how many of those hikers needing a ride down are going to count that as a successful summit?

That puts her in the Middle of the Wilderness area. My favorite wilderness area.

My wife and I drove to the Saco Rivr Ranger station Thursday to escape the heat and buy my life time senior citizen pass, mostly to get discounts on Federal Camgrounds. We went from a high of 103 in North Conway to a low of 68 North of Franconia Notch. The thunderstorm was pretty cool. Drove...

I wondered if the AMC would get Startlink for the hut system. I've been using Starlink in my offgrid trailer for the last two years. Only place it didn't work was when I camphosted in Oregon, too many trees. Crappy cell service at that campground, too. We would take Starlink and an external...

The only time I've ever experienced a "Place of Power", that I could call such, was the Heart of the Monster that was sacred to the Nez Perce tribe. The nearer to the artifact I got, the stronger the sensation. It wasn't scarey as much as a feeling of energy that made me tingle. The feeling...

Last I knew, it was on private property. Go check out Dagget Rock?

Trail runners allow your ankle to flex, as it is intended. Ankle mobility would lessen injuries to the lower leg, not increase them.

Would that be a bad thing? A news source that is intellectually or morally dishonest is worse than no news at all...which has been my preference for 20 years or so. I've had to turn to Al-Jazeera for a different slant once in awhile

This looks like an example of an AI written article. Holy crap is it awful.

The Human race will be extinct soon enough and the Earth will continue to go through its normal warming and cooling trends. Because of all the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, photosynthesis is increasing, pulling even more carbon out of the atmosphere. All the warming will melt the ice caps...

I wonder if its Guy Roy? I've used him before, July 4th, pickup at Sugarloaf and took us back to our start point on Rt4. $100 and I think we tipped him $20. Looking at the website, I would say it is. He did the shuttling for MH&T.

So are sick people. There have been a few murders in the White Mountains, a few more on the AT. The last predatory black bear fatality was on the AT in NJ not that long ago. The risk isn't zero, but its pretty low. Pepper spray works pretty well unless the wind is blowing into your face, then...

I don't know, it's probably a mistaken assumption that you were more liberal. Who knows?

Frankly, I'm surprised at the last part. I never took you for one who carried. Out here, there is way less objection to it, unless California. Almost everyone we camphost with, has one, or more. Personally, I never wanted to carry the weight, but I'm lazy. Self-defense is a personal right and a...

I'm almost ready to eat the huckleberries. Figures there would be a bumper crop when I'm 3000 miles away.

Even the camphosts at Wild River said on the weekends, they got a few of those. Being a former drunken a**hole myself, I can relate. Most of the campers are pretty cool, once you talk to them. I'm not lonely enough to want to talk to strangers, in person, most days. Cleaning pit toilets is not...

We spent one night in the Black Hills, camping out, on our way to pick up the camper a couple years ago. I guess it's been three years now. Didn't see any bison, just lots of deer. Was suggested we go to Custer State park, but go early in the morning. The wildlife tends to move away from the...

People who refuse to follow safety rules, or even safety common sense. Stupid people in general and the only way to get a day off is to leave. It isn't that bad, because most times there is something we want to see or a hike to go on. Having a reason to leave is an escape and motivation. Worst...

I'm camphosting in Oregon. There was a thunderstorm the day we arrived, a month later we had a cold snap and it rained for three days...and that's been it since may 10th. We are expecting firebans to go into effect soon. I thought it was a great Summer gig until 4th of July week. We are on...

I do enjoy the looks I get as I splash across the water crossings, without pause, from those sitting on a log putting on water shoes. It may be one of the primary reasons I quit wearing hiking boots for three season use.
