Yup, too hot, too buggy, and WAY too many flatlanders up here driving up prices, tempers and speeds.
Stay away from the coast, go inland as others suggested.

Having been on a couple VB motorcycling forums I've come to the conclusion that if a site has special sections for donating members then they don't get a dime from me. They should not require money....
Oh get over yourself, I live in a yurt in Maine..read NO AC. Yes it's hot, I wear light clothes, move slow and drink a lot. God damn blanket statements. If you want one of those I could say that...
Sounds like Maine schools, Nice historic schools shut down because the boards refuse to put a dime into them. They get "deadly" mold and a new multi-million tax payer funded school gets built. Damn...
It sounds like he fell asleep, he didn't seem like the type to do anything stupid on the bike. Such a shame.
National forest then....anything to get the land out of the logging companies hands...tired of seeing the bumper sticker "if you don't like logging, try using plastic toilet paper"
I fought for years for motorized access with my motorcycle, then after taking up hiking again I enjoy NOT hearing engines. Funny how views can change.
Heck I hate ORV/ATVs but the fat hillbillies...
funniest thing about Australia vs the US is that down under has developed a HUGE stick up their butts on laws. Everything is highly regulated, and the fines/penalties are steep. It amazes me that a...
As a maine resident as well I support creating a national park, or at least a national forestland in all of northern maine from Moosehead north. The logging companies are not managing the land...
Her mat was the comfort foam version
I can attest to the ruggedness of Exped mats. During a recent trip one of our dogs...a 20 lb cairn managed to nest via circling and scratching on my wife's mat. It held up fine without any issues....
Yeah, thank you guys for the help, probably should have said that earlier. I ended up getting the Downmat...VERY NICE mat. super comfortable. The size is a bit big, but still packable.
For some reason people love facebook and must include it in EVERY aspect of their lives. The site invades privacy, works with the federal government in collecting data. Gives nothing back to the...
Glad you are doing some test hikes. On the dogs pads...I found it gets worse when wet. Not sure why. If enroute you have questions...feel free to ask. For food and I'm sure you know this...you get...
I agree...kind of like a fancy city folk talking down on being dirty and knowing the land sort of attitude
Damn....and I thought those things were bored hikers making wind chimes.....yes I'm being serious....
did I mention I pick up every piece of crap I find? That's why I'm Raven...I scavenge. Then again that 5' piece of line I found at a shelter did come in handy a ways down the trail. I count ounces...
I got a good feel for the difference over the weekend. I have a pair of merrell trail runners that would not keep a good grip sideways and would crush my toes if toe first. I used them for the first...
I like the vibram 5 fingers KSO, not the leather trek....once I got used to them. They allow me to hike safer as I can feel the surface, plus I can do water crossings with better grip and not have to...
hikerboy; it's funny you should mention the Presidentials. Having lived in New England my whole life I have never been up Mt Washington as I have a policy to climb up furst...then I can drive. About...
two tabs per shoe....4 per set :)
Actually what works good is dropping them overnight upside down in a small bucket of water with two denture cleaning tabs in the toe and two under the heel. Then about an hour before pulling them,...
Those guys do have a lot to learn....best of luck to them. I could not do it...but that's me. 2 30+ lb dogs and a 20lb dog. in a small tent.....wow. Hope they take some advice..they need it. .
Saw Veggie Mama, Grim, heading at a good pace NOBO on Bemis Mountain, ME two days ago, and Birches heading SOBO seeming a low on moral and social company.
Hey,
I'm all for dogs on the trail...unlike some. I'm also for responsible dog owners on the trail as well who watch out for their dogs and their well being, including proper diet and 100% leash...
