as Bell-Rika. I still haven't figured out how it's supposed to be pronounced. Maybe I'll ask some locals as I'm heading there today.

Thanks so much! Looks like I'll be heading North today.

I've been on a hiking hiatis due to physical therapy for my knees. However, this weekend I want to get outdoors and explore. Does anyone have suggestions for some flatish trails up in the Whites? -Jen

That's a real bummer. I'm sorry things didn't pan out for you. I do let weather dictate a bit. Generally if I hear predictions of thunderstorms I'll bail on a trip (like this weekend). But I definitely think he should have let you know about his weather ideas prior to the departure time.

Thanks so much for this post. I typically have not thought about Emergancy contact info in my pack or on my person. Generally I have my license and thats about it. As for the ICE- I thought that was just a rumor. Like so many of the other cell phone related email forwards I receive. Do...

We'll be up on Passaconaway and Whiteface on Saturday. Maybe we'll see you. :)

Rain Rain Rain Salem was bad yesterday and continues to be bad today. I actually received a call from my boss (in Pelham) to tell me not to try to go to work today (in N. Andover) because every exit ramp is closed to get to our office and to top it off every backroad way I know to get there...

It could quite possibly be the era that people were in scouts. I do know some of the women in my office look at what I do and scratch their heads. They prefer a more comfortable style of camping. At the same time, I have recently sorted through our council's camp history and some of the...

Nature Girl from Suburbia It's interesting to me that there are so many negative posts about scouts (girl scouting in paticular) and summer camp. I actually work in the outdoor program department of my Girl Scout council and consider my past experiences with summer camp and the Girl Scouts a...

Depends on the mood or what I can find. Typically just a spoon but occasionall a spoon and fork (lexan for both) Jen

Missed my chance I knew it was going on due to my last visit to the store. I thought I'd receive a reminder email. Completely spaced it. :rolleyes: Oh well sounds like some people got some good deals that I couldn't get to.

Donkey for dinner? Is it just me or is the caption to the picture a little bit off in that story? If its not, poor donkeys. "Participants behind the table act as chefs and call off the types of food they need to make an imaginary healthy meal Wednesday during a workshop at the Boys & Girls Club"

Change in plans My method of peakbagging is a bit more planned out than most. It started as a once a year hiking trip on my birthday (first day of summer) with a whole bunch of friends. Then I found a list. I love lists! My husband will tell you I am the queen of lists. List for this, list...
