By night\, he records and analyzes UFO sighti ng reports\, abduction experiences\, hauntings and anything else that quali fies as strange/unknown/weird. Chris Augustin has been an Alien/UFO/Paranor mal Investigator for 13+ years now. Chris' site\, www.aliensthetruth.com\, is online for one main reason\, the truth. In our community\, people who ha ve had UFO sightings\, abduction experiences\, paranormal encounters\, etc\ ; need a place to go. They need a place to share what they have experienced without the fear of ridicule. This is truly an alternate reality for many people. The mainstream media rarely gives our community positive attention\ , unless it's some major event like the Roswell UFO crash anniversary\, or when there's a mass sighting\, where hundreds or thousands of people witnes s the event\, like the Phoenix Lights in 1997. The site focuses on some ver y basic premises\, there is life on this planet\, which is one out of billi ons. Therefore\, it is mathematically impossible for life not to exist on a nother. With the vast amount of evidence collected over the years\, going b ack to ancient times\, up to today\, from reports gathered by MUFON and oth er organizations\; there is no way that we can be alone in the universe.

We will hike the Winslow Trail to the summit which has excellent 360-degree with views of Mount Monadnock\, the Boston skyline\, the White Mountains\, Lake Winnipesaukee and the mountains of NH Vermont and Maine. T here is a fire tower at the top which is one of only sixteen active fire lo okout towers in Mount Kearsarge is the name of a 2\,937-foot (895 m) mounta in located in Wilmot\, New Hampshire\, and Warner\, New Hampshire\, the Uni ted States. Two state parks are located on the mountain: Winslow State Park and Rollins State Park. On a very clear day\, skyscrapers in the city of B oston\, Massachusetts 80 miles (130 km) away are visible from the fire towe r on the summit. The summit has remained bare since a 1796 forest fire.\n\n The name of the mountain evolved from a 1652 rendering of the indigenous na me for the mountain\, Carasarga\, which it is surmised means "notch-pointed -mountain of pines."\n\nKearsarge is a monadnock\, and although of only mod erate elevation\, its isolation gives it 2\,100 ft (640 m) of relative heig ht above the low ground separating it from the higher mountains farther nor th. That makes Kearsarge one of twelve mountains in New Hampshire with a pr ominence over 2\,000 ft (610 m).\n\nMount Kearsarge stands within the water shed of the Merrimack River\, which drains into the Gulf of Maine. The west ern slopes of the mountain drain into Cascade Brook\, which flows north to the Blackwater River\, a stream which flows around the northern and eastern base of Kearsarge\, eventually draining into the Contoocook River\, a trib utary of the Merrimack. The northern and eastern slopes of the mountain dra in more directly into the Blackwater River. The southern face of Mount Kear sarge drains into Meadow Brook\, a tributary of the Warner River\, which fl ows southeast to the Contoocook River.\n\nKearsarge is a popular hiking des tination. The summit is the high point along the 75-mile (120 km) Sunapee-R agged-Kearsarge Greenway hiking trail which links 10 towns and encircles th e Kearsarge-Lake Sunapee region of western New Hampshire. The quickest rout e to the top is from the Rollins State Park picnic area on the mountain's s outh ridge\, accessible via Kearsarge Mountain Road from the town of Warner . Access on the mountain's western side is from the picnic area of Winslow State Park via the Winslow Trail (1.1 mi) or the Barlow Trail (1.6 mi.)\, b uilt in 1997 by Trailwrights\, a volunteer trail group\, for the SRK Greenw ay. The full Greenway section hike on Mt. Kearsarge covers 5.8 miles (9.3 k m) from Winslow picnic area via the Barlow Trail to the summit and via the Rollins and Lincoln trails southwesterly to Kearsarge Valley Road in North Sutton.\n\nThe Winslow Trail and the state park on the Wilmot side are name d after Captain John Winslow\, the commander of the USS Kearsarge\, which i n June 1864 sank the CSS Alabama in the English Channel in a famous Civil W ar sea battle. We will then return to the parking lot via the Barlow Trail. \n\nTown: Warner \nCounty: Merrimack \nMountain or Hill: Mount Kearsarge \ nHeight above sea level: 2937 FT \nTower Structure Height: 27' \nLatitude: 43-23-06 \nLongitude: 71-51-36 \nFirst date of operation: 1913 \nOperating Agency: NH Forestry Service \nType: Steel Tower\n\n\nDIRECTIONS: From I-93 Take I-89 North to Exit 10.

Many throughout the ages have achieved this through the Shamanic Journey.

Through this practice you will discover and communicate with both animal and spirit guides. In a ddition to these connections\, you will be able to ask questions about your self and your purpose\, helping you to find guidance on your path. The too ls given to you during this workshop will enable you to continue this techn ique on your own and will assist you on your spiritual growth.

As dus k approaches a small Dublin suburb in the summer of 1984\, mothers begin to call their children home. But on this warm evening\, three children do not return from the dark and silent woods. When the police arrive\, they find only one of the children gripping a tree trunk in terror\, wearing blood-fi lled sneakers\, and unable to recall a single detail of the previous hours. Twenty years later\, the found boy\, Rob Ryan\, is a detective on the Dubl in Murder Squad and keeps his past a secret. But when a twelve-year-old gir l is found murdered in the same woods\, he and Detective Cassie Maddox-his partner and closest friend-find themselves investigating a case chillingly similar to the previous unsolved mystery. Now\, with only snippets of long- buried memories to guide him\, Ryan has the chance to uncover both the myst ery of the case before him and that of his own shadowy past. Richly atmosph eric\, stunning in its complexity\, and utterly convincing and surprising t o the end\, In the Woods is sure to enthrall fans of Mystic River and The L ovely Bones.\n\nSouth Portland\, ME 04106 - USA\n\nWednesday\, November 18 at 7:00 PM\n\nPhoto: http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/0/8/ev ent_8400264.jpeg\n\nAttending: 13\n\nDetails: http://www.meetup.com/Portlan d-Out-and-About-Group/calendar/10289132/ LAST-MODIFIED:20091029T143118Z UID:event_10289132@meetup.com CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20090428T224856Z DTSTAMP:20091112T071713Z DTSTART:20091119T000000Z DTEND:20091119T020000Z GEO:43.66;-70.26 LOCATION:Borders - 430 Gorham Road - South Portland\, ME 04106 - USA URL:http://www.meetup.com/Portland-Out-and-About-Group/calendar/10289132/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Doin' Holidays Raw-Style DESCRIPTION:Raw Maine: The Way Food Should Be!\n\nNovember's Raw Maine potl uck is tackling that age-old issue: how to thrive (not just survive!) durin g the holidays.

So why have n't you heard of him and his new band? Well my friends I'd have to say you are looking for new music in all the wrong places.

On warm days\, the summit ledges of Mount Cube are excellent lunch spot s. \nThe hike up Cube is pretty steep and rocky\, gaining 2\,000 feet of el evation over 3 miles\, with some challenging scrambles over rocks and roots . There is a north summit with very fine views and ledges\nIf you are look ing for a little more mileage and vertical without overdoing it\, Mount Cub e is the perfect choice. With under 3000 feet of elevation\, Mount Cube may have less cachet than its larger neighbors\, Smarts and Moosilauke\, but i t is still a terrific hike\, especially with a dog. It offers solitude\, ab undant water (over a dozen stream crossings)\, and a great view from the to p. \n\nledges on its north and south peaks\, commands views both back down the valley towards Hanover and ahead to Mount Moosilauke and the White Moun tains beyond. This is the northern end of the long ridge stretching north f rom South Moose Mountain that forms the eastern edge of the Connecticut Riv er valley. The pinkish-gray summit rocks are quartzite\, the same hard ridg e-forming rock that runs in a band from Lebanon\, over Moose\, up Lambert R idge\, and on to Cube. On warm days\, the summit ledges of Mount Cube are e xcellent lunch spots. Be sure to sample the wild blueberries in late summer .\n\nHow To Get There: \nTake Route 10 north out of Hanover\, through Lyme\ , and into Orford. Just before reaching the green in Orford\, turn right on to Route 25A East. Pass through Orfordville in 2.5 miles and continue up th e northern shoulder of Mount Cube\, whose summit ledges are visible above t he trees. After 8.3 miles\, at the height-of-land\, pass Mount Cube Farm an d former governor Mel Thompson’s famous pancake house. Continue on Route 25 A and descend steeply to Upper Baker Pond. Just before crossing a steel hig hway bridge\, 10.2 miles from Orford\, the AT south leaves from the right h and side of the road. Park in the parking lot across the bridge.\n\nTrip De scription\nAfter leaving the highway (0.0 miles)\, the trail crosses a swam py area\, passes through an abandoned homestead\, and begins rising paralle l to a brook.\n\nAt 0.4 miles\, the trail perpendicularly crosses a gravel road and continues uphill through hardwood forest.\n\nAt 1.6 miles\, after cresting a small rise\, the trail winds down to cross Brackett Brook. The t rail rises straight on the far side of the brook and then begins a switchba cked ascent of the mountain’s shoulder.\n\nAt 2.8 miles\, the trail crests the shoulder and climbs gently towards the summit ridge. This section of tr ail\, completed in the fall of 1987\, was cut extra wide to accommodate bac kcountry skiing.\n\nAt 3.1 miles\, arrive at a T-junction between the north and south summits. To the right\, the blue-blazed side trail leads in 0.2 miles to the north summit\, with its fine view of Moosilauke. To the left\, the AT continues south.\n\nAt 3.3 miles\, reach the south summit of Mount Cube. Smarts and Ascutney dominate a view that covers much of the Upper Val ley of the Connecticut.\n\nThose who have arranged transportation and wish a longer hike might consider continuing on to Smarts. The AT descends over quartzite ledges off the south side of Cube\, passes six-sided Hexacuba She lter in the valley near Eastman Ledges\, and rises along the gentle norther n ridge of Smarts to its summit\, 7 miles away.\n\nFollow the same trail yo u came up to return to your car.\n\n \n\n\n\nMount Cube \nOrford\, NH \n6.6 miles (~ 4.5 hours) \n~2000' elevation gain\; ~600'/mile \nMeet at the tra ilhead parking lot at 10:00 am\n\nHow To Get There: \n93N to exit 26-3A/25\ ; 3A to 25 to 25A. \nJust after crossing a steel highway bridge\, 10.2 mile s before Orford\, the AT south leaves from the left hand side of the road. Park in the parking lot across the bridge. The lot is very small so you wil l most likely have to park on the side of the road. \n\nAs a condition of a ttending this meetup you agree to release\, hold harmless\, and indemnify t he organizer(s) and all members of this group from any and all claims for p roperty damage\, injury\, and/or death\, including those caused by negligen ce and/or other reasons.

I want to run a whoopie pie contest with Judi being the judge . I will be offering a Prize to the person who brings Judi the b est tasting whoopie pie ..\n\n From the Park headquarters\, take the Parker Trail to the Cliff Walk Trail\, about 1 mile. Follow Cliff Walk up to Bald Rock\, maybe another mile. From Bald rock\, take the Smith Connecti ng Trail across the White Cross and then the White Dot Trails to the Red Sp ot Trail\, about three-quarters a mile. Turn left and go about two hundred yards up to the Pumpelly Trail\, turning left again to the summit\, about 7 70 yards. The typical descent would be down the White Dot to the White Cros s\, rejoining the White Dot and down to Park Headquarters—or you could reve rse your original route\, but it's quite long. Total distance is about 3 1/ 2 miles\, with an average 11% grade\, though there are a few steeper sectio ns. Starting at the Old Toll Road parking area would reduce the length by a bout half a mile\, without significantly increasing the difficulty. Just re member to take one of the routes down that returns to that area!\n\nIt is a pprovimately 4.3 miles round trip with lots of rock scramblings 5 to 6 hour hike with Judi eating all the whoopies included...\n\n\nAbout Mount Monadn ock\n\n\nMonadnock at an elevation of 3165 feet is one of the outstanding p eaks of the northeast. It is an isolated mountain which offers far reachin g views from the Boston skyline to Mt. Greylock\, MA up the Green Mountains as far as Mount Killington\, VT and as far as Mount Washington\, NH 104 ai r miles away. Monadnock was bared by fires over 200 years ago. The upper 300 to 400 feet of the mountain is exposed bare rock with 5 spruce covered ridges that emanate outward from the mountain with open crags and exposed l edges offering many scenic and spectacular views.\n\nMount Monadnock became a popular hiking destination in the 19th century. Hotels provided accommo dations\, one was a converted farmhouse\; the Ark\, on the southeastern sid e of the mountain\, now is a bible conference. The other was the Half-way House in the Amphitheater on the southern side of the mountain burned in th e 50's and now is an empty site. There was Fassetts Mountain House as well pre-dating the Halfway House. Trails fanned out to all the scenic spots a ll over Mt Monadnock. From the southeastern side the primary trails evolve d from the Mead Brook Trail and Pasture Trail to the now current main trail s White Dot and White Cross trails.\n\nWith the hotels gone and the cliente le changing from regulars spending a summer vacation to throngs of flat lan ders and group hikes\, a lot of the trails have been abandoned by the park but interesting hiking on the mountain can still be explored and enjoyed. The primary tracts of land on Mount Monadnock have been granted for public pleasure. Monadnock is known as one of the most hiked mountains in the wor ld\, but there is an opportunity to explore trails away from the crowds. M onadnock Mountain is a hiking enthusiast paradise to explore.\n\n\n\nThere is a day use fee: $4 per person\, $2 for children aged 6-12\, children 5 an d under are free and New Hampshire residents over 65 are also free.\nEvery Wednesday is half price for New Hampshire residents.\nA season pass is avai lable for $60.\nDirections to Monadnock State Park\n\n\nhttp://photos2.meet upstatic.com/photos/event/c/6/8/2/highres_11750818.jpeg\n\nCarpooling Locat ions and Times:\n\nExit 2 (Salem NH\, off Route 93) Park and Ride Lot: 7: 15 am\nExit 9S (Manchester\, NH off Route 93) Hannafords Supermarket Parki ng Lot: 7:20 am\n\n\n\nDriving Directions:\n\nFrom Route 3 (Northbound):\nT ake Route 3 north to exit 7 in New Hampshire.

It's a favorite hike of chi ldrens' camps\, so you can expect heavy traffic even on weekdays in the sum mer. \n\nWe will go up the blue trail and to the top and then over to Strai ghback Mountain and back via at the Yellow trail.. \nDistance 5 miles total ..Time 4 hours \nElevation gain: About 1100 feet \n\nTrailhead: Large par king lot S side of NH Route 11 about 2.2 miles E of Route 11-A\, elevation about 650 feet \n43.5193°N\, 71.2738°W (WGS84) \nFrom I-95 in Portsmouth\, follow the Spaulding Turnpike/ NH Route 16 N about 21 miles to exit 15\, th en follow NH Route 11 about 20.6 miles W to parking lot on L. \n\n\nhttp:// photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/0/4/highres_11041028.jpeg\n\n\nTher e is an extensive trail network in the Belknap Range\; this article will de scribe the three most popular routes up Mount Major: \n\nMain Trail: Take t he obvious woods road which leaves the R side of the parking lot as you fac e the mountain. There are blue blazes but you won't need them to follow the road. Almost within sight of the parking lot\, the road forks\; either for k is OK but make sure everyone in your party goes the same way if you don't want to waste much of the day looking for them. After the two rejoin\, the blue blazes and the Main Trail turn left at another junction about .8 mile s from the parking lot. The road becomes a footpath\, often with several br anches which usually rejoin. There are a number of rock slabs to ascend\, a nd because this trail is on the N side and gets a lot of foot traffic\, it may be the iciest route up in cold weather. The trail climbs over a small k noll then steeply up the rocks to the summit. Distance from parking lot: 1. 8 miles. \nOn the return\, look for blue blazes dropping off to the NE. \nB rook Trail: Follow the Main Trail for .8 miles\, then go straight following yellow blazes where the Main Trail turns L. After a dip\, the trail follow s an old road up along the brook - in wet weather some of the trail seems l ike a brook\, and crossings may be difficult at times of high water. At the col between Straightback and Mt. Major\, turn L on the blue-blazed trail t o reach the summit. A route up from the S joins from the R shortly beyond. Distance from parking lot: 2.4 miles. \nOn the return\, take the trail head ing W toward Mt. Belknap\, then go R at the col. Do not take the trail to S traightback Mtn.\, which does not lead "straight back" to the parking lot. \nBoulder Loop: Take the faint snowmobile trail which leaves the L side of the parking lot as you face the mountain. Cross two small bridges within si ght of the parking lot\, then turn R up the bank next to a boulder and cont inue up an old woods road which is growing in. At .4 miles from the parking lot\, turn R at a fork and switchback uphill. Then the road circles downhi ll to the L and finally becomes a trail. The trail ascends through a boulde r field and comes out on ledges which it follows NW to the summit. Distance from parking lot: 1.8 miles. \n\n\nhttp://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/ event/4/0/3/highres_11041027.jpeg\n\nOn the return\, follow the orange blaz es along the ledges to the SE. \nA phantom trailbuilder is at work in the B elknap Range. One day a friend of mine thought he saw a guy come out of the woods with brush clippers and just as quickly go back\; an investigation s howed a freshly-cut trail heading down. Go someplace where you were just la st month and you may find a map taped to a tree showing a new trail to a po int of interest you didn't know about. In fact\, there are at least four mo re trails from this parking lot to the summit of Mt. Major that I'll leave you to discover for yourself - by the time you get there\, there may be mor e.\n\nDover\, NH 03820 - USA\n\nThursday\, November 26 at 8:00 AM\n\nPhoto : http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/9/9/2/event_11762450.jpeg\n\ nAttending: 9\n\nDetails: http://www.meetup.com/4-Seasons-Hiking-Group/cale ndar/11542416/ LAST-MODIFIED:20091004T153754Z UID:event_11542416@meetup.com CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20091004T132538Z DTSTAMP:20091112T071713Z DTSTART:20091126T130000Z DTEND:20091126T150000Z GEO:43.19;-70.91 URL:http://www.meetup.com/4-Seasons-Hiking-Group/calendar/11542416/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Second Annual Thanksgiving Potluck\, football\, walk in the evening and more fun DESCRIPTION:Trailblazers- A Seacoast Singles Meetup Group\n\nWe had a wonde rful time last year and I hope many of you who came join me at my house aga in for a feast and the good fun.
