Thanks for the report!

Nice work hiking, and filming!

Cool, thanks. He is also the YouTuber "sipover", with over 2 million subscribers. He's been on there for ten years with entirely Minecraft game content. Maybe he made the money he needed for Everest with the ad revenue from Minecraft videos. Which is pretty smart. I guess I really did have a...

Thanks! It was fun watching the sunset move across the land below.

Thanks, I also saw he'd been on Aconcagua and others. Do you happen to know if he's a local or from the area? His buddy that day was from NH but lives in Washington state, I believe they said. And saw your trip report on NETC, thanks for that. I didn't file, as two others did that day. Those...

Not any special route or effort, just a great day in nature. We hit the trail at 9am this past Thursday, December 26, going up Ammo to Lakes of the Clouds Hut and Mount Madison, then over to Mount Washington, and down along the path beside the Cog. Made it back to their parking lot at 5:30pm...

Here's a Steve Smith report from that same era, 2009. It refers to the Views poster I linked above, who also comments there in the blog. As usual, Steve's report and photos are concise, evocative, and will induce you to get up and go hike there...

I have no experience on this old trail. I searched (via goggle) and found this old post here, by the trail maintainer at that time: https://www.vftt.org/threads/visiting-a-section-of-"ye-olde"-osgood-trail-doing-a-short-loop-hike-02-jan-2009.27121/ It includes a map of the old Osgood route...

Thanks for the old report, Hillwalker! Happy hiking, and happy birthday.

It's probably to avoid how Falling Waters Trail crosses and recrosses Dry Brook below and around Cloudland Falls. Isn't this an area where folks get injured? The link has a map of the re-route. I didn't read all the reports attached there. Thanks for the link!

About finding the Falling Waters Trail while descending from Little Haystack: I was last up there in July, and recall seeing the trail there marked with small poles and cord/rope between then, marking a path to keep folks off of the vegetation. Anyone recall if these stay up in the late fall...

Below is the FH N&G press release about the incident, which occurred on December 19. Then from their Facebook post I've added two photos of the helicopter in action. Good work by the SAR team members, flight crew, F&G officers, and hospital staff - they saved a life yesterday. press release...

Adding to the Maine coast discussion... Quoddy Head SP, way out at the eastern point of Maine and the US, has some really nice trails too. And there's Acadia. If you're going out to Cutler there are these other spots not too far. I wonder if Peakbagger would step in and say, this needs a new...

I stepped outside last night about 11pm in central Connecticut, and immediately saw two meteors streak by, one to north and the other east. Then a few small ones, and after a few minutes, two large, fast, bright meteors more overhead. Brighter than Jupiter, I'd say, and really cool to see. Pity...

About the curiosity with the mishaps of others, we can all learn from their mistakes. It's good to know what went wrong, so as to be aware of it and avoid it.

In my 20s/30s, I would occasionally use a single wooden hiking staff, a good strong piece of found wood. But I was only hiking occasionally. I think the wood staff had a kind of cool factor for younger me, wizard-like or old man of the mountains, I suppose. Since my mid 40s, a decade ago and...

I think the F&G press release confirms your thoughts.

My condolences to his family and friends. Thanks to the SAR teams and F&G for all they do. Here's the NH F&G facebook post: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19rgVyYMW7/ Press Release NH Fish and Game Law Enforcement Division and Operation Game Thief Saturday, November 23 at 5:40pm...

Some news coverage of a large wildfire in Western Massachusetts. It is just north of, and quite close to, the Appalachian Trail. Nov 19 - "Crews to return to fight Butternut Fire in the morning; fire may not be fully extinguished until winter" GREAT BARRINGTON — The slow-moving wildfire that...
