Quote from LIhikers: “My wife and I do a lot of our hiking in NY's Harriman State Park, which has hundreds of miles of trails. There have been dozens of times that people have asked us if we had a map because their phone or GPS has gone dead, usually due to a dead battery. And almost always it's young people. Well almost everybody is younger than me so let me say people under 30. ” I know I've told this story here before.....while working in Harriman, I was in a lot getting my official looking g…

Quote from IMScotty: “Quote from CoachLou: “At the Pinkham Notch Bookstore, the clerk was telling me about new AMC maps. He handed me the one for the entire area. I opened it and he started to show me where Franconia Ridge was, where the Kancamangus Highway was, when he pointed out where Mtn. Washington was I finally said "Hold on, I'm good, I've hiked this entire map!" ” The AMC Guide maps that come with the White Mountains guide book are very good. I get a new edition every several years so I …

At the Pinkham Notch Bookstore, the clerk was telling me about new AMC maps. He handed me the one for the entire area.

$83.55.......I'm stopping on the way up to NH. I need a thermometer!

Quote from LIhikers: “I remember going to the 64 world's fair as a kid The thing that impressed me the most was the helicopters coming and going to the fair. ” When we went into the Country of Monaco pavilion, an attendant started talking to me. My Dads friend was with us, and of course he was scoochin' with my Dad. And then I told the girl that my Dad owned this country! ...............................for those that don't know.....my last name is.....Monaco!

I've also got my eye on a new winter Pad. Thermarest has 2 thick warm ones that I've got my eye on. My neo was pretty flat on Sunday morning. They have have a 4" thick that is 3.7 rated and a 3" rated to 7.9.....both can come 25" wide!

You know I got the Western Mountaineering!

I love my new Down Pants! In spite of the hole I put in them the first nite I had them on

I haven't been back to Harriman since before the Rona. Even my last work trip was at Hook Mtn. St.P................I've just been scaird of the crowds!

Quote from LIhikers: “Since we no longer have a dog, and don't plan on having another any time soon, we're willing to give away a couple of dog packs for free. They are the saddle bag design size for a large dog. If anyone here can use them you can have them for free. We have 2 available. ” I'm sorry to hear this, Paul!

Quote from BillyGr: “That is actually good advice for everyone, given how often they change dramatically even over just a couple days! Not that bad weather necessarily means a trip can't happen, just easier when it isn't an issue. ” We have postponed this walk a few times, mainly 'cause of freezing rain or a polar vortex. We started this 'cause we old guyz had to get out of the house and couldn't wait for spring!

Quote from IMScotty: “I know it is still a long way off, but so far the weather the weekend of the 20th is looking pretty good. ” ....but remember, we are going in Connecticut this time. We Nutmegger's never listen to a weather report more than 2 hours in advance.

We could still let the girl with no gear stay

If we decide by this weekend ....which weekend....I'll send this in. Don't want to send anyone out in the cold....like a few years ago!appalachiantrailcafe.net/index…a501018e89de424e862211636

well I'm good for Bigelow Hollow and both later weekends. Even if it snows....I'll do this as a snowshoe.

3 2milers in March........the 5 miler to tear my meniscus.....the 5 miler after I healed.....and 2 2 milers in town since. But.....I did 2 miles yesterday and plan to get out this weekend and snow shoe as often as I can get out!

Why......I can't understand this. These 2 kids...they had cell phones....you don't even have to ask it the weather! When you get out of the car and look up at Franconia Ridge....it still scares the crap out of me!!! Are all of these mental health issues in our children from all those drugs and alcohol we consumed when we were youngsters?!
