Most hikers want a small, very lightweight, and cheap GPS (that generally has fewer features) but the Garmin 62s I have will autosave tracks to the internal memory (I have 1.8GB free) and I have...
Maybe you haven’t been in the real world before but no matter where you go there are rules and regulations. The GMC and the AMC generally even charge to stay at shelters and it has been that way for...
Other people are paying $100 to stay at the hut and you turn it down because it's going to cost you a measly $12 dollars! What the heck is wrong with you? (That's a rhetorical question, Lone Wolf...
Not totally correct. Madison Hut is on 1 acre of land the AMC actually owns. Lonesome Lake is on land owned by the State of New Hampshire and the hut was originally a sporting camp the State bought...
If your GPS is using barometric pressure to calculate altitude, then it will change as the barometric pressure changes and there is no way around this. You will have to set the altitude on your GPS...
My 1936 ME guidebook mentions the “new” alternate trail they were clearing will also have white blazes, the 1938 guidebook says either trail can be used and both are white blazed, and my 1942...
Actually I believe it was the village of Dead River. Flagstaff is the lake formed when the village was flooded. There is an excellent book available with photos of the houses in the village, many...
For the life of me I can't understand all the to-do about whether Earl hiked all of the trail or not. When he hiked there were no "official rules" or committees to verify whether a hiker passed every...
A photo of someone leaning on a sign advertising a water filter is kind of strange, don't you think.
Two cell towers-cheap? Perhaps you should check the cost of constructing a cell tower. Construction cost, running cables and power, and maintenance in the mountains would likely almost double the...

It has been done.
In NH we always knew we were laid back. The story goes that a man 'from away' was driving along an almost deserted back roads of NH and saw an Old Timer sitting on his front porch whittling.
The...
This is typical of the rumors that start when some uninformed person takes a simple fact and it gets distorted over the years and after being repeated countless times. The truth is that scientists...
Here's a description northbound from my 1931 guidebook. The trail then was east of the line you've drawn.
"In Brandtsville at 57.64 m. turn left on macadam road, pass railroad station on right...
Chasegru is correct. The theory behind integral calculus teaches that as the number of samples approaches infinity, the value of the integrated data approaches some finite asymptotic value, not...
While everyone will be bending elbows and enjoying the ambience of the Doyle, I'll be outdoors all weekend wallowing in the deep new snow while instructing at an AMC Mountain Safety Workshop.

Here is what "My Trails" looks like on the 62s. I used CN for the background so the background wouldn't be cluttered at this zoom range.

I had downloaded and transferred the track file below of the entire A.T. plus all shelters from Guy Mott’s site to my GPS but with 314,000 points in a single file it was a little slow. Although I...

Absolutely true. That is partly because they couldn't have built one like this back then and no one would build an inefficient new one like they did in the 1800s.
This in no way...
The above quote gives completely wrong information and totally distorts the facts. First, The AMC can’t be driven off private land that they own. Second, They are using or rebuilding camps that have...
