OK. So I did a quick search of this topic and came up with this conclusion. Success Pond Road is open in winter. I couldn't find out in the threads i found, if it's plowed. So, is it plowed usually? I assume after a storm, it might take a few days. The main thing is the gate. It is open in...

Man, you have to have a sh*t ton of disposable income to buy these things.

Funny you say that. Maybe 10 years ago or a little less, a bear was getting into backpacks people were dropping at the bottom of Owls Head slide. I do not remember where I heard/read this could have been here. Rangers were giving people hell for doing this. And rightfully so.

I was headed in for a night in the Pemi on the Eastside Trail in 2013. I ran into a ranger heading out. He warned me about a problem bear in the Still Water Junction area. He/she was getting into hangs, paying no attention to people trying to scare it off. The ranger said he thought it might be...

Yup! After a long day doing Madison Gulf then hitting Adams, we thought skipping Madison by using Parapet was a good idea. It may have taken a couple tenths of a mile to realize this was not the right choice. Knowing how easy, comparatively, going over Madison would have been. I rolled an ankle...

I've gone as far as the Notch Trail from the Berlin side of SPR. Have driven it in a a couple different vehicle types, from spring to fall. I have never had an issue really. But, you have to take this one slow, particularly if you have a low clearance vehicle. The biggest issue from my...

I saw 2 others last week. One was at the Crawford connecter lot. Can't remember where I saw the other. Possibly Arethusa Falls/Frankenstein Cliff.

A little less ad noise. https://www.wcvb.com/article/missing-hiker-from-massachusetts-found-dead-new-hampshire/60781837

Interesting. I wonder if that's an hypothesis the authorities have thought of. I don't know how much news coverage this has had, so I suppose if someone gave him a lift they may not be aware of this. This also could work from the other direction. Possibly could have started on the Webster Cliff...

Resumed the search, pretty extensively. Nothing new. https://nhfishgame.com/2024/05/06/search-for-missing-massachusetts-man-resumes-but-no-new-leads/

Not knowing for sure his ability or destination, everything is speculation. The note mentioned Jefferson or Adams. But starting there doesn't make sense if that was his plan. Quite a few years ago someone ended up in the Dry River Wilderness after taking the Mt. Clinton Tr. Some people know...

Maybe too late, but this is a favorite of mine. First, MapAdventures Acadia is a must have. Since this time of year the Bubble Pond parking lot is still open, doing a loop, hitting the peaks around Jordan Pond is an awesome hike. I always go clockwise. This is just one version. You can add 3...

Not a good day to be messing around with water crossings.

A rare event for sure. But, I do remember the Total Eclipse July 20th 1963. Don't remember the exact % where I was. Just guessing, 90. Just remember it looking like twilight in the afternoon. I'm all set with the sh*t storm the traffic will be like on I's 93 & 95. What I get from where I am...

Been in that area 3 times, only to use 27A to get to Rocky Branch Dome. (Not an official name as far as I know.) Very cool little knob.

Since we've drifted away :LOL:, from Sawyer River Road, I have a question about Rocky Branch Rd. Non-winter parking was at a gate, just before the first of the 2 bridges going over Rocky Branch River. The first being an older wooden bridge. The second the newly replaced. My question is, could...

I was at the RBR bridge last, in October 2022 and it was still there. However, the road which was severely washed had been repaired. My previous visit was 2019. It would have needed to be repaired to get equipment up to, and remove the bridge. Have no idea if that happened sometime last year...

Didn't realize they finally removed it.
