Capt: your story reminds me of stories from the book "Not without peril". As there are many books about people who made it, a book about stories like yours would be very interesting. Good luck on...

So what do you think ???

Agree with all the above, some leave their couch and join. Just don't get hurt.

I did many hikes in the Whites as late as end of October. The views are awesome, the foliage incredible at lower elevations, and even though weather can change drastically locally, you can check the...

"Hurry up slowly"

Another good book about hiking failures is "Not without peril". Lots to learn.

There is an old tradition in the Brasilian martial art of Capoeira where at your first belt, you earn a nickname. My Capoeira nickname has been Colonel for years, (being an Air Force officer) given...

Thanks everyone for your insight. As I gather, the experience will vary from person to person. One of my biggest worry was: is there a bear on the trail around the next bend ?

In any case,...

As a wannabe thru-hiker who is not ready to hit the trail just yet, I always wondered what it would feel like to hike solo, but I mean REALLY solo, whether it be in the 100-mile wilderness, etc. I...

Many thanks to all !

I am planning a dayhike with my 2 sons (9 & 14) hopefully by end of May. Are the trails liley to be clear of ice and snow by then typically ?

Thanks !

I often drive 2.5 hrs (one way) to the White Mountains for a 5 to 6 hr day-hike (Mts Washington, Adams, Madison, etc). About a 1:1 drive-hike ratio, but it's well worth it.

Well let's say that a whole lot of people in the area changed their hiking habits ...

South Stukeley is about 30 mi north of the LT's Canadian border terminus. While this individual cat would unlikely...

The Madison Inn in Gorham is not too far, it was around 75$ last time I was there, as I recall. The hot tub after the hike was great.

It would be interesting to calculate how many miles one really has to walk in order to finish the "100"...

It could have been that you were tired after the 4.5 hrs drive. One option could have been to sleep/camp in the area then hike the next day when you are rested.

This happened on a Monday night. There were around 5 cars there, mine was intact. Random event, or was there someone watching us when we arrived ? Who knows...

We still had an awesome hike...

On Jun 6-7th, some friends and I parked at Appalachia for a 2-day hike in the Whites. Upon return, someone had broken into my friend's car by slightly prying open the passenger window, pressing the...

Papa D, you posted as I was typing... your idea is even better.

You could make it to Sutton, Quebec, and take the bus to Montreal (90 mins). From there you can fly.

I would suggest that any resume would have to be adapted to whatever job you apply for. One of the important things would be not to merely list a bunch of jobs or achievements, but to say something...

Thanks to all for your great input, I can't wait for the snow to melt !

Blissfull: wow, 10 hours ? That makes a long day ! I guess one would have to remain overnight in Millinocket !
