Scott's Eclipse Plans: I've already let my students know that classes will be cancelled that day. This is my last shot at a total eclipse. I have not made any reservations anyplace, because I wanted to be flexible on where I go depending on the forecast. Probably too late to get a place along the path anyway. Northern New England in April is likely to be overcast. If we do get a rare clear Spring Day in New England, I will probably drive to Burlington VT and watch it from the shores of Lake Cham…

I've been trying to start walking again. Winter always leaves me fat, lazy and out of shape. Just snuck in a 4-mile walk along the beach between rain showers today while at work.

Oh, I wish I could be there.

There seem to be a ton of skiers going 'off trail' this year and getting lost. It seems to be purposeful. I wonder, is this a 'Tik Tok' thing? Anyway, this one ended in a tragedy... boston.com/news/local-news/202…esort/?p1=hp_featurestack

Kayak Badwater basin, now that is something I would like to try. msn.com/en-us/weather/topstori…ly-lake-manly/ar-BB1iDIZ4

Followup story with some quotes from the hiker... boston.com/news/local-news/202…erprepared/?p1=hp_primary He sounds much more apologetic. I think he is trying to head off a very large bill that may be coming.

Quote from rhjanes: “That hiker made poor choices followed by more poor choices and then some more. Could he be subject to a rescue bill? ” From the tone of the article, I assume that is coming next. Wonder how much it costs to send two whole Cog Railway Trains up the mountain for one person?

SAR sounded pretty pissed off on this one... boston.com/news/local-news/202…ngton/?p1=hp_featurestack

No, we all should though. Last time I was in Millinocket I hit a Hot Dog stand. Certain parts of Maine have these weird red hot dogs called 'Red Snappers.' Worth a try.

It is just another Tuesday in the North. I think I brought a P&J sandwich to work that day

Hello MNR, I am going to go with Not realistic. Definitely would not be enjoyable in my mind. If you need to keep your full time job, I would recommend just enjoying some hiking weekends and vacations for now. Section hiking is great.

Rhode Islanders are tough... boston.com/news/local-news/202…re-hands/?p1=hp_secondary

Maybe Groundhogs are smarter than your average human

Today's question is incorrect. 'Peace Pilgrim' was the first woman to thru-hike the AT.

I'll be in Queens and Nassau County this weekend HB. Maybe I'll hit some New Haven Apizza on the way down Lou.

Quote from Sarcasmtheelf: “I'm tentatively on board, with the caveat that between work and kids I have often have a very hard time keeping any weekends clear. Also, you may want to post this to You Got This! on FB, as a few members there are familiar with the trail and I think at least one member is very well versed with the whole thing. ” Assplug! Thanks for the tip, but I will let the core group discuss this here first before reaching out. Yes, it may take work to find agreeable weekends. That…

Hello Hikers, I am creating this thread mostly for my Connecticut and Long Island friends who join the annual MLK weekend hike, but all are welcome to join the potential hike and discuss. My proposal is that we do an annual weekend hike of the New England Trail (Now officially a National Scenic Trail) with the end goal of completing the entire trail. Here are my thoughts... - Some of these sections could be done on MLK weekend, but I admit I would prefer more prime season hiking. At a minimum ma…

Quote from LIhikers: “While I'm not familiar with any of that, I'd bet the southern end has a lot of road walking and few places to camp. ” The New England Trail part has few shelters and crosses private land, so in that section thru-hikers are encouraged to stay in town in parts.
