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.
There is...
That was painless, I logged on before my allotted time, and all my choices were available. I picked my sites, waited from my official log in time and clicked order. A bit more info and a credit card...
The state of Vermont and the GMC officially close the trails during mud season and April is mud season. Do the trail sand yourself a favor and go elsewhere. April in the Whites next door is generally...
BTW, Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument is technically open to foot traffic during the eclipse. The big issue at KWW is finding a viewpoint as its mostly forest....
I got skunked on the lottery last year but ended up doing 6 nights on the PCT just north of there as a backup plan.
Thanks, its a start. When I did a stretch of the PCT trail this past fall, many of the sites had ponds and lakes.
I will be getting access to the reservation site next week. Setting up lots of itinerary's to make sure I get a trip set up, anyone have any "gotta stay there" or better to hike past places?
I think the one in the Ebay listing is just a faded cover. The ones I have are green A bit less green than the green used on whiteblaze as a background. Its got a velour (fuzzy) finish. I have no...
A fairly rare 1938 Guide to the Appalachian Trail in Maine is up on Ebay. It is the 3rd edition which is actually the first edition that has the entire AT in Maine route. The prior second edition...
That explains a lot ;)
Same options as before, there is no public transportation to Bethel from Portland. The closest bus is in Gorham NH which is about 40 miles from Grafton Notch. The Portland Jetport, taking the...
My guess the flights listed for the big carriers are code share flights with Cape Air, a small commuter airline with 9 seat planes (the 9th seat is the co pilots seat).
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...
FYI. Baxter State Park is definitely closed and they have put out a warning on the website. April 8th is typically mud season in Maine. Do not plan on driving on any private gravel roads as they may...
But the hiker would not get to stay in comfy cabin with beds and private baths at the AMC camps ;)
Not sure these days but 20 years ago, there were several youth programs affiliated with various...
Not my cup of tea, but if someone has the cash and wants to knock off part of the 100 mile wilderness and stay in bed every night, here is your chance,

When I clicked on your link, it went nowhere.
Whatever info you get it has to be 2024 recent. There there two wet winters storms that washed out roads both public and private all over the state of Maine. Unless private roads were in use this...
I did a quick hike up Mt Jackson yesterday. Microspikes top to bottom but a bit breezy at the summit. I was going to extend the hike over to Mt Webster but clouds were coming in and I wasn't in the...
With climate change, (yes its already impacting the local climate), snow really is not an issue until November except 50 mile east in the whites. Cold nights and shorter days still are an issue from...
From personal experience, oral care is something not to ignore. I probably had borderline issues that could stay in control with normal daily toothcare practices, like brushing in the AM and PM and...
Years ago we were on spring section hike in the Smokies, it was early season so not a lot of people on the trail. One day we were hiking to one of the shelters and there were fresh tires tracks in...
The neoprene designs I have seen use glue to glue neoprene in cylinder to prevent compression of the neoprene. One end of the cylinder is sealed with round plug glued in. The other end if similar...
