    picked up a pair of Merrill Radius Waterproof shoes. Paid around $55, about half off.

    I recently found a pair of those at the local Salvation Army store. Brandy new condition.
    $4.49
    :D


    Good Lord...What a deal, man!

    Hey Jamie, glad you got up to Greylock & tested out the pack. Sounds like it worked fine for ya! I still haven't gotten away yet, and I'm really chompin at the bit.

    I use the Aquamira Drops, as they're light & work faster than the tablets. Boiling water is good for when you're sitting in camp, but when hiking & doing a quick refill & go, a pump or chemical treatment is more practical. My sweet woman picked up a Steripen Adventurer this weekend, so I'll be testing it out in the coming weeks.

    To minimize the chlorine taste, just add some flavored drink mix to it, such as Gatorade or Propel.

    Btw, Fish mentioned the REI dividends. Yesterday, after going for a two hour hike in Blue Hills, stopped by the local REI. Using the $34 earned dividends, plus a 20% off coupon, picked up a pair of Merrill Radius Waterproof shoes. Paid around $55, about half off. It does pay to be an REI member if you like to buy gear.

    As far as Greylock goes - maybe I'll see you up there! I ended up goin on to the DCR website last night and printed out a map and highlighted some loops I'd like to do. One of them was in my Top 50 Hikes of New England book I have.

    Cool, be great to see a fellow HNE-er out & about! The pack you got looks solid, should be able to withstand some good use. Look forward to hearing your field reviews on it.

    Pilgrim, we're not doing the Greenway again this year but are looking to do something of similar length this summer. Not sure yet, maybe a section of the Long Trail or the 100 Mile Wilderness in Maine.


    Nice, sounds like good times wherever you go, Fish! Both of those sections you mentioned are also in my horizon.

    This is crazy, lol, but mesmerizing. What does it mean if you can see her spinning in both directions? When I first looked at it, it appeared ccw. By staring at the foot she's turning on, it switched to cw. What does this mean, & should I be worried? :wacko:
