Really, why? Do you mean it’s less of a bitch to climb on a motorcycle (obviously), but that you have to really pay attention to the road on the descent?

Lol!

Dick.

Yeah, and Keene also has Antioch University, which brings a lot of very smart and talented older students to the area who have done a ton to improve the community. One example among many is that the Monadnock Food Co-op was the brain child of two Antioch students; writing a concept paper for the Co-op was their final graduate project, and they were deeply involved in raising money to build the Co-op after they graduated.

Yep. It’s my favorite road ride in the area. It’s a bitch to climb, but the descent is epic and you can just look around at all the gorgeousness.

That’s the spirit!

Yeah, it’s hard to prevent people from participating after they’ve spent so much money and effort to travel. The organizers should have canceled sooner.

Oh good Lord. 🤦‍♀️

Yikes. Sounds like he’d rather be among a different group of “journalists.” Thank you!

Hm, interesting… I liked him. I’d love to hear the scoop if anyone has deets.

I was really surprised when I heard they didn’t reschedule. 🤦‍♀️

You saw people parked at WMNF trailheads today?? We make fun of those people, but I really didn’t expect anyone to go up today or tomorrow.

Microspikes probably won’t cut it at the moment — will probably need full crampons.

😂

We have outages here in the Monadnock Region, with white pine boughs all over the roads and power lines. This is a doozy!

I agree — avoid TD Bank. Several years ago they lost a class-action lawsuit because they were rearranging the chronology of customers’ checks to cause overdraft fees. I was a victim of that fraud and received a small settlement. I switched banks to Savings Bank of Walpole and really like their ethics and their personal touch. Whenever I need something, I can call and talk to an actual human being.

We get it at our local co-op.

Great post. Depending on your perspective, a downside to all those trails is they’re packed with ATVs and snowmobiles. Even the sidewalks are opened up for snowmobiles in the winter. For me, that’s a huge no fuckin way.

You’re reading into the absence of information. SAR reported only what her mom told them she was wearing when she started her hike. Just because SAR didn’t report other details doesn’t mean they weren’t provided. Do you think the only thing her mom told SAR is what she’s wearing? Of course not — her mom told SAR everything she knows. SAR isn’t going to report every single detail to the public. Thus, you have zero evidence that she doesn’t have a backpack and so your post is spreading misinformation that maligns the hiker. That is shitty.

You wrote that the hiker doesn’t have a backpack. There is absolutely no evidence that she doesn’t have a backpack — zero news agencies have reported that — so your original post contains made-up shit to make the hiker look irresponsible and to inflame the online dialogue.

Stop spreading lies that you have no evidence for. The situation is bad enough without trolls like you making shit up.

Why do you say she is without a backpack? The article describes what she was wearing when she started her hike, but doesn’t say anything about not having a pack.
