Have you ever stepped onto the rocky dome at the foot of the Presidentials and seen nothing but mountains rising on all sides of you? Have you ever looked into Zealand Notch while scree surfing down the unstable terrain of a rockslide below a rugged cliff? Have you ever gazed upon the boulder that balances atop a stone column surrounded by cascades? Have you ever come face to face with the stoic profile overlooking Franconia Notch? Touched the most prominent freestanding spire of stone on the east coast? Walked through the darkness of a mine shaft or disturbed the stillness of its underground pool? Have you ever clung to the side of a ledge for a view of the slide-scarred peaks that tower over the Kancamagus or stood amongst the rubble that was once the Old Man of the Mountains? This isn’t your average hiking guide. This is how to escape the crowds and get the views you never dreamed possible by going where others won’t. Follow forgotten paths. Visit lost destinations. Go where trails don’t. These are the White Mountains you never knew you were missing out on. These are the White Mountains you haven’t seen.

The White Mountains are full of secrets. Mountains with no trails. Trails that have been abandoned. Lost waterfalls that we've forgotten over time. Remote cascades that somehow go unnoticed. The places we've been missing out on might just outnumber the list of unforgettable destinations we've already visited and this is only the beginning. In this free sampler we explore 9 locations from three different books. There's a little something in here for everyone, whether you're into waterfalls or mountain views, bushwhacking or staying on the trail and sometimes a little bit of both. This is merely a prelude to prepare you for The White Mountains You Haven't Seen.

Intense. Vulnerable. Lyrical. Heartbreaking. Profound. For years I wielded the microphone as if it were a sword, my only weapon. My books of poetry, my shield. The intricacy of rhymes woven together transformed my weakest moments into an artform. It gave me strength. It gave me hope. It gave me reason. And now I give it to you.

Young Will Parker and his companions make a perilous journey toward an outpost of freedom where they hope to escape from the ruling Tripods, who capture mature human beings and make them docile, obedient servants.

It’s not an addiction, it’s a passion. I love collecting toys. Okay, yeah, fine, maybe a little bit of an addiction. We’ll let you decide. Journey with me as we take a trip back to 2017. The year my beloved WWF Hasbro figures returned to the shelves as WWE Retros. The year Mega Construx added Masters Of The Universe to their line of mini figures. The year I bought a collection of the 2011 Thundercats and found a bag of He-Man figures at a thrift store in the mountains of New Hampshire. While traveling New England for my hiking guides, I stopped at every toy store, flea market and thrift store I came across. Not to mention my parents’ shed and attic, always good places for old treasures. And of course, good old eBay. The cover says it all, you know what we’re hunting down. This isn’t superheroes and Star Wars, I’m looking for those forgotten lines. And a few not so forgotten. We’re talking Dino-Riders and Super Naturals. Wrestling and MOTU. GI Joes, Turtles, the ninja kind, not the ones you have to brake for in the road, Transformers and even, ugh, I know people hate it but I’m gonna say it anyway, Go-Bots. And Thundercats, everyone loves them. Does that make up for it? It was a good year for toy hunting, but not nearly as good as the years that fell around it. Since this book’s a little short, we’re going to give it away for free, just pretend it’s one of those mini comics that came with 80’s action figures. But don’t let your kids read it, some of the humor may be a little inappropriate. They can enjoy the pictures though, just like I did with the actual mini comics that came with my figures when I was a kid. Let’s take a look at my year collecting toys in 2017.

This guide to over 100 waterfalls in the White Mountains of New Hampshire tells the best times of year and vantage points from which to view them, and also gives suggestions for further hikes, swimming holes, and uncrowded picnic spots.

It’s all come to this. All roads lead here, to the end. The end of man. The end of an era. The end of the world. They’ve been abandoned in the wasteland as the apocalypse rages on. Left to die by those they thought were dead. With the helicopter gone, taking all hope with it, there’s only one thing left to do… Survive.

They thought the first day of the zombie outbreak was bad. Tensions rise to an all time high when a new leader takes control of the bus, only to turn that power over to someone far more maniacal. Someone with an agenda that goes beyond survival, an agenda not meant for everyone to survive. And just when you think things can’t get any worse, Noah’s worst case scenario becomes reality. Only two more days until the evacuation center is operational, but will they even be able to last one? The undead masses have multiplied. Running is no longer an option. It’s time to find weapons and fight, not just the bloodthirsty hordes of walking corpses, but each other. Sometimes the destructive tendencies of mankind are too much to endure. Sometimes there’s nothing left to do but watch your last hope go up in flames. Sift through the ashes. Bury those you’ve lost. Mourn what will never be. And find a way to carry on. Alliances are made. Friendships forgotten. Families torn. Another day stolen in a world not meant for the living. But how long can you survive off nothing but adrenaline and hope?

From takeoff to landing, I was on the edge of my seat.
