This thread was nixed while I was writing my response - too bad, too. This is what I was wrote, because it deserves repeating: hey frozenwater, pube-in-my-taco here.. I'm not sure if you know this, but the guy who comes on TGR as Greg is an imposter. A disgruntled ex-member of Alpinezone. I...

For years, the "Madman of Jerimoth Hill" has been terrorizing people trying to cross his property to visit the highest point in Rhode Island. Despite its modest elevation at 812', it was jokingly known as the most dangerous highpoint in the country, even more dangerous than Mount McKinley...

A lot of nutrition experts say that to replace glycogen stores, you oughta eat within 15 minutes of finishing exercise because it speeds up recovery. I've also read that you can really burn off a lot of fat by waiting before eating. The consensus seems to be that if you're trying to lose...

Disclaimer: This trip had only a little bit of hiking. It was mostly driving. However, it was to get state highpoints which is definitely a hiking-related topic. It just so happened that this trip was to midwestern states, all of which had hikes less than a mile long. When I get around to doing...

And before they left, they gave me an itinerary of the hotels they would be at. Just for grins, I looked up what it would cost me to call them - it turns out that with my internet phone it's a mere 4¢ a minute. Hell, at that price I can talk to them all day.

I haven't been to Stowe in so long - I can't remember what the terrain is like. But as a member of the highpointers club, one of my goals is to somehow get to the top of Mt.
