IMPOSSIBLE JUST TAKES LONGER
Nice. I just go caught up looking at all the "new posts" and now, something else to read. I cant wait to start looking at all the journals. They are always a great source of information as well as amusing. Thanks Troll and Jeff. BD
Just Jeff made me do it

I've been following Certain's TJ, and she made mention today of a strategy for hanging in the Whites...
Here's her TJ entry. Paragraph starts with "Oh, by the way, to all hangers out there..."
"Civilization is the limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities." - Mark Twain
“I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.” - John Burroughs
Hanging in the Whites is easy, I just did it today. See my trip report for the pics. I'll go read her journal entry though too.
Edit: Ahh, just read it and can somewhat agree with her about tree density but I don't think it's that much of a challenge in all but a very few areas.

Well, it's not always super easy but not always impossible either. I think it's that hanging thru-hikers are just not used to the terrain. One needs to be more selective here and take less than ideal spots when they find them, such as the side of a hill, and be willing to go a little farther off trail as well.
Thanks NCP, I've not been keeping up with her journal. I found this one particular interesting because her wandering off the AT onto the blue blazed Ethan Pond trail is precisely where I was about a year ago.
In that stretch of the Whites, Franconia Notch to Pinkham Notch, it was likewise my experience that trees were typically really dense. We always did find a place to hang, but only once was it obvious where to do that.
