    I use them with a merrell moab ventilator shoe and they work fine. No gaps, nothing gets in the shoe, and, best of all, using permethrin on them and tucking your trouser legs in them makes a good...

    Since this has drifted into answers about Baxter, let me ask a question. If you reserve a camping spot or a shelter spot in Baxter to climb Katahdin (not coming in as a thru), does that reservation...

    Without getting into the philosophical aspects of hunting, the vast majority of us have to live with the practical aspects. No matter how the population of this country grows, whether by birth or...

    Whatever you think of Bissell or his motives, he doesn't set the rules for Baxter, but is in charge of enforcing them. If the requirement is no alcohol on the mountain, why would you deliberately...

    I was afraid that Redford and Nolte were too old to play Bryson and Katz but I may be proved wrong. It does look like it will be pretty good if the trailer is any indication.
