I think it all comes down to numbers. They are getting to bigger than some places can asorb. Look at spring at the start. Numbers overweal shelter space & camping around them. But it comes down to a small percentage of bad people. With largerer numbers of people you get an higher amount of mor bad people. When there were only a few someone might overlook a bad hiker as someone uncommon. When hit with it more and more the tollerance goes down. hen we add the hikers that fell they are entitled bec…

Quote from JimBlue: “Quote from max.patch: “everybody at whiteblaze is an expert -- just ask em! ” They certainly seem to argue a great deal. I prefer this, the happy forum. ” We have no reason to argue. We all know we are doing it wrong & admit it. They say admitting it...wait I goofed up again... wrong forum...

Give us links & an instructon post/vidio on how you do this.

Was just thinking State park wasn't free but very cheap $5 I think. Other places in VT. Goddard Shelter/Glastonberry MT PlAN A STAY HERE IF YOU CAN. I was on an epic slackpack & wished I had brought my pack. I would have stayed. Stratton Pond. Great sunset over the pond! But it's a busy & charged site. Clarendon Gorge. Camping no longer allowed there but plan time for a swim & get a water massage under one of the small waterfalls.

Your fee campsite is a very plasible route, Many have great sunrise/sunset great pic potential. I'll PM ypu a link to legal stealh sites. They are few and far between in the Whites unless yo speend some time searchinhg

When frieds sy they are to old to hike I always think of a conversation I had with Brice. He's a double Triple Crowner. Hiked all three twice, I met him & hiked with him some on the PCT. Last time I saw him at an ALDHA-West meeting in OR I asked what he had hiked that summer. He told me what he did, & shrugge & said it really beat him up! He couldn't do any more long distanec hikes at his age. Nothing over 500 miles! I hope I can hike like him! He was 84 at the time!

When I stoped their bailing from the Long Trail I had their Irish Stew...Devine! With a room you got a free breakfast in their rock dining room. Something you must see!

I'm sure you heard of Jeff's place by now in Manchester. I never got to stay there but had planned to a few times & like his attitude from emails we exchged. When you get to RT 4 in VT I recomend the Inn at the Long Trail & their Pub. They do offer free camping on the rass lot across the road from them but it can be a bit noisy with trucks crawling up the mountain. Another option close by is the State Park. Discounted thru hiker spots, coin showers & just 1/2 mile to great store/deli/liquor stor…

I hope BSP fines Kyle for sneaking his dog ino the park. Proof should be in his book. Other websites have posted celebration pics & said why him. I think BSP just said enough is enough. He broke the rules & got fined. Kinda lke speeding. A lot of us do it but only a few get caught. To condone breaking the rules & possibly risking other hiker chance to end their hike at Katahdin is just very selfish as far as I' concerned. I think the ATC & ALDHA should step up & teach LNT & hiker abassador train…

Quote from Grinder: “youtube.com/watch?v=styiDn7YKhE ” It's an awesome hike & terrain is easier than AT allowing for higher milage depending on snow year. You do have lond section without water, but that has chsned a lot due to trail angels.

Quote from hikerboy: “youtube.com/watch?v=i42cfuc4jW4 ” Does he get another run or extra points for it?

I consider chances of getting bit by a snke about nil while hiking. I have walked by several rattlesnakes tht I never whould have known agout if not for other hikers. The few times I was rattled at was because I stopped in what they considered their danger zone. A step or two aside averted all danger even though I was initially in striking distance. I've even had two encounters with the "Agressive" & highly tocix Green Mojave Diamondback. Just leaving it alone prevnted a bite. Unless you mess wi…

I thnk you have your bases covered!

I know the feeling. Just everyday life on Fort Bastion means cuts & abrasions on the arms & normally some poison ivy someplace. Life was easier when I was pretty much immune to it & healed quicker.

When the former govener donated the land it was more for a wilderness preserve. Humans were to come 2nd. Their land, their rules. Play by them or stay home. To me it's just that simple. To put Scott's fine in perspective: When I was doing property management a resteraunt had a used grease barrel outside. It is considered hazardous waste (unknown to us & many others from what I have seen). As property owner we were fined & had to build a shelter & containment system for it. We had a Enviromental …

Without dogs on the property wildlife has climbed. Barley a day goes by that I don't see a deer within 50 feet of me, Even when I don't it's nawings are evident. I have a bear I have seen once & smelled a few time on the property. Mostly peacefull with too many songbirds chirping all the time.

Quote from hikerboy: “Quote from Mountain-Mike: “WTF happened? did the new grolla scare thr polar bear awy. I'm lost been spending my time at Fort Bastion ofline, get me up to date! ” you still at fort bastian? ” Yes. still working on the cabins. I had wanted to finish Nigels cabin with homegrown stock. Got some lumber cut & chainsaw siezed up. Need a bigger saw. Off to prepping for Sturgis now. When I retun it will be with materials for roof on Nigels cabin. He said make it my own. but it will …

WTF happened? did the new grolla scare thr polar bear awy. I'm lost been spending my time at Fort Bastion ofline, get me up to date!

Shush your mouth woman! I've spent decades building my hiker & biker facades

To me Yoging is to get help without diretling asking for it. It can be food at a barbeque, thus the name. I have mostly ben BOO BOO, My hiker companions (usually female) have alway surpassed my skills, On my attemped thru of the PCT when most were pushing ahead a few days I decided since my back was hurting I was going to bail where I was at a FS car campground & look for a ride. Cindy, a social butterfly I had been hiking with for a few hundred miles came back to me within two hourss & had me a…
