Food and Alcohol.

This is one of the reasons I quit hiking in the Whites, most places have no fires. Then you look at most of the people, and that's most likely a good thing. I'm not dressed without my knife, I'm not going to the woods without a campfire. I REALLY enjoy sitting and watching the flames, especially...

It's the same thing in other wilderness areas. No permits are needed when hiking in the White Mtns of NH, but if you arrive late to the trailhead you'll find the parking lot full with no on-road parking, and if there is you might have to walk a 1/2 mile to the trailhead.

I going with Maine, BWCA is too crowded, and if you need a large canoe area, Algonquin PP is closer. Maine has a large variety of streams in a Northern forest setting which eliminates paddling in the Southern States

Favorite: The middle site on North Grace, Algonquin PP Worst: the solo on Frank's Lake also in Algonquin PP. I was hoping for a nice spot, the only site on the lake. I found a burnt-out fire pit where the fire went down into the roots of 2 pine trees. I didn't bother taking pictures

My first 'trip' was on the Allagash in 2007 at age 53 and I figured out what was missing in my life

I have a few multiflora roses that also get pruned when I pull the Knotweed One of the benefits of pulling all this knotweed is there's and host of plants that have lived there that now have popped up. I have about 30 Helleborine Orchids growing on the bank of the Brook...

I've been battling the Knotweed for 5 years and I think I've turned the corner after nuking it with Roundup last fall. I can't bad-mouth Box Adler, I'll be burning it for at least the next two years in my wood stove Actually, my favorite tree and the tree I dislike the most are the same tree...

My favorite Species of tree would be Birch because of all the things you can do with them, bark and most of all harvest Chaga. My Favorite Tree is the massive Butternut (Juglans cinerea) Tree in my front yard the only problem is something is falling out of it 42 weeks a year especially the...

I've tried it twice (Clockwise, starting at Umbazookus Stream ). On the first try, I got turned back at Caucomgomoc Stream due to high winds. On the second try, I ran out of water. Ray at Loon Lodge recommended not going forward as Allagash Stream was mostly a drag. My choice for clockwise is...

You can make a lot of things with Quartersawn White Oak Wine Barrels

I've said it before, "I like Kelley Kettles." In addition to the above comments, they are fast, and if you have kids on the trip you don't have to worry about fueling it.
