    2024: Leas snow than normal

    More blatant hyperbole from the environmental extremists! :p :p:p:p:p Haley LaPointe gave birth to her 4th child in June. I would have sworn that she had more also.

    2024: Leas snow than normal

    So you're reasoning is that mankind is too insignificant to have an impact on this that are global in size? So I'm guessing that you also feel that the depletion of the ozone layer and subsequent stabilization/improvement after CFC's & other similar chemicals were banned could not have been...

    Footwear of Hut Crews

    Speaking of "Domes", I still have my 1st pair of Nike Lava Dome's, the "first" trail runners from 1982+\- (they were marketed as "approach shoes"). I had WMNF rangers telling me multiple times that these were unsafe for hiking and that I would be needing rescue for ankle injuries (true story)...

    Tops of boots above ankles wearing out

    I had worn out the fabric in the heal area in several pairs of shoe and tried using fabric glue to attach a new layer of fabric over the area, but this also wore out rather quickly. Then I remembered that I had a large section of tanned dear hide, so I cut out a matching area and used Gorilla...

    Sleeping in cars allowed at Lafayette Place?

    What is stopping a place like the former Lowes store(just for an example) from charging people $10 a night to allow them to sleep in their cars overnight, and have a couple of porta-pottys behind the building. It's private property...... Just throwing it out there.

    Its that time of year again - Tick Season

    I am sure that is what happened to me quite a few years ago on a hike up S. Pack. I did the hike up S. Pack before work and had way more than 20+ nymphs on my legs and pants when I got to my office about 2 minutes away. I was so jumpy for the next few days whenever a felt a twitch, that I...

    Bugs In Southern NH

    Hiked S pack yesterday and took the time to prepare with lots of bug spray, but was amazed that there were no black flies or mosquitoes. Even the dreaded eye nats were non existent. Anyone else experiencing the same? With all of the recent wet weather, I was expecting worse.

    I arrived at CMC yesterday at 9am, was taken down to the procedure room at 12:30, was back in my room at 1:30, and was home at 7. They found that my main(right) cardiac artery was almost completely blocked, but were able to place a stent and open the artery back up. The xray images are cool and...
