Thanks! I was wondering what happened to your very useful site.
Anyone know the condition of County Rd in southern VT? Still passable or washed out by hurricane last fall?
Anyone know what the condition of County Road is since last year's hurricane? Is it passable from Rt 8? Thanks.
I'm planning to do a section hike from Rt 9 south to Rt 2 in Mass next weekend. Any high water issues I need to be concerned about?
I carry pepper spray, but have not had to use it or anything else in 700 miles I've section hiked.
Just use your common sense, if something doesn't feel right, move on.
Thanks! The Howardsville Turnpike sounds like what I want.
Can you still access the AT from Humpback Gap? I don't have a good map showing the trail relocation around Humpback rocks.
Thanks.
Merry Christmas!
Link is working now.
The Ecopelagicon store is just off the main street in Rangeley, behind the Thai Orchid restaurant (I recommend the Hot and Sour soup). I told the lady there were folks looking for the poster and that...
A store in Rangeley, Maine called Ecopelagicon had the "End of the Journey" posters on hand for $5.95 when I was there last week.
Their e-mail address is [email protected] and their website is...
I also found a lot of legal issues with idigear using the eliotex name, so it might be the same stuff with a "new" name. I used the bag in PA and Mass in the fall, so I don't think humidity was the...

OK, I found an ad for the bag that I have. I paid maybe $40 for it.
Sorry, I tried to attach a photo, but that didn't work very well...

I have a hammock, maybe I'll give it a try as an underquilt. May as well experiment...
I don't know exactly what it looks like since it's inside the sleeping bag, but spending one night in it was enough to know it didn't breath.
idigear.com doesn't have the sleeping bag on their...
I have a sleeping bag made with this material. It sounded really good and I got it cheap, but doesn't breath, so it is not a comfortable bag.
Rather than toss it, in the winter I keep it behind...
I was there a week ago. Black flies were out on the warm sunny days, not on the cloudy rainy days. I had one nice day with bugs, and 3 rainy ones without :)
No problems with ticks, but I spray my...
If the book "A Walk in the Park" is still available it's a great resource. We pick a couple of trails every year, some new, some old favorites. I always do the shore path which parallels the drive,...
Thanks, looks like I'll need the gaiters.
What are the current conditions on Mt. Greylock? Still some snow or just mud?
Anything by Tony Hillerman. I just finished reading all 17 of his mysteries set in the southwest. Since he's gone now, there won't be anymore.
How about late April? Trying to find the sweet spot between the mud and the black flies...
