It has been widely reported that the group of deaf people was at the bar playing cornhole, not the bowling center. It is reported that the bowling center was having a youth bowling league or practice. Just to keep the locations and people straight.

Just heard about this case this morning. We're cruise fans although only been on 5 so nowhere near as experienced as some people on this thread. I have gotten interested in the logistics of how cruises work, kind of fascinated by how the industry operates especially the bigger lines. A few...

Sachi wrote at 6:31pm yesterday: "I bet you haven't put your trash in your neighbors trash instead of your own either (with surgical gloves on at 4 am)" Just wanted to comment that I routinely put trash in my neighbors trash cans, sometimes late at night and sometimes with gloves on (not...

Depends what you would call "a considerable ways". I live in a small city in New England that has a decent sized airport, but the prices to fly out of here tend to be high and the flight times can be inconvenient, so when we want to fly somewhere we'll check out larger airports that are up to 4...

I gotta disagree. My side hustle, I work front desk at a local bowling center. One of our arcade managers is a high school senior. She was promoted to this position last winter, midway through her junior year. She closes Fri/Sat/Sun, puts in at least 28 hours those days, and closes at least 1...

In Vermont one has 60 days after moving to the state to register their vehicle per state statute. I can tell you this is not done all the time. I have neighbors who have lived here for well over a year, some much longer than that, whose cars still have plates from the state they used to live...

This route actually has 5 peaks >4000'. Lafayette 5260' Lincoln 5089' Little Haystack 4780' (not part of the 48 4000'ers list due to less than 200' higher than the col between it and Lincoln) Liberty 4459' Flume 4328' Summiting Lafayette first, after that point the terrain is going to feel...

We all have widely different backgrounds, which all contribute to widely different points of view on what is totally safe vs relatively safe vs dangerous. I suspect there are some things you do in your life that I'd look at and nope out of. I've noted on here that I hike alone most of the time...

Yes, I've read those. I can't understand how NHF&G would have known those things since they didn't pack her pack. Perhaps her Mom packed her pack so they found out those specifics from her Mom, but I haven't read anything that stated that her Mom had any hiking experience or had packed her...

We don't know if she turned back at some point. She may have. One key question I'm interested in is did her Mom stick around the Lafayette trailhead where she dropped Emily off for a period of time, or did she roll out? It is about 3.1 miles from the trailhead to the Greenleaf hut, then another...

This has come up in a few posts this morning. I can only speak to my experience as a 40+ year hiker who has hiked 88 of the highest 100 peaks in New England including a number that are bushwhacks (i.e. no established trails) and has hiked the northern 1/3 of Vermont's Long Trail which is...

You can see on google earth that there's a big rock field to the east between Lafayette and Haystack, right below the ridge. If she happened to take that it's about 1.75 miles (straight line) from Franconia Ridge Tr to Lincoln Brook Tr. It's a long bushwhack after that rock field ends.

Pretty sure Greenleaf Hut closed for the season on October 15. It will reopen May 5, 2023 - May 28, 2023 for "self service", and then will be back to full service on June 2, 2023.

If she stayed on the trail, yes. If she left the trail by maybe only 20'-30' in the wooded areas, maybe not. All the trails in that area are heavily wooded until you get above treeline. It's been a few years, but if I remember correctly Old Bridle Path is mostly wooded, Greenleaf Trail is open...

Not much for side trails once you start up Old Bridle Trail to Lafayette, but there are some herd paths. To access Lafayette, you can go up that trail or up Falling Waters to Little Haystack, but that would require backtracking on the ridge 1.6 miles over Lincoln to get to Lafayette. If she...

I personally don't have hiking poles, but if the trail conditions warrant I'll use XC ski poles. XC Ski racing was my core sport in high school/college, so that's the gear I'm most comfortable with, and it works good for me in the hiking I've done. In the conditions described in this incident, I...

So many good questions posed on this thread. I have extensive 3+ season hiking experience in this area, 88 of the New England Highest Hundred peaks and hope to finish up all 100 next summer. I don't winter hike in the big mountains, but I have hiked into late November and even a few...
