Yes, I do understand the small VT towns not wanting 100,000 flatlanders showing up and then needing rescue services from their all volunteer emergency services. I had some thoughts of climbing Camel's Hump for the eclipse, but they have closed both access roads to 'locals only.' I will probably end up on the shores of Lake Champlain.

Warren Doyle did not approve of that question. Where was the "You ford it and take your chances like a man!" option?

LI Hikers, I felt it all the way here in Boston. About 10:25 AM I felt my chair moving. Went out into the hall, "Anyone else feel that?" "Yup, was that the wind? Nope, had to have been an earthquake.'" I knew for sure when I tried to log into our local Geology station to see the seismograph (BC's Weston Observatory) and their server was too overwhelmed with requests to reply.

Quote from odd man out: “weather is looking a bit better in Indiana than Ohio, so I may go that way. It's the same distance so I can decide at the last minute. If I miss this one due to clouds, there will be a total eclipse in my backyard in 2099. ” That is exactly why, although I have been looking forward to this and planning to see it for several years, I made no reservations anyplace. Flexibility is key.

Things are looking good for the Northeast. washingtonpost.com/weather/202…pse-forecast-maps-cities/

Norther NH is worried about the same thing. The eclipse crosses Coos County up near the Canada border. The roads are not built for traffic up there and this is 'Frost Heave' season. The roads and the motorists are likely to take a beating.

We are now 9 days out from the eclipse. The weather forecast for Burlington, VT has improved considerably. Good for me. We will see if it stays that way.

Well the Red Sox won their opening day game against the Mariners. I might as well enjoy this bright moment in the season. I am not expecting there to be many for the Red Sox this year. They did nothing in the off season to improve from last year's last-place finish. Owner John Henry has closed his wallet.

Man, It feels like it's been raining for 40 days and 40 nights. What a gray Spring it has been in New England.

Now this is a conscientious hunter who wants to make sure he obeys all the hunting laws... nypost.com/2024/03/27/lifestyl…call-from-curious-hunter/ Well, maybe except for the ones about alcohol and firearms.

Sorry to hear that LI Hiker. Last thing you want now is to get hurt.

I would make every day 'Expedition Stout Day.'

We are now thirteen days out from the Solar Eclipse of 2024. The (unreliable) 14-day forecast puts all of Northern New England under cloud cover. Buffalo , NY might see some sun. That would be about an 8-hgour drive for me. We will see what happens as the day gets closer.

I would have no problem buying a lightly used pack. Some people give hiking a try for one weekend and then decide it is not for them. Packs like shoes are not always a perfect match for an individual, so that may be another reason they are selling. I cannot advise you on warranties, but that is part of why used gear should be priced accordingly. If you get a great bargain, it does not matter as much. Put some weight in the pack and pay attention to the fit. That is an individual thing. The best …

Quote from hikerboy: “I wonder if Matt understands the concept of thread drift. ” You trust fund babies have ruined this thread for the rest of us.

Waits did a great parody of himself.

What a neat book OMO. I can attest that St. Patrick's Bridge in Cork still looks the same.
