Thanks to you all. Sure was a sweet surprise at the trailhead after. It was nice to see so many long time hiking friends/acquaintenances. Ed has sparked quite an interest with this nutty Grid...

Congratulations again, John and Pepper! It's been great to run into both of you and was really awesome celebrating with all of you on Saturday. What a great surprise to see so many "legendary...

WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Congratulations, Tom and Laurie! What a place to finish! Looking forward to reading the trip report and maybe seeing some photos. Any idea on the car mileage it...

Congratulations! Your truck was the only one with RI plates so it was an easy guess. I verified with two men in the parking lot that you had summited and were en route back. I had no beer on hand...

Good luck in Baxter, Tom and Laurie! Congratulations on Mansfield and Abraham! Looking forward to hearing about Baxter!

If I were you, I would consider getting up there Friday night and hiking early Saturday. The temperatures are going to be warm this weekend. Hiker Ed and a couple of others did Isolation on Monday...

Three men (Greg, Slowshoes and Somerset) broke out most of the way to Isolation yesterday. Engine Hill was the best route I've ever seen. All water crossings were bridged. I had difficulty route...

Chris- that is a long hike for most people in summer. To do it in winter was magnificent. Stand tall and proud- you did great and your trip report was terrific.

Chris- I have to admit I did not stop off at any of the 5 McD's en route home because the traffic and weather were so bad Saturday evening that I was afraid I'd be sleeping in my car if I stopped. ...

After countless invitations to the NY Rock Stars to come hike in our Whites, Inge, Carl and Peter deigned to say yes. Of course, the initial lure was a Winter Presi Traverse as I didn’t think they...

Congratulations, Sue and Earl! It was nice crossing your paths last spring on Carrigain and Garfield. Good luck on your next endeavor.

Roy- I wish I had done that but it didn't occur to me. At this point, I already changed the cabin but if I get any more intel when we go, I will share the information.

Arm- you are too much. Are you telling me that you did the Sewards that March weekend in '08? I didn't break that out- I poached the work of Ferris and Dunbar. And it was thanks to you that I lost...

Thanks to all of you. I have two reservation forms filled out and I'll probably bag the one for Nesowadnehunk in consideration of my "tender" hiking friends. Inge-I'm dying for an "Inge and Peter"...

Hi, Joe. Yes- that is the spot where many have parked in the past for shorter access to Nesowadnehunk. In spite of that brochure being available on the website, if you call the office, they are...

Jay- BINGO. The park person was pretty vague about it. I know people who have stayed in 'sowadnehunk in past years who parked there no problem but now the park is specifically recommending against...

Hi, all- I just called Baxter inquiring about access this winter to Nesowadnehunk via Golden Road/Telos Road. They said they are "not encouraging people to park there anymore"- whatever that means. ...

Always interested but overly optimistic. The calendar is awfully tight through March right now. But like the guy peddling the NY Lotto tickets says, "hey, you never know!"

Great job, Tom and Laurie! When are you returning there?

OOOH. I'm salivating at the thought, Tom and Laurie. Nothing like the Bigelows, the Crockers and Saddlebacks in Winter. Um, um good. Come on, cold? You can call that cold after all your...

Just hiking under the radar. Couldn't resist responding to some of the "Views" old time posters...thanks for bringing up the pleasant thought of Baxter. My first winter trip there was organized by...

Congratulations, Arm! No surprise that you persisted with the hike, enduring the discomforts of that time of year. Great to see your humor held up along the way!

Really nice, lighthearted thread, J&J! Your photos are beautiful.

I laughed when the guy told me this but verified with Steve Smith afterwards. Honestly, I don't mind going back to do Carrigain. The whole reason for my doing the grid was that it made decision...

Actually, Kevin- I was surprised earlier in April when someone told me my grid hike to Carrigain would not count because I rode my bicycle up Sawyer River Road to the summer trailhead. All the other...
