I was thinking about trying to train him to carry my pack

The thing was I was on my way down to the spring at Tripoli Campsite when I saw this deer browsing on the trail ahead of me. I stopped so as not to spook the deer so I could get a picture. The deer looked up and saw me. Instead of running away the deer walked toward me. It actually walked right up to me and sniffed my legs and hand. It then let me pet it! After getting my water I hiked about 3/10 of a mile back on the trail to a campsite. A few minutes later the deer arrived and walked over to m…

Another book that I found interesting was The Last Season by Eric Blehm. It is the story of the disappearance of backcountry ranger Randy Morgenson, who disappeared in the California Sierra Nevada mountains

Quote from Astro: “Also just before that finished The Last Stand: Custer, Sitting Bull, and the Battle of the Little Bighorn by Nathaniel Philbrink. I found it interesting and I give him credit for trying to cover it from multiple perspectives. Please note that 1/3 of the book is notes/bibliography/index (I just read the first 2/3 of the actual book, but nice to know the other stuff is there in case you disagree or want to learn more about it). Sometimes I believe he was a little more graphic th…

My sister lives in North Canaan, CT (right in town) and constantly has black bears causing problems. The bear(s) have been seen crossing the play ground at the grade school and the CT DEP doesn't do a thing about it. My ex lives in Winsted and a very large black bear walked right through the condo complex a few years ago. They exist and DEP acknowledges their existence, unlike mountain lions

After the first attack, I think I would have had pistol in hand. ” He didn't say what kind he was carrying and I wonder if he intentionally didn't bother. Most handgun calibers would have just pissed it off. Just speculating. ” From Todd's post I slowly reached under my chest to grab at the pistol I was unable to get to earlier. I felt I needed something to save my life. The pistol wasn't there. I gr…

My fiancee lives about 5 miles from one of the trail crossing in MA. She is not a backpacker or hiker but is willing to try so I have bought the maps and we will be starting out doing some day hikes on it to see how it goes. The maps IMHO are high quality with good detail Right HERE is link to their web

Thanks for the pictures. I use to live north of Crossville and at that time I didn't know this trail existed
