The huts do not...

Looks like chinese lookalike gear hiding behind a US address. The folding utensils are heavy, most folks live with lexan spoons for backpacking. The pots are probably okay, many folks just bite the...

The major USFS lots tend to be plowed within 24 hours of major snow storm. The state lots like Lafayette place, Appalachia and 19 mile brook are also plowed within 24 hours of storm. The national...

Eight Days out and the forecast actually looks clear in Northern NH on the 8th. Of course we are in for three day Northeaster snow/rain event wednesday, thursday, friday. The one we had last week...

BTW, Not sure of VT snow totals but NH and ME just got a big snow dump 12 plus inches.

I have used glucosamine/chronditin/MSM on occasion over the years and I feel it does work but its a long term thing. After my broken ankle I took it religiously for at least a year.

Pretty simple, there is no train or bus service in Maine with the exception of the I 95 Corridor and even then the train service only runs from the NH border to Brunswick along the coast. your...
